  2. Its a circus government. All we want is for Nchito and Fred to pay back the K14billion. Its tax payer’s money. The minister of Finance should also resign for interfering with this case. 

  5. Imwe ba Mutembo Nchito, when you were at UNZA, you were a staunch born again Christian. I remember you used to preach to us in the new lecture theater every friday evening. Now what has happened to you kanshi? Is it the love of money or the devil has done his work on you, young man!

    • I’ve known Mutembo since campus days and he’s still very much a commited christian. In terms of “love of money” that is simply far from the truth. He is a very genourous person and respects the friedships he has made over time. Re: Zambian Airways was a separate entity from the shareholders so they are legally not liable for any loses. 

    • I do not know him personally, so i cannot say whether he is a good christian or not or whether he loves money or not. What I know is that he personally guaranteed the loan.

    • Mr. Spike, a director who uses personal surety to secure a loan for his limited company becomes personally liable and can lose everything – even his underpants.

    • What do you mean finally made it through Ziale? He passed the bar exams a long time ago (October 1972)

  8. Musonda is just scared shi+less of the findings that the tribunal will make public about him. This letter does not prove anything except that Musonda is a scared unprincipled thief who can not take responsibility for his actions.

    Please arrest him for his own safety.

  9. So why has this letter been leaked??? What an immature government. Imwe pls I miss Mwanawasa and KK – very mature leaders!

    • My sentiments exactly..so very immature!Not too long ago LAZ president was threatening severe reprimands to lawyers giving press releases on ongoing cases,particular that involving the suspended judges,I suppose its a preserve of State house only……no matter how unwarranted!

  12. I’m beginning to believe the theory the Sata wants to sort Mmembe and Nchito thu this tribunal, why else would he leak this letter? Daily Mail has become the new and deteriorated Post.what load of nonsense they publish.Leave this judge who has faithfully served for 31 years alone! We have no qualms against him.

    • Public discourse should be on development.These matters are supposed to be handled by the Intelligence service and not for public domain.The PF govt should grow up.

  13. this sucks, we need law and order not anarchy of ignorancy when u’ve been out side zambia and look back at whats coming from the leaders of the country u understand the defference between empty education and civilization.

  14. All we demand is FRED MEMBE AND NCHITO PAY 14BN full stop. we will not go to sleep untill this money is paid back. Whoever influenced the write off will also be accountable.ATI allergic to corruption!!!!! instead of ADDICTED to corruption USELESS GOVENMENT OF UKWA

  15. can we stop pre emptying the tribunal before it sits we want to know the truth not through piece meal information from the media, further JUDGE MUSONDA mustnt treat himself as a convict nor should people treat as such…..the truth will set him free not public sympathy

  17. Criminals have regrouped nd and are now ready to milk Zambia until the last drop of blood drops out. Shame 

  19. Zambia is too big for these selfish fxxls. Can you work to preserve our peace and talk development. Amarubbish chabe

  20. Something is very wrong with the system – why wasn’t the letter made available solely to the tribunal and published together with its findings? If the man is afraid, why not reassure him instead of further worsening matters? Why is there so much confusion in the country right now? We make donations we cant afford to make; there are tribunals and commissions everywhere; qualified people are being kicked out; people in retirement are being called out to work in positions they have no more orientation in and worse still, the presidents cronies are running the show. Reminds me of the settings before the French and Russian revolutions….people can only take so much……nibani aba leteka kanshi?

  21. Musonda is just scared out of nothing. Let him just face the tribunal, then he can resign later. Maybe he is scared that he may lose his terminal benefits, but that is what one pays for when you do not behave professionally.

