Former Ministers given 30 days to refund about K65 000 each for overstaying in office

1. I can’t see 65 here.

   • Mwamba Barnabas 65 is the average. And note the phrasing “about k65,000.00”.

     5

     1

   • No Mwamba is right. K65 000 is not the correct average. Just do your maths.

2. The fairest way to recover this money would have been to get it from the source of the misleading decision. He was too sure he was making the right decision. So let him pay the whole amount from the proceeds he has accumulated since he became president.

   • Tukafililamunsenga Kambwili this was a wrong move, ministers should have refused and stepped aside.

     9

   • Tukafililamunsenga Kambwili exactly. Why do even beat about the Bush when we know who exactly is chief misleader here ADADA

   • Lazarous Lungu that is how foolish they were because it benefited them illegally. They even went further by clapping for him when he declared that illegal decision.

   • Why does the headline say “Former” Ministers?

     3

3. You have left the main culprit here how much did he get just asking for a friend?

7. I feel sorry for Mwenya Musenge, please help a colleague in need. Edgar Chagwa Lungu is a lawyer but he usually misinterprets the Law and this is enough proof. He managed to mislead a lot of people. Just like on his 3rd Term, he has mislead himself and he’s misleading others. These are the consequences of impunity, however, the consequences for the 3rd Third will be more harsh. It’s a lesson to the Ministers and others that are serving under him that while he has immunity they don’t. They’ll individually face the Law. So ensure that your decisions are well-thought and above board

9. Hope PF wont cry again that they were misled by Lungu. The man is not eligible to stand bane. Pick someone else before its too late.

10. This is a awekup call to all PF. The man you are following is a lawyer who cant interprate the law and this is what is going to happen to his third term hungry. Please take this as a serious warning and you should start introspecting your leader or find a backup plan. “In bemba we say kutungulwa nepofu kuwila mubuchinag or muchilindi”

14. The same way he is misinterpreting the law now that he is eligible for re election is the same way he misinterpreted the law when he misled ministers to remain in power then. This man who has brought the economy to its knees is amazing

15. Richwell and greyford I see you

16. Hmmmmm they will not pay. I can see them appealing to other courts like industrial court.

17. Labour office may rescue these former ministers.

    • Chipango Tobias Libimba nah. This is a concourt ruling. It’s final

      2

18. I thought the president is a lawyer. Why did he allow this to happen?

19. If this was South Africa the President could have been impeached

    • Preston Kiyumbi I normally watch yaaya

    • Vincent Kyamasengo liar

    • Marcellus Chakwana Phiri so you think bleaching a constitution is simple?

21. This is nothing, they have so much money.

22. What about those who have died

    3

23. These are type of leaders we have in Zambia when the majority of Zambians are suffering I can’t believe this

24. It’ll be interesting to see what the Attorney General’s advice was if at all it were sort. There might even be a serious breach here

    3

25. What about those who have passed on? What will be the recovery plan?

    1

26. Dununa reverse

    2

27. one man is missing on the list …..the judas

    4

28. Infact these are under calculations especially for full Cabinet Ministers. It cannot be less than a K100, 000 each. These people spend huge sums of money during campaigns

    2

29. We need to charge them with kaloba interest of 50% per month from May 2016 to Dec 2020. Also we need to add all the fuel and air travels enjoyed for the period

    6

30. Only Panji, Kambwili and Kalaba will pay from their pocket. The rest PF government will pay. And to whom are they paying back anyway? PF government is not claiming the money, why pay to themselves?

    2

31. This is e evindence enough to impeach mr lungu

32. Zambia is a true democratic country. Let all of us respect our judicial system.

    2

33. why not the one who directed them to get the salaries

    1

34. We need evidence of payment and the money should be shared equally between selected offanages and old people’s homes.

35. And What About The One Who Misinterpreted The Law And Misled Them To Fall Into This Trap, Enve Azalipila Zingati?

    2

36. This is the benefit of having a solid rule of law in the country. The judgement will be respected. We also hope that the opposition will respect the constitution court’s ruling on ECLs eligibility. You cannot be selective in what you consider a fair ruling when it comes from the same source.

