Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has said that United Party for National Development(UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema should should not think Zambia is nothing without him.
Speaking when she featured on Hot FM’s ‘Hot seat programme’ Ms Nawakwi said that Mr.Hichilema is a ruthless, violent and greedy man determined to obtain wealth at all cost, charging that her experience with Mr.Hichilema depicted a man who was violent, brutal, tribal and lacked respect for his colleagues in the opposition and was unfit to be leader of Zambia.
Ms. Nawakwi further said that Mr.Hichilema lacked humility and regarded everybody else with contempt and reminded Zambians that the UPND leader unleashed violence on her, over political differences they had when 3 political parties, UNIP, FDD and UPND came together in 2006 to form an alliance called United Democratic Alliance (UDA), adding that previous presidents from Levy Mwanawasa, Rupiah Banda, and Michael Sata tried to court him but Mr.Hichioema lacked humility and was full of himself.
“There are people, even in the Bible, who think, when they have money, no one else matters and everyone is useless. This idea of thinking that you are the most intelligent and no one else has brains, I think that is self-defeating”, Ms Nawakwi said.
“HH must learn that building bridges and making relationships is important in politics. Each time UPND makes statements to talk about me it’s either, No Nawakwi is going to be a Minister of Finance for Lungu, No Nawakwi has now defected, I have even been appointed by websites such as Koswe, but this is in their attempt to bring others down, this should stop,” Ms Nawakwi said.
Ms Nawakwi further said that Mr Hichilema should not get angry when Zambians ask him how he amassed his wealth. Ms Nawakwi said that Mr. Hichilema benefited from the privatization assets as a consultant and ended up owning many assets he was entrusted to sale such as those belonging to Lima Bank and that he obtained the house belonging to Lima Bank situated on Serval Road, Kabulonga, from an entity, Lima Bank, that he was privatizing. Ms Nawakwi further said that Mr Hichilema also obtained state ranches that he has tasked to sell, including the sale of Musio-O-Tunya Intercontinental Hotel sold at $6million, a Hotel valued at more than $26million at the time, and became a Board member and part-owner Sun International.
Ms Nawakwi said that Mr.Hichilema is lucky not to have been probed by law enforcement agencies and therefore, should not start to vilify her and saying she was sleeping when the privatization of public assets was going on, adding that Mr. Hichilema should have declared interest in some of the asserts he privatized on behalf of the government.
“He said I was sleeping, thieves come when you are sleeping, that’s why they break in and come with guns. However, the very next day we had finished the transactions on Intercontinental hotel and it had moved to be Southern Sun Hotel, Mr.Hichilema became the chairperson of the new owners isn’t that conflict of interest, what is wrong is that the very next day he became part and parcel of the people who had bought the assets and he didn’t declare that he would have an interest in the Hotel,” Ms. Nawakwi said.
Ms Nawakwi further charged that the conduct of Hakainde Hichilema during the privatization exercise bordered on theft of public resources and that he is lucky he has never been arrested so far. Ms Nawakwi charged that Mr Hichilema should not stretch his luck too far as one day he will be made to account for the theft he allegedly committed.
She said as a Managing Partner at Grant Thornton, Mr Hichilema used his position as an adviser to the Zambian government during the privatization period to enrich himself.
In response to Mr Hichilema’s call that she and other lawyers who participated in the privatization exercise should explain their roles. She said the mere fact that Mr Hichilema sold himself a House in Serval road in Kabulonga and ended up as Chairman of Sun Hotels, the hotel chain that bought off Intercontinental Hotel in Livingstone confirms that he is thief.
“When I was Agriculture Minister, we engaged Grant Thornton as receivership manager, we were expecting a receivership report but we ended up receiving a liquidation report. What Hakainde should explain is how he ended up acquiring a Lima Bank House in Serval road where he lived until he moved to Lusaka East without any public bids for the sale of that property was engaged. That is theft of public funds,” Mrs Nawakwi said.