  24. so why did chelleh leak the letter to the press? hmmm..there is something this PF govt is plotting against an innocent man just to protect these two real thieves fred and nchito, 

  25. Judge Musonda is really really scared! Why would any man who is clean & was not acquitting Chiluba & Regina corruptly be scared of being destroyed? This man knows that there is a lot of dirt about him that will soon be exposed. He knows that proceeds of his criminal corruption with Chiluba & Regina will be ceased, so as to stop him from enjoying corruptly poisoned money, hence this panic of early retirement & transfering all his money to his wifes’ account. Judge Musonda should sit still as figiting may make him fart and we will all know how smelly he is before even the tribunal findings are published. Zambians should remind themselves how we were all so upset with this man for acquitting Chiluba! Today some lunatic above refered to him faithfully serving Zambia! Are you for real???

  26. this is a very serious issue and should not be taken lightly the judge can even commit suicide police watch this man and ensure that he does not kill himself before he answers his charges

  27. Unhappy Tonga, you are very right bro! Chellah should have been sharing this letter with IG Libongani & firm guarding judge to ensure his protection. If judge is this desperate, he could do anything! Watch unhappy Tongas’ words.

  28. a secret titled should never ever be shown to the public…….unless it was to the tribunal…..if its true Mr chellah leaked this then i fear how many state secrets are being leaked

  29. We shall wait and see and indeed hear what the president will do, kaili these are his boys. We are all watching. And i really want to hear you hard-co Sata supporters comment when he has made decisions concerning this……vizawama vintu…..VIVA ELYASI CHIPIMO !!!!!

  31. @2 You always talk about the 14billion Nchito and Mmembe owe. Could you shade more light to me so that I also follow what you are talking about. It is good news that they return the money

  32. Ha ha ha, the clever Bemba clan at each others throats lol. for us kinakoooooooooooo. Byeeeeeeeeeee. Enjoy stealing and insulting each other.

  36. I dont know where we are heading as a country. In the first place Mutembo should be investigated full stop.

  38. The Truth shall be known… one day George chellah shall be prosecuted for leaking state secrets.Ukwa has immunity and even if he leaves office he will be free. George must be trained by OP how to handle Ukwa without soiling his hands…otherwise GC uzanya sooner than later…Ukwa can even dump u manje manje.

  40. President should step in and relieve the DPP of his duties “immediately” whether this article is true or false to save the office ridicule.

  41. The Daily Mail must interview Musonda if he really wrote that letter.If he did then he knows that he has done something wrong and is scared for his wrongdoings.

  44. # 35 You cant compare Levy style to the drama we r watching…George Chellah ur a civil servant now…please enroll at NIPA just for one week otherwise kaya..! Your role is to normalise the polisticians gymnastics not to leak docs! as for Nchito your integrity is not there any more. We have pipo who can be DPP GO zwaaaa!

  45. LT, please that flag @ 38 ‘Distant Drums’ is not right, I have always been in the UK and still in the UK, if you can’t get the Union Jack, publish my threads without any flag. Thank you.

    • Man it depends on where your computer gateway is. If the IP is from Canada, then you get a canadian flag!

  47. Such leaks and revelations will compromise the work of the tribunal. In the end people will will take the decision and recommendations of the tribunal with a pinch of salt. The letter is clearly marked “Secret” so what happened to keeping state secrets secret if State House is in the forefront of revealing secrets?

  48. Introduction of things to come. “We hold these truths to be self evident that a Government of Kaponyas by Kaponyas for Kaponyas is indeed 20 years steps backwards for our country”. Zambians have a duty to RE-SET the governance system in the nation. In a democratic dispensation Zambians have tested various styles of governance and the need to change is in the offing and at hand. Lets progress together with other developing nations with new blood, new thinking, new politics of integrity.

