The Authentic Advocates for Justice and Democracy has advised Dr. Rodger Chongwe to get his facts right before making pronouncing through the press to avoid misleading the public.
In a document signed by AAID president John Longe and his publicity Secretary Josphat Changwe stated that the UNIP zero option was a document which existed in UNIP circles and the then Party President Kebby Musokotwane acknowledged the presence of the document which Dr. Chongwe wanted to attribute to Dr. Chiluba.
The due stated that Dr. Chongwe implied lack a sound relationship between Dr. Chiluba and the late President Mwanawasa but he should realize that the late president always invited Dr. Chiluba for International functions held in Zambia and that was the reason Dr. Chiluba attended the SADC Heads of States meeting on the Zimbabwean crisis in Lusaka.
They said there was nothing wrong for the current president to invite his predecessors for State functions as the matter was purely handled but protocol officers charged with the responsibility.
The two said Dr. Chongwe should remember that Suresh Desai and Yusuf Badat served in the Chiluba administration despite being Zambians of Asian origin.
They stated that even Dipak Patel went his way when he chose to stand as an independent for the Lusaka Central seat which had nothing to do with Dr. Chiluba as it was a personal choice.
The duo advised Dr. Chongwe to revisit his facts before going public so that he does not mislead and misinform the undiscerning members of the public over the Chiluba -Chongwe issues.
The Duo said the statements raised by Dr. Chongwe were motivated by hatred and aimed at sustaining a smear campaign to undermine the office of the second republican president.

1st again?
Where errbody @?
We should seriously take stock of these NGO s before the country is plunged into chaos.This is obviously an FTJ arrangement like NOCE and ZIMT.There is urgent need that they be regulated
And the syntax errors, gosh?
Zambian NGOs………………..jst who registers these tuntembas?
AAID or AAJD whatever you are, you are just fake! Dr. Chongwe has been around, talking, fighting and trying to be a voice for the voiceless. Where were you when Chiluba was causing havoc to all of us. You had yo tail tucked in! Chongwe is right. CHILUBA (& KALUSHA) are arrogant tricky, stinking thieves!
But you must apreciate they have the facts right
Barotse Bull,
Being objective is the best thing one can ever do. Chongwe might have been around for a long period but that does not mean he should be myopic as regards to Chiluba’s invitation to State functions. Wasn’t Chongwe aware that even Late President Mwanawsa, may his soul rest in peace, used to invite Chiluba to State funtions? How do you link arrogance to Chiluba’s invitation to State functions? Let us not use our emotions to comment on serious national issues.
Job Seekers leave the lawyer alone! Can you imagine a magistrate sitting and eating in a pub with a person who is appearing before his court. Regina Chiluba is in actual fact appearing before the Hon Chief Justice through the magistrate. So in my opinion the Hon CJ should have rescued himself by looking for another seat by asking the protocol man to rearrange the sitting arrangement

Elo yabipisha nomba,mr chongwe should revisit his fats. Yangu umusebanya ba LT naka NGO aka.
Problem is we always focus on th negative.FTJ has med mistks bt he has done a lot of Good things 4 Zambia.Chiluba med me stop quein 4 sugar,he built roads amng many atha thngs.W@ hz Roger Chongwe done??FTJ z th man
I nearly died of laughter to hear Dora say she did not understand what the word “nullity” meant. These graduates UNZA is cooking, completely useless ones. I hope someone told her there is also another legal item called “ignorance of the law is no excuse”, silly “shubria”, all brains are concentrated in her boobs!
Iwe chi Nizee, which good things did Chiluba do? Was it not Chiluba who in 1998 was nearly caught by a crocodile nesting in a pothole off Lumumba road near Government Stores? Apart from sugar, Coca Cola etc he gave shoprite big tax rebates to ship in from my KwaZulu Natal filling stores with stuff you chaps could not afford, there is nothing he ever did for Zambia. I mean, the chap was welded to stealing, even a Mwanza’s wife was stolen and infected with the same vice and god know what else because she no longer looks healthy.
Its sad for a nationa that the whole entire minister of Transport and communication has no clue about the tern nullity. Maybe we should start calling her Dora Nullity Siliya to teach her the meaning in a way that she wont forget again. I wonder whether she know the meaning of Rupiah?
I must say I saw more of personal hatred than speaking for the voiceless. I just don’t appreciate individuals who engages the public for there own battles.I don’t think ba Chongwe is a man worth listening to. I don’t like his languange. For a lawyer that definitely is out. Shame on him Chongwe.