She added, “secondly, Grant Thornton was engaged to handle the sale of Intercontinental Hotel in Livingstone which became Sun Hotels. We asked Mr Hichilema whether the 6 million dollars offered was a good prize and he told us it was a good price and the following day, he became a Board Chairman of the same Hotel. That is conflict of interest and that is theft.”
The FDD leader said Mr Hichilema should also be questioned over the handing of the RAMCOZ in Luanshya receivership. She revealed that Mr Hichilema’s Grant Thornton was paid 10 million dollars for the RAMCOZ receivership which has not even benefited the local miners. Mrs Nawakwi said because of stealing from the government, Mr Hichilema has now amassed millions of dollars in offshore accounts.
“One day, the law will visit him. He shouldn’t think he is very smart.”
“There are further stories, you talk of RAMCOZ on the Copperbelt, these are issues people want HH to clarify, she said, before adding that the UPND leader should explain at what point he became a millionaire and started to have money in foreign accounts.
“They were the receivers, they should explain to say this is what we did, this is how we got our money and this is where we got the millions from. Prior to privatization how much money did HH have, he should say that, prior to him moving to Sable road where was he living, what was the value of the house he got from Lima bank,how much did he pay,was the bid advertised, was it solicited bid within their firm, all those issues need answers.”
Our in coming running mate for PF Madam Nawakwi!
His Hexellency (HH) is retiring after 7 straight defeats as UPND kaponya president.
Wake up naimwe, the target must be the ones that have brought all economic indicators of our country to negative. I just don’t like quarelsome people, no harm in you going to join Antonio madam.
He is by far popular than you. No relationship what soever. Ichibeleshi…
Thanks madam for clearing President, We now know where his money came from, because HH himself said Nawakwi will give detail on the sale of the mines, Sorry HH you can not be President after stealing our Money.
Very quarrelsome, follow Antonio so that you can speak from the same platform
HH, once you become President, please revisit the carlington maize saga.
U r talking about those small things ur friends in PF say he sold the mines that wat pipo want to hear. KCM Mopani not a house in serval road.
This is nothing but the usual Northern Caucases Tonga bashing bigotry, only clothed in telerine this time!
He has benefited from our suffering. Zambians our up your eyes.
The rumour is that Nawakwi will be picked as running mate so she has to please PF.
Kawalala wa privatization. We have been singing for Commission of Inquiry on privatization but it has been falling on deaf ears. One lesson Akainde should learn is you don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house. We need to know what role Akainde’s friends Dipak Patel and Valentine Chitalu played in all this saga.
Probe for the stolen properties that include ranches, houses and others that were missing in official registers of Lima Bank and Ramcoz and indeed other companies he laid his long fingers on
Nwakwi shut up
HH will not draw oresidential salary, For 5yrs how much will be proughed into gvt coffer ???
This is what ACC should get interested in though it as taken time but umulandu taubola. Arrest the mangwam the cells are empty.
Mulandu sioola
At least for now he offers hope better than anybody else. Infact he is our hope. Edith do u want us to continue with dununa reverse? No, no baby; it is injurious to our wellbeing.
Even if I know both are thieves here Nawakwi has done what others haven’t been doing. Most politicians just accuse HH of stealing and leave it there Nawakwi has laid specific charges that HH should answer. Being the Chairman of an entity you have just privatised is gutter stuff. You are supposed to be criminally charged. HH must answer these charges. Ba LT keep this article for posterity.
