The opposition Patriotic Front (PF) has accused government officials of using the office of the Attorney General and that of the Solicitor General to cleanse themselves of the atrocities they may have committed before getting into government.
PF Member of the Central Committee Chairperson for Information and Publicity Hon Rapheal Nakacinda told the media at the Party Secretariat in Lusaka that it is shocking that the current Speaker of the National Assembly Nelly Mutti is trying to sue the State for malicious damage.
Hon Nakacinda disclosed that the Speaker who was once in court over allegations of fraud and theft of more than K35 million is sitting on nolle prosequi.
The MCC said the retirees who dragged her to court on the said allegations are equally shocked to learn that she is suing the State.
He however challenged the Attorney General to address the nation and explain why his office has now turned into a secret chamber to which the UPND officials and those that have been appointed to serve in the UPND government are using to cleanse themselves.
“This morning I was besieged of the a group of retirees that were represented at some point by the current speaker of the national assembly who happens to have been alleged at some point in some fraudulent activities that led to those pensioners to report her to the police,” he said.
“And the matter was taken to court. Apparently, the matter did not proceed because she was basically saved by a nolle. As we speak now, the pensioners are shocked to have found that she is trying to sue the State for malicious prosecution when in fact she is only sitting on a nolle. The current Attorney General needs to address the nation and inform us why his office has now turned into a secret chamber to which the UPND officials and those that have been appointed to serve in the UPND government are using to cleanse themselves of the atrocities they may have committed before getting into government.”
Hon Nakacinda alleged that there is an orchestrated plan by government officials to use the office of the Attorney General and the Solicitor General for people to syphon money through consent judgments.
“We have heard of the President himself suing for malicious prosecution when he is simply siting on a nolle. We have heard of assistants and advisers to the president who have also through the Attorney General suggesting that they are claiming damages for certain acts they committed before they got into government,” he said.
“We know that there is an orchestrated plan to use the office of the Attorney General and the Solicitor General for people to siphon money through a consent judgment, to cleanse themselves and also to and to obtain money through such fraudulent activities.”
And the MCC expressed displeasure in the continued accusations by President Hakainde Hichilema that PF Members of Parliaments are corrupt.
“We know that the President has been addressing himself to say that Parliament, he has no regard to the people’s assembly. Maybe because he himself and his colleagues are guilty of what they are accusing Patriotic Front of,” he said.
“Because you cannot stay on the matter consistently calling honorable colleagues who have served for over ten years in Parliament corrupt without evidence. A person who accuses other people consistently of something it may just be that they are guilty themselves of those same crimes. And the evidence is what is now happening in the office of the Attorney General.”
When was the Nolle entered? Under PF or UPND?
If She was unfairly and maliciously prosecuted – why not? She, just like you, Nakachinda, are, by law, entitled to sue for Malicious Prosecution.
STATE DROPS CASE AGAINST NELLY MUTTI
THE ZAMBIAN WATCHDOG
24 November 2015
The PF state has discontinued the case in which it has been persecuting Lusaka Lawyer Nelly Mutti.
This is in a matter in which Mutti, 58 a lawyer of Lukona Chambers, was facing 33 counts of forgery, theft and uttering a false document contrary to the Laws of Zambia.
We’ll to see the writs before we comment
In my opinion Honourable Silvier Masebo is an alarmist. She doesn’t deserve the cardinal position of a Minister of Health in the situation we are in. Am made to think Honourable Chilufya is matured than what we are being subjected to. How many people is our humble honourable trying to tramp on pushing her agenda? Telling me you are targeting 2 million shows me your lack of analytics. What is the population of matured Zambians? Stop thinking election numbers madam.
Can hh hurry up and employ some of our relatives who sacrificed and risked their lives to get him elected. We are tired and the pf clowns are clearly getting too comfortable.
Crazy, what is this guy talking about, insane
Let us be fair sometimes. Chitalu Chilufya just sued ACC recently – what was your comment ? What is evident is that you abused the nolle pro se qui during your rule to persecute your political opponents. They have a life and the right to be compensated by the State.
There is no honour in stealing my friend. We know you have stolen and It is just a matter of time all evidenced shall be available. Your fake companies are not even paying taxes. Please stop playing with our minds.
Power is the final destiny for the rich guys they crave for it like mad, they want to control everything before they die but it can also bring pain much pain before they die, some have become tinpot dictators and died terrible deaths power is as dangerous as a knife given to a child or fire placed near crawling a child.
Mind your language Mr Nakachinda. Your frustration might cause you trouble soon. When you say ” The speaker is trying to cleanse herself out of atrocities committed ” ..that is a serious accusation and can be sued so that you prove your allegations. Use your dysfunctional Binoculars wisely…
I don’t have any respect for Nakachinda but on this one I will wait and see if what he’s saying will be proven right or wrong. Hope those pensioners got their dues.