    Is it not funny that we have some clowns in opposition who still claim that our courts are corrupt and biased? Name one country in Africa where their courts can make such a ruling against a sitting government. More evidence of the advances made under pf. That is why we are winning again in 2021.

37. The exchange rate (K/$) on 1July 2016 was K9.8, the rate today is K21.3, kwacha has depreciated by 115%. Therefore we expect ministers who held office illegally to pay back our money with 100% interest.

38. Wanitwa mos!

    1

39. Hmmmm pay back the money iwe

    1

40. Ni pang’ono apa. They have a lot of money according to the Veep. They are successful businessmen and women and are able to even donate ma buses to constituencies. Wanitwa mos!!!

    2

41. What of various decisions they could have made during that illegal? Wouldnt they be rendered null and void. it should just follow suit. Those who were affected negatively by those decisions made by ministers during that time can’t they sue someone or the state.

    1

42. Interest hasn’t been taken into account in this ruling. Money depreciates and this was four years ago. Judgement needs to be fair

    3

43. Elo ninshi others on that list are now broke!!!!! Pay back the money.

    2

44. This means 2016 Presidential Elections were Free but NOT fair! PF with illegally serving Ministers abused government resources to give PF undue advantage. With the alleged difference of 100,000 votes, PF lost the election and forced themselves on us! The shredding of opposition ballots for which someone was arrested for witnessing the rot is proof enough that someone lost! This is the reason Pigeons refused to fly! Even the Chief Justice refused to swear him in. He is therefore governing illegally!

    2

45. The were doing Zambian a service… it is not like they got the money and consumed it on their own they worked for it and it was legally earned…….So for me this refund is not convincing me…..Zambians paid them and now they should pay Who is going to pay them for the days they worked extra? Law sometimes is very tricky. When they start claiming for payment for the days they remained in offices serving Zmbians who is going to pay them?

    3

46. Embarrassing again for PF government.
    1- Refusing and prevaricating to acknowledge court ruling that offending ministers falsely stayed in office after dissolution of parliament.
    2-Defrauded Zambian tax payers of national financial resources badly needed
    3- Defrauding PF ministers insisting with impunity, rendered services to the nation in their illegal status
    4- Refunding to national coffers ALONE is not enough, they committed a crime warranting punishment which courts must decide.
    5- The 65 PF defrauding ministers should in turn sue Edgar Chagwa Lungu for causing embarrassment to PF party and individual ministers
    Some PF members are hurt with truth, which is better than make them happy with a lie.

47. Dont pay!!!!!

48. You and I are being mocked here. Let them open up a public booth where these mwankole’s will deposit the money. For all I know, no one will pay this money. And when you look at that team, you even wonder, how did we end up with such people as our leaders mwebantu?

    3

    1

49. I need to see the calculation, was napsa included it has to be added because eventually that will be theres. The exchange rate should be factored in as well. We need this money like yesterday. It would have saved students meal allowance.

50. Lungus reasoning was that, even if ordered to pay back , his ministers would have stolen enough by now….

51. oh,at 30 days how they going to pay is it by cheques or cash?

    1

52. James Kabaso, are u OK UPSTAIRS

53. @Intelligensia they are not our leaders. They are just employees. Employees of the President who appointed them. They dont become our leaders because they are ministers no. If anything they are supposed to be our servants

    1

54. They shld pay with interest : Back then the kwacha was trading at approximately k10 per dollar, today that is k21 per dollar, simply :$1= k21. . Depreciation of over 100%. .
    Thus, the money shld be paid wth a 100% interest. .

55. Really laughable…you listened to a corrupt lawyer you pay heavily …Greyford Monde you foooolish boy today you are suffering you dont even have K200 in your pocket

56. WE TOLD YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS!!

57. I have volunteered to cover the costs for all those that are currently unemployed. That is what brothers and sisters do for each other. The upnd maggots think this translates into them winning elections. Very f00lish

58. Ka tarino olo ukambe nyo we are still ruling your for another 5 years

    2

59. Meanwhile retirees hardly get their dues

60. I don’t know if I am reading this right but thats not a lot of money to make noise about. They can pay that with no problems and we move on other matters. Someones want us to think they have started to do the right things

61. That was a political move he made. Think Big Eyateyeke bane