There is not a single valuer alive or dead who would have sold the Mosi Oa Tunya as an ongoing business concern, then, for US$26 million. Nawakwi should thus just shut up instead of trying to stir up hatred against HH for his sharp business acumen. She was minister of Finance leading our team in negotiations with Anglo America’s then MD Anderson Mazoka. She then slips a note to him writen in Nyanja asking, and quote: “Imwe sure titandizeni ko”. These Northerners, they know nothing but always want to be in hot positions just for kulimonesha ta! Just wait and see the embarrassment awaiting you with Mvunga, he will make Margaret Mwanakatwe’s shame of falling asleep at the World Bank Consultative meeting in New York and farting out loud while everybody was listening, they had to spray the…
room with disinfectants to kill the nose corroding ordour. Maybe she had just finished eating mbaba zamu New York Sewer lines.
People on the copperbelt who have suffered because of HH will never vote for this demon Tonga.
I agree with my sister nawakwi. If a fellow opposition leader can say such about hh, this clearly shows that what we have been saying is true about him. The man is arrogant and a western stooge who will sale the remaining assets this country has. Come next year I am ending his career for good
Nawakwi was right HH has failed to explain how he got rich.U can’t be rich just after selling assets.I don’t know why Zambians can’t be objective .Why supporting a thief just bcoz he belong to your tribe?Nonsense this should end.Let him explain how much he had before selling assets.UPND supporters stop insulting her.The man can’t rule this country.Please let us not allow such a leader to rule people otherwise Zambia assets will be sold to white people.This man worships whites due to inferiority complex.ACC is useless and should have done it’s work.
Punch to punch Nawakwi has data.She can finish you in seconds ba Bally.No wonder you’re called Iron lady.We need her to be a president of this country.
Nawakwi was 100% right.HH has failed to explain how he got rich.When you ask him it’s insults from him and his supporters.These chaps really you don’t want to know how your leader acquired wealth?Why do u become bitter?I can’t be lead by such a person.I won’t waste my vote on someone who sold Zambian assests.If it were in eaurope or USA this man can’t even speak in public.It’s so shameful to have people soupporting a thief just bcz he is their tribe.Nonse—–se
Edith Nawakwi has all this evidence against HH so why is she not suing HH for theft?HH has even offered a House as a reward to anybody who sues him successfully in Court for stealing Govt Assets. So Edith Nawakwi should go ahead and sue HH in a Court of Law. It’s now more than 25 years since the Mines were privatised by the MMD Govt and Edith was the Minister of Finance. Alex Chikanda was a Minister in the MMD Govt. Edith Nawakwi and Alex Chikwanda should explain to the Nation how the Mines owned by the Govt were allegedly sold by HH. They should explain who sold the Mines and who benefited from the Sale and when? If Edith Nawakwi and Alex Chikwanda fail to explain the Sale of the Mines then we know they benefited from the Sale of Mines. Since Edith Nawakwi has alleged theft by HH…
Nawakwi was 100% right.HH has failed to explain how he got rich.When you ask him it’s insults from him and his supporters.These chaps really you don’t want to know how your leader acquired wealth?Why do u become bitter?I can’t be lead by such a person.I won’t waste my vote on someone who sold Zambian assests.If it were in eaurope or USA this man can’t even speak in public.It’s so shameful to have people soupporting a thief just bcz he is their tribe.Nonse—–se–ee

This is what we have been reduced to Zambians, when the health minister is busy stealing and a young doctor dead because of lack of medication. We just heard a Uganda company accuse the whole government of not paying them for medicine delivered. The Kwacha is the worst perfoming, gold is being given away, ignorant chaps like bowman are getting super rich beyond what their pay check slips and cadres are terrorising innoncent people and we should listen to Nawakwi where was she all this time . Her rumbling is just a reminder that she is a failed politician like biden who had been in power with nothing to show forth.
Quoting this line from Nawakwi,…but this is in their attempt to bring others down, this should stop,” Ms Nawakwi said. I expected her to be exemplary but 99% of the article is exactly what she seem to preach against. ZED politics
It seems Nawakwi’s advances on HH Failed lamentably and is still regretting not to have become Mrs HH … Kikikiki
She can’t believe a rich man like him can be so Principled to turn down free offers … Kikikiki
Madam Nawakwi’s, politics of name calling only expose the miserable person you are. Moreover, there is nothing left to destroy in Zambia. ECL has already done the job. So just chill and concentrate on your miserable Legana sausage business. You are still welcome though to buy beef from Bally. Stop choking with hate and jealousy! Instead, rejoice in people’s success stories! Why Chikubaba so Nawakwi???
