About time …I am surprised these people are still working as Directors in these organisations, when are you going to arrest Chilufya and his former PS…this deal occured on their watch!!
It’s time we change these bail conditions as
Even after committing a crime the next minute he is on bond.Let those who have cases to remain in custody for two weeks so
They can learn a lesson.Some crimes should
Not be bailable like corruption.
@ Tarino Orange
Just wait and see.. In my view ->
ACC should not arrest people anyhow .. However those arrested will give information that may connect Chilufya
If there is sufficient invidence that can lead to his arrest.
Those defective condoms made a wart grow on my cock…these pipo need to see the inside of a prison ,,, they put too many lives at risk.
Why only now ACC? Why couldn’t they be arrested when the PF was in government? The outcry was there from the public. There was even an editorial comment in” News Diggers!” newspaper complaining and asking questions why and how the Attorney General okayed the contract.