Zambians are endowed with the memory of a chicken. “Uluse u lwalile nkwale” is what will doom this nation. To see people falling over each other to annoint mercy on Chiluba, Tembo, Wezi, Mung’omba, Penza, Ngenda etc at whose behest they all met their demise are turning in their cold graves today. If that stinker comes near me, I will assegai him, one time!
Me too Shaka.
Obviously you can’t see the wood for the tree. Take off your blinkers.
On “The duo advised Dr. Chongwe to revisit his facts before going public so that he does not mislead and misinform the undiscerning members of the public over the Chiluba -Chongwe issues”, I would like to make mention that this is the only way to go. We as a people need to be good listeners as well as people seeking to obtain established facts before we write something unnecessary to the general public world over.
I hope Dr R. Choongwe as well as all of us reading this will take this advice seriously.
“….existed in UNIP circles and the then Party President Kebby Musokotwane acknowledged the presence of the document which Dr. Chongwe wanted to attribute to Dr. Chiluba…” It’s easy to accuse dead people (The late Kebby Musokotwane MHSRIP) since they are not around to defend themselves
The last I was in Lusaka, I observed that there seems to a proliferation of NGOS. In almost every road especially Roads Park you are bound to find an NGO.
I wish Chiluba was Chinese because in China he would have opted to commit suicide before getting executed. Thats how some extremely seroius countries handle corruption cases. In Zambia such cases take years at very high tax payers cost and when convicted most of these chaps appeal their sentences. Our justice system is simply rotten. E.g. why was Funjika (former ZNS commandant) given a suspended sentence because poor health when hundreds of prisoners are dying in prisons – some in remand prisons before their cases are heard. These are serious flaws in our judiciary.
I can c Shaka hz pesono isues with Chiluba.Am nt sayin he dint do anythn wrong lets oso not turn a blind eye on th gud thngs he did.Rmbr tht u cn evn say anythn on LT bcoz of fridom of Expresion brot by FTJ.Hold yo assegai 4th corupt lidaz lft in govt

LT, there are too many kids on here blogging today!
Thanks for reminding me you are truly a MALAIKA.Hope you will help take the blinker off our eyes
Yeah right! Blame it all on the dead. Rodger Chongwe had his facts right and said the truth. You just have to learn to deal with it. Thats the problem with tuntemba NGOs that were set up to support FTJ.
Ah, Shaka or Shark; do you believe Dora meant what she said, that she did not understand the meaning of the word nullity? You can clearly see that she was lying. Firs, Dora is a graduate from UNZA, a journalist and during her time, she might have used that word in some story she did if any, second, she is a former diplomat and now a lawmaker. It beats my mind that she could say that. It was a cheap lie. So bwana Shaka, it has nothing to do with UNZA churning out half-baked graduates. Dora was lying but as someone has indicated, ignorance of the law is no defence, and she knows that
This topic is quite hot on the Internet at the moment. What do you pay attention to while choosing what to write about?
Kadansa! I thought you were dead. You bring back fond memories when you would address us during lunch hour at the post office in Cairo Rd telling us how KK misused the money the British left us. When everybody stood in awe of KK I never understood how you got away with it. Some say KK thought you were mad and your sphere of influence was limited to the post office. If you are dead may your soul rest in peace. It is only now that I realise you were not mad after all. You were telling it as it is.