Edith Nawakwi is really trying hard to stay relevant in Zambian politics.Another PF surrogate attacking an opposition leader.
FDD under Christon Tembo
2001 Presidential elections – 229,000 votes
2001 Parliamentary seats – 12
FDD under Edith Nawakwi
2016 Presidential elections – 24,149 votes
2016 Parliamentary seats – 1
There you go…..Numbers don’t lie.
PF are looking for a needle in haystack. HH this HH that,…you guys are obsessed by the man.

Nawakwi, surely all these years you have been sleeping? What has woken you up now? If you have any credible evidence against HH, why not take this to institutions which will deal with your concerns? Any reasoning person knows that you want to attack HH without any basic evidence in order to be more attractive to PF. You are even accepting that you bangled the privatization processes but want to blame HH for decisions taken and accepted by the government where you had a senior position. Stop irritating normal Zambians!!
Let me repeat myself. HH was running a management consultancy and accounting firm which government itself approached to help with work during MMD government’s privatisation programme. Whatever money was paid to HH was paid to the firm which had employees to and office rent to pay. HH got a salary from the firm and any surplus was paid to partners at the end of each financial year. Both these were subject to tax which was paid promptly to the government in which Edith Nawakwi was serving. HH invested in cattle ranching and luckily for him, meat consumption grew among Zambians and the business grew as the economy entered a period of growth. That’s all HH did. There were certainly more people who got government work through the privatisation programme. It’s not HH’s business to know wht…
But who passed the resolution to move Lima Bank from receivership to liquidation? A receiver manager has no power to do that.
Everything that Edith Nawakwi said about the Great Mwene Mutapa is hereby adopted as my own, what more can one add
Fellow Zambian!
The question we should ask is ” are these areas Nawakwi has touched true or false??
As Zambians do we need answers??? If we are not careful, he shall jump from a hot pan to a furnance. Watch my words.
NAWAKWI PLEASE SHADE MORE LIGHT ON THIS CORRUPT REGIME THE PF,ONE MAN IN PF IS NOW WORTH $16MILLION IN THE YEARS PF HAS BEEN IN POWER! IS IT NORMAL?
Hahaha! Mrs Edith Naaakwi Carrington. Hard core thief and I know her very well. We used to do everything including casual se.x together.
This is a woman who authorised an upfront payment of $7million to Carlington for maize ? to mitigate the hunger in Zambia. That maize was never delivered and she shared the money with Carlington. All those trucks and millions she has were stolen from public coffers; it’s not from the pigs or chibuku she sells because that is a cover! We need prosecutors. HH never worked for the Govt like her who was a Minister and actually stole and records are there for everyone to see.
The big question is: Why didn’t the tough MMD administration of Levy Mwanawasa prosecute HH if he was really involved in illegal deals that made him rich? Even today PF is free to take him to court to account for his wealth. Umulandu taubola
Thank you for the info Edith. So what next? Will you report him to kabulonga police station mama? After you have finished him if you will manage come bag and tellnus about a drunken lawyer who swindled a poor widow. Inform us about the fire tenders. Tell us who sent the villagers in Mwinilunga and owns a gold mine? Inform us if a certain girl and a certain katondo criminal had a security firm b4 2015 and now they grabbed a contract from a poor widow and started offering security services to Mulonga H2O. Inform us how people that had nothing b4 2016 could now own the major pharmaceutical production in Zambia. When you are done mama tell us about the fire tenders. Give us a signal mama. Changa baseka uwacelwa. Whats the difference with those that are cleansed by the Magistrate
With Antonio gone to PF and Nawakwi following in Antonio’s footsteps, I wish to make a legal petition to the Registrar of Societies to deregister FDD and all such surrogate little noise-making and time-wasting parties. It will reduce the cost of running Elections in the long run especially with our dying Economy!