  50. The guilty is always afraid .Musonda should wait for findings of the tribunal imwe mwebanti dont run away from the fact. LAZ and outstanding Lawyers complained about this Hon Jugde.Whether he resigns or not he will still appear before the tribunal period.Mutembo and the rest has not stolen from Zambians there were running a business which had gone into administration that’s is business it’s happening every where the Bank is to blame for what do ever they are ones to bear the costs

  51. The life of the judge being threatened because of a newspaper article? Suppose its true that the story is false, does a newspaper need the involvement of the intelligence to make such a mistake? We read of newspaper making apologies for publishing wrong stories, sometimes even against state house, are they instigated by the intelligence? And since when did Nchito start commanding the intelligence? This allegation just proves that the judge really has a bone to chew with Mutembo. And for a person whose work involves passing judgements based on evidence at the highest court in the land to make these baseless conclusion speaks volumes about the kind of judges we have.

  54. @Boss wamphamvu, Declassification works well in countries where the bill of freedom of information operates I don’t if Zambia has that as yet.

  55. @50 No you don’t know. It works everywhere my friend. Why dub it classified if it cannot at any one point be declassifed. whether FOI is in place or not it does work bwana. Some of this information is meant for those championing the cause they know nothing about. Lets wait for the Tribunal to sit.

  56. Why are the opposition so desperate. Have the three judges got information on them? For too long the judiciary has been failing the people of Zambia. Instead of running around like deperados, the opposition need to calm down. Why go to the EU as if we are still a colony? They need to allow the tribunal to conclude. They are never so worked up when corrupt individuals are allowed to walk.

  57. IT DOESN’T EVEN TAKE A FOOL TO SEE THRU THIS LETTER AND CONCLUDE THAT THE JUDGE IN QUESTION IS FEARING HIS OWN SHADOW. HE HAS JUST REALISED THAT THE WRONG DOINGS HE DID ARE NOW CATCHING UP WITH HIM. WHO IS GOING TO KILL HIM? THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO KILL HIM HAVE ALL BEEN WRONGLY SENTENCED AND SERVING PRISON SENTENCES, BY NON OTHER THAN THE JUDGE HIMSELF. IWE JUDGE ULIWAMA JOKES SANA AI? YOU USED TO JAIL ROOSTER THIEVES AND LET REAL THUGS GO SCOT-FREE, TODAY YOUR EYES ARE SO WIDELY OPEN TO SEE MURDERERS? YOU CHAPS HAVE MESSED UP THE WHOLE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN ZAMBIA WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN IT.

  58. Circus in Zambia.

    1. Mtembo and Membe must return the money. 2. Judge Musonda should not think of retiring before the tribunal. 3. DPP should go on leave if he doesnt want to step down until his case is disposed off. 4. The finance minister must resign and apologise to me and us if indeed he is tempering with our money at DBZ. 5. HH needs to be more organised by opposing only things that Sata doesnt do well not opposing everything, how is he going to rule himself? What would he have himself if found in this situation were the judiciary is rotten corrupt.Lastly, Sata shouldn t renew the contract for CJ, he should appoint either Justice Mumba or Mambilima

  59. PLEASE, POLICE FOR THE SAFETY OF ANOTHER LU-NAR-TICK JUDGE AND TO AVOID EMBARASSMENT, SEE TO IT THAT THIS JUDGE DOES NOT DECIDE TO SUMMARISE HIS OWN LIFE, OR SEEK REFUGEE IN THE US EMBASSY LIKE WHAT HENRY HAS DONE. HE HAS NOW BECOME A POTENTIAL COST CENTRE TO TAX-PAYERS AND A DANGER TO SOCIETY. BECOS WHEN HE DECIDES TO SUMMARISE HIS LIFE IT WILL THE TAX-PAYER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR HIS REMAINS DISPOSSSAL.

  60. @Boss wamphamvu…..lol. So, in your logical understanding when something is dubed with a certain criterion then there should be an automatic opposite of it? No man/lady, the legal framework does not operate like that. There procedures and ultimately there should be a cause (herein of national interest) for an item to be declassified. Because of this procedural and cause constraint some countries have sought and passed the FOI to make such information as may be vital to the public readily available.

