President Hakainde Hichilema has said that there will be no sacred cow in the fight against Corruption. The President has since declared that his administration is determined to eradicate corruption.
He has also called for renewed impetus in the country’s fight against the vice.
President Hichilema has reiterated that there is NO sacred cow in the Fight against Corruption and that his Administration is determined to eradicate the Vice.
Speaking when he met German Chancellor’s Personal Representative for Africa Gunter Nooke at the state house in Lusaka today, the Head of State said his administration will guarantee democratic space to all political players and freedom of association including
reedom of information.
President Hichilema said Government appreciates bilateral relations Zambia has enjoyed with Germany.
He said Zambia is facing a challenge of debt and that Government looks forward to working with the German Government in dismantling arrears.
President Hichilema said his administration is keen on implementing decentralization and that it is taking national resources that were controlled by a small number of people in Lusaka to other parts of the country.
He further said Zambia needs the support of Germany in tackling climate change issues, poverty reduction and providing alternative sources of income.
President Hichilema said Zambia needs to move from borrowing to putting in place entrepreneurship opportunities for its people.
And Mr. NOOKE expressed appreciation for the Government’s ambitious social and economic reform agenda, its zero-tolerance stance on corruption and commitment to good governance.
He assured President Hichilema that Germany stands ready to build a partnership for reforms with the New administration.
No sacred cows indeed. But we want actual valid convictions – not punitive arrests on trumped up “insults” charges!
#plant a tree now!
The most important component of the corruption fight that is you as the incumbent must ensure that your Ministers and senior officers behave. Some tax holidays and concessions might not be innocent. Acquaint yourself with the Varun K15BN tax holiday that Kingsley Chanda exposed and collected. The moment you appointed Situmbeko we knew that Kingsley’s days at ZRA were numbered. It’ll be futile to pursue former leaders when you own are doing the same. And think that it’ll be easy. Zambia is in the hands of the Mafia, a very dangerous Mafia. LPM’s speech on FTJ’s immunity was stolen from his office at State House. That’s not a joke
We will wait and see.
“…President Hichilema said his administration is keen on implementing decentralization and that it is taking national resources that were controlled by a small number of people in Lusaka to other parts of the country…..”
The clique of theives .,………
It is sad that some have associated this statement with a tribe…….
My uncle would beat all of us, his children and his nephews. Late at night he would console his children: I BEAT YOU BECAUSE I DON’T WANT THESE PEOPLE TO THINK I HATE THEM. DON’T WORRY VERY SOON I WILL FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF THEM.
Fight against corruption my foot!! How many people have been arrested or are appearing in court for corruption since he took office?
Fighting corruption is not an easy task Sir – ku koosa…! By now you may have seen how they want to appeal to tribal support. They stole from the same people they want to claim are being segregated on tribal lines. The weak minds can actually believe them.
How can one balance tribes on crime ? The people who were in power are well known and nobody amongst these same thieves corrected the regime that time to balance tribes in the public offices- why ? They were comfortable with the state of affairs and would have loved it to continue.
Your Excellence we wish you God’s guidance and protection as you preside on the affairs of this Great Nation and let no thief stand your way – AMEN and AMEN.

So your perception of a crusade against certain tribes by HEHH has has deep pycological roots ???………
@ 6 Exactly my question. I think we as a country are ill trained to handle corruption cases. The caliber of professionals at ACC and DEC leaves much to be desired. I really don’t like how alleged cases are being publicized. Isn’t that tipping?
Starting from yourself….explain how you acquired wealth…..and look at his face and body Language when he is with bazungu….you never see him smile when he is with fellow black people…pure uncle Tom….and don’t forget Musokotwane and 48 houses

Hhmmmm………badala , ……..
Some if you are showing pycological damage fro m the HH presidency……..
Maybe GRZ needs to commission mass councilling sessions…………
PEOPLE PATIENCE IS NEEDED HERE
FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW PF MUPPETS WERE IN EVERY SECTOR OF BUSINESS AND SOCIETY
NOTE SA THE ZONDO COMMISSION HERE HOW MANY YEARS NOW ??
ZAMBIA IS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED FIRST WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP MAGISTRATES AND JUDGES
BEFORE THIS PROCESS EVEN STARTS OTHERWISE IT WILL BE FUTILE
When will recovery of assets and prosecution of thieves start ? In year 2031?
Where I am standing, I can only hear barking, no biting.
Remember you only have 4.75 years before next election. Zambians will fire you if you do not start acting.
Where are the fast track courts you promised ??
There is tendency for Politician – thieves to always call for tribal sympathy. Somehow it works because of the sensitivity associated with it in a multi -tribal country like ours. I remember of a former Minister who issued some hate speech against his wife’s tribe just to get his tribal support.
SHAME…!
HH why did you refuse to declare your assets as required by the laws of the land? ECL was vilified because his aeets jumped after being a head of state for 3 years. Why are you afraid of declaring your assets?. No sacred cows indeed, why are you shy of answering questions on how you acquired the Govt Hotel in Livingstone? Doesn’ t this means that you are promoting talk shows only and not real fight against corruption? The lame excuse you give that ” hwy are you not in prison?” is the same reason your PF counter parts are not in prison because they have not been tried. You are not in prison HH because you are not tried in our courts. When you are no longer a head of state you will answer those questions.