HH has offered to build any one a house to come up and convict him over the privitisation issue especially the sale of mines.Up to now still No one especially people like Nawakwi who were in MMD govt by the time the mines were being sold. This is hell bent to tarnish HH’s reputation because as heard before this Nawakwi is so possesed to be choosen as a Pf running mate for the position of vice President. Besides all they want is mediocricy leadership and corrupt elements to continue looting Zambia’s money.
Kabwalala kabwalala kabwalalala uyouyo kabwalalala
NAWAKWI,WHAT KIND OF WEED DO U SMOKE? MAYO UBUHULE MWAMUPESHYA AMANA?WHORE.U ARE TRYING HARD TO DO A PHD. WE,WANT A CARLINGTON REPORT OPENEND IWE HULE.
Nawakwi, it is easy to see through you. Just start campaigning for your position of number 2. However, be watchful of the team you have joined, balimbe size when it comes to pushing aside anyone if not coming with the numbers they are looking for.
If she had an info him about privatisation, do you think she would waste time to take him off the largest opposition position by taking all she has on him to investigative wings?
She just doing the usual poli tricks.
Nawaki, keep campaigning for that position. Otherwise, you have nothing to offer. Your track record as a Minister of Finance speaks negative growth and the maize issue
DEAR UPND,
NAWAKWI HAS MADE SPECIFIC ACCUSATIONS. IN THE INTEREST OF THE MAJORITY OF US NEUTRAL ZAMBIANS, PLEASE RESPOND ON A POINT BY POINT BASIS.
THANK YOU.
Where can I obtain documentation on privatisation? We need to put this matter to rest. My fellow Zedians let’s READ. Let’s effing READ!!!! We cannot go on peddling half-truths and repeating lies until they sound familiar enough to become truths. This woman has resurfaced after her usual hibernation to repeat the lies and half-truths strategically. Enough must be enough guys. Draw a line now.
I vowed in all elections we previously had and have vowed in the coming 2021 election never to waste my vote on HH and his UPND. Not only do I know HH so well the way Edith Nawakwi has explained his character, I also know many UPND leaders who are unfit to vie for political office for many reasons. It is true, HH is a greedy character who would not mind acquiring even more at the expense of many poor Zambians. The way he accumulates land even displacing poor people says a lot about him. He simply has no regard for those who have not the riches he has. He is not just greedy but also ruthless. It would be a terrible mistake for Zambians to vote for him.
MMD Govt privatised the mines some 30years ago. Edith Nawakwi and Alex Chikwanda were in the MMD Govt as Ministera and are still alive. If they have evidence that HH privatised the Mines and sold Govt Assets let them sue HH for theft of Govt Assets. Its now 30 years after the Mines were privatised so what are Alex Chikwanda and Edith Nawakwi waiting for? They are falsely accusing HH for a Crime he didn’t commit. What are they hiding? Let them sue HH now and stop him from standing in 2021 as a Presidential Candidate. Chikwanda and Nawakwi should have the courage to sue HH for committing these alleged Crimes. Bring it on Edith and Alex!
So where should be placing more weight as concerned citizens between: fire tenders that were costing $1m each but insured at $250k each, overpriced ambulances, our mukula logs abandoned in Malaysia with no trace of owner, 48 houses that built themselves, gassing where innocent lives were lost, burning of markets, instant millionaires where K2m is now being seen as seeking shopping allowance for some when they can not construct any single correct sentence in English AND HH privatization of the mines? HH worked according to agreed and signed TOR. If the client was cheated, he/she should have sued then. Edith baby, u are a cry baby. Your mataba case needs to be reopened.