  61. #40. WHICH THIEF DID LEVY JAIL, DESPITE HIM BEING A LEGAL CHAP? LEVY WAS TOO SLOW AND JUST A SHOW OFF TO THE WESTERN WORLD THAT HE WAS INSTILLING SANITY IN ZAMBIA WHILE HE WASN’T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF IT WERE TRULY NOT HIS PERSONAL AGENDA, KAFUPI SHOULD HAVE DIED IN JAIL, RH SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN APPOINTED AS VIP, IT WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SO DIFFICULT TO GET A PASSPORT DURING HIS RULE. THE ONLY FORMER PRESIDENT I RESPECT TO A GREATER EXTENT IN ZAMBIA IS KK. KK HAD IS OWN WEAKNESSES, BUT HE DELIVERED US FROM COLONIAL BONDAGE, HE ALSO MADE US (ZAMBIANS) SUCRIFFICE FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE SOUTHERN REGION TO SEE THEIR FREEDOMS, TOO. FOR ME WHO SAW A BOMB RIPPING HOUSE IN KAMWALA, ETC, JUST TO KILL ONE REFUGEE, I THINK SUCRIFFICING FOR FELLOW HUMANS WAS GREAT AND NOBLE.

  63. #56 MUKAME. THE PANIC IN MOST OPPOSITION LEADERS (OR AT LEAST A HANDFUL) GIVES YOU A HINT ON WHERE AND HOW SOME GOT THEIR RICHES AND WEALTH. I AM PRETTY SURE SOME OF THEM MASSIVELY UNDER-DEVALUED LIQUIDATED COMPANIES TO SUIT THEIR POCKETS SO THAT IN TURN THEY COULD BE ABLE TO BUY THEM, THEMSELVES. SO, IT’S NO WONDER THEIR PANTS ARE GETTING INCREASINGLY SMALLER AT A HIGH RATE FOR THEIR ERECTIONS.

  64. Im sure most blogers remember how Mmembe and his toilet Past paper Post newspaper had a field when Mwanawasa govt entered a nolle proque against Kashiwa Bulaya’s case. He made sure that the case was resumed and the poor guy was sent to jail.
    Mmembe should practice what he preachs and not vice versa. DBZ issue is a dead issue if those corrupt chaps pay what back belongs to the Zambian pipo.
    14 billion does not in any way belong to Pf party nepotic govt or Sata’s pocket but from zambian pipo hence the demand for paying back.

  65. OUT OF THE 3 ACCUSED JUDGES WHY IS MUSONDA THE ONLY ONE PANICKING?THE GUILTY ARE ALWAYS AFRAID,HE HAS SAID A LOT OF THINGS  DEFEND HIMSELF,IF HE WAQS CLEAN HE SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT ZEE MANINGI.

  66. I thought the rule of confidentiality overrides the rule of disclosure or does that not apply to Zambian law?

  67. So here we are now defending a bemba against bemba vultures. I think the lesson is; do not think you are safe from these corrupt mafia simply because you are bemba, Musonda is suffering at the hands of his own tribesmen for siding with what is right….but the mafia have vowed not to repay the loan, 14 billion kwacha. They will win in the short term but never in the long term…..

  68. Its unfortunate that judges are being exposed in this manner,but the rule of law is cardinal,My president the bible says be slow to act and consult for confidence.wish zambia well.

  69. Musonda is not panicking amy have said, the man fears for his life.And its true mafias like Nchito can stage anything at anybody in their quets to prove their innocence. Good stratege Justice Musonda, let thoz who should know knw wat is transpiring before u are made to go missing.God is with u and the truth will help set u free.
    Our request is for Nchito to live the that office, he should not use it now as a stage for plotting tactics on people, he should resign now, if even keep holding to that office is not gona make it raise the 14 billion he suppose to pay back.

  71. Sure Judge Musonda is in danger, even his personal complaints are being published on internet? This shows that even the State house can’t protect him, the State House or whoever leaked such poorly written letter is supporting Mutomba Nchito.