We do not expect Nawakwi to say anything good about HH. It’s a well known fact her party is surrogate of PF.
what a monkey in maize field
No man is clean, as a crisp sheet of paper! We all have vices. Mark my words, every story has a history, so does this one. You only have to peel off a few layers and the truth will reveal itself; then you can make a choice; to either take heed, or ignore everything. Whatever your decision, at least, you will have been informed, & therefore fully aware of what you are dealing with.
Iyeeh this lady sure. Keep yo jealosy under wraps my lady. Its not that hh thinks he can do beter for zambia its the pipo of zambia who think hh is the best candidate. U ar many of u presidents in opposition and in govt bt it looks like the majority of zambians ar for hh. U mean Edith u ar so blind and u cant notice zat surely. A person doesn’t chose themselves. Shame on u edith who was saved from poverty by rich Mr hambulo
So HH is accused of all these things and is never arrested. What do you take us for. Madam, can you please use your energy wisely and that is to tell your friends in government to sort out the economic mess. Your fight with HH will never put nshima on the table of the Zambians, we are not interested.
When you ask the fool himself to explain how he become rich…Alaaa the fo.ol has failed to explain, On an interview in South Africa he failed to explain, On Camnet tv he failed to explain…Conman hh get lost.
Let hh sue Nawakwi alot of pipo have called him privatisation thief and he has never Taken those who accuse him to court.It shows that he is afraid of opening a pandora box.For sure he fails to explain How he got rich over night.
NAWAKWI CAN YOU TELL US MORE HOW YOU WENT AWAY WITH A YOUNG BOY NOT OF YOUR AGE BUT YOU CALLED HIM UMWAUME MWAUME? SOMEONE’S HUSBAND? SHUT UP PEOPLE’S MIND HAVE SWITCHED OFF FROM PF TO UPND/NDC PACT CHAPWA.
Nawakwi is a liar! HH sue her for calling you a thief. Let her prove in court of law that you are a thief. Waiting patiently.
Tough tested lady. I listened to your whole interview. Am impressed and good that u not shaken. Only thing HH knows to do is sue and not politics. He is not a politician
H² depiction as a man who was violent, brutal, tribal and lacked respect for his colleagues in the opposition and was unfit to be leader of Zambia is the best characterization of this heartless, merciless and gullible sodomite.
Thieving characters like h² have extremely dirty hands with deaths of Miners who wallowed in abject poverty because h² is a due stealer – heartless thief with his corrupt and filthy hands.
A kleptomaniac punk. Yak! Suntwe uyu. Munyama.
ELYO LWANYA. “IF YOU LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE, DONT THROW STONES” OR “IF YOU LIVE IN A GRASS HOUSE, DONT STORE THRONES”. THESE MUST BE QUESTIONS THAT HH SHOULD BE FACED WITH IN A DEBATE WITH EDITH. HH LIKES PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES. EXCEPT THAT THE ECL GROUP FEARS SUCH. SO IT IS TRUE THE MAN SOLD THE ASSETS CHEAPLY SO THAT HE COULD BUY THEM. JUST IMAGINE IF SUCH A MAN BECAME PRESIDENT. GOD HELP US. WE ARE SURROUNDE BY SUCH A CLOUD OF THIEVING PRESIDENTIAL-ASPIRANTS EVEN IN THE OPPOSITION.
SPILL THE BEANS MAMA. AND LET HH GO TO COURT. ESPECIALLY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT WHERE HE INSULTED THE JUDGES. ANY WAY SUCH CRIMINAL MATTERS ARE NOT HANDLED THERE.
HH has had enough of making wild accusations of others on corruption but he forgets that what he did to become damn rich can be prosecutable. Nawakwi put him in the right place
Forget about our Vote Mr. HH. People are suffering on the copperbelt because of You, Your money will vote for you.