  72. Mmembe and Nchito have manipulated a “not – so – clever – president” to advantage. He has gone so far as instructing DBZ and Chikwanda to “forgive” the money that Mmembe and Nchito owe; monies that essentially belongs to the tax – payers. Why? If this is not corruption , what is? This gullible man wants to tell the nation he is allergic to corruption. What allergy? he is plain rotten to the core and loosing respect of the Zambian people by the day.

  74. One would have expected the good judge to ask the president for police protection until the tribunal had sat and finsshed its work! Why using the wife’s account when the wife can easily access the funds in both accounts? Who could have sought Presidential protection between Chanda Chimba and the judge?

  75. The letter is not leaked pipo.Sata said all correspondence on this matter should be made public.After all what’s secret about the letter?NOTHING!!!

  77. Out of 13million people Zambians have failed to chose a capable leader, all this is just bad management.Alot of time will be wasted on witch hunting.

  78. I take it that those that will read this posting are normal minded.
    Weak minds have no idea where the nation is headed if we continue to move on this path.
    Intelligent minds can see already where we are going.
    Weak minds are still in their election after-math celebration gear with their vitenges batch, coiled, threaded and wound around their waists; shaking from one side to another – back and forth. Never tiring they continue to bath in their own sweat which results from their vigorous dance of PF victory celebration.
    They are like excited little children who, after a nice party, fail to realise that the music has stopped and so they continue to instinctively shake their bodies as they remember the rythm. In their minds the music never stops. What a shame!!

  79. Chanda Chimba must be loughing at the country.
    Some of the youths spend all the little they had on the PF election victory celebrations hoping they will replace it using the more money they were promissed.
    But alas! up to now they are still broke and have not recovered since!!!

  80. Too much drama in ZED!! I am watching the movie with apprehension coz I am not sure if Ukwa will accept any tribunal findings contrary to his expectations…He is in POWER mind you!! Bushiiit!!

  81. Fire me if you want….I will go to the grave shouting and fighting…Everyday is drama.. We need development… Nobody eats politics…

  82. LT. I am dissapointed with you. You are now behaving like the watchdog or tumfweko. You are twisting stories. The headline is misleading it should read MUSONDA ALLEGES THAT NCHITO CONSPIRED TO DESTROY HIM. The heading “Letter from Justice minister to President -Nchito allegedly conspired to destroy Justice Musonda” impllies that IT IS the Justice minister WHO is making this allegation NOT justice Musonda. LT please be impartial otherwise u start to slowly lose credibility

  83. I am also wondering why you have chosen not to publish the letter that was written by Justice Musonda. It was also made public!!!!! LT pull up your socks!

  85. All things have been said, Nchoto and Mmembe’s company should pay back the K14billion. Mmembe has got away with a lot of things in this country and this one he should not excape. Tribunal has been set and no turning back it seems. We need the money to be paid back period. As for Nchito being DDP it is okay since this is a govt for the Bembas and all position are up for them only.

  86. This is very childish; Chellah should as well be groomed than behaving so cheap. Very Useless, Including the Justice Musonda. Transferring Money from his account for what?? Refuge in American Embassy?? They will chase you. Zambia will never stop amazing its citizens. Our Leaders sometimes behave so dull. Ma Rubbish??

  87. HH, was spot on this evening when answered questions on Africa Unite Muvi TV assignment at 20:30 Zambian time. He clearly articulated the points. MCS should be pinching himself for thinking that he is going to bulldoze his way and get away with it. When he was in opposition he met foreign diplomats left, right and centre but now he does not want his colleagues to do so. We already told you that Satanists have regrouped. Mutembo Nchito has been hiding behind the born again Christian issue, but he is not any different from the masonries he has gone to bed with. We cannot blame M’Membe because he has not claimed any christianity he is who he is. He saves his master who he belongs to.

  88. Can someone tell us why Government is not talking about the Loan repayment. Surely Mmembe and his Freinds will have to pay back our K14 Billion.