One of his lawyers bought a Lima House. We know where this house in Lusaka is. Pressure me and I will reveal
Her characterization of HH as” man who was violent, brutal, tribal and lacked respect for his colleagues in the opposition and was unfit to be leader of Zambia” is very accurate. I know a former UPND member, a Southerner who was pretty close to HH, who gave me more or less the same description of HH as Nawakwi.
Zambia naipwa zoona….are we sure we even debating what Nawakwi was saying….really…to say the truth PF is no party to entrust with more years to rule….and what Nawakwi did is pure hatred for HH…..and she never gave herself as an alternative….meaning she wants PF to continue under the same leadership….what’s her interest….coz any well meaning person can’t go with the current leadership of PF….she actually sanctioned their continued looting…like its ok….So long you in government you will forever be labeled Corrupt….and really that put me off with all her rantings…….We indeed domed as a nation…we ain t going anywhere….tulifipuba fya masengo!
No matter how much you sing privatisation…that song has no meaning now..just the same way you say abrogating the Barotse agreement is old news..so since those thing’s are water under the bridge..how fairs the Zambian economy today?..still looking forward to 1 million jobs..I wonder when some people are making certain declarations if they really make use of their brains..
Nawakwi, while you have the platform tell the nation who kept the keys for Chiluba’s presidential suite at Intercontinental. I think what you did in there is also good to share with others.
Ms Nawakwi! Do you have to sink so low in the hope of being a running mate? You have had your time in politics. By the way, you are holding on to fdd illegally.
Remember the saying, “Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones.” Your wardrobe is full of corruption and scandal skeletons. The maize being the high light and you have failed to explain your involvement despite demands from the Zambians.
Can you go to a convention?
Hibernation expired so early!!! She normally become active few weeks before general elections.
Supreme leader HH of the UPND who has hidden the privatisation loot in the paradise papers because of his greedy and bitterness has managed to hoodwink his supporters who are in group think mentality has been exposed and only UPND sycophants and zealots and enemies of progress will continue supporting the sadist…
People can you also ask how Edgar Chagwa Lungu has become rich without owning a business?
Nawakwi has no credibility, remember she is a husband snatcher.
What is Nawakwi angry about that she should be all over ranting incoherently! The questions I would love Ms. Nawakwi to answer are whether HH was a government official that participated in deliberations reaching a decision to sell the mines or was delegated by his employer/company Grant Thornton to help evaluate the assets the MMD government wanted to sell? In making the evaluation did HH or his company “order” the MMD led government what price to sell the assets in this case the mines? Ms. Nawakwi and a horde of others working for government had the final say! Mukusabaila she gives an example of an opinion she sought from HH as to whether an offer of $6 million offered was a fair price, she wanted to have an idea on fairness of the offer and in his opinion HH thought it was but he did…
contd….. he did not tell Ms. Nawakwi to let go of the asset at the $6 million offer! She has woven herself into many other accusations as an angry dumped lover yet she was in the government leadership that had all the power to rein in HH or bring him before the courts of law for any impropriety! Now she wants to talk wildly without clarity to sow more seeds of hate and somewhat pacify her incompetence during negotiations for assets disposal! Let’s face it, the UNIP government passed on to the MMD a less corrupt system as KK did not entertain any form of corruption, that’s why with impunity Lusambo has the audacity to call UNIP leadership as “stupid”! Corruption got birthed under MMD and Ms. Nawakwi has the Carlington Maize procurement which went hush hush thus because she hates one…
Nawakwi don’t forget maize scandle. Why don’t you talk about PF who have stolen. Fire tenders, 48 houses, Mukula trees, the list is endless. Now I know why your fellow women can not support you.
contd….. because she hates one HH let her anger and, hate wherever it emanates from not blind her! This HH has never had the privilege of serving in public office to command power as Ms. Nawakwi has had that singularly he is vilified as an architect of all failures by both UPND and PF! She is friends with the PF leadership and if she claims she has data against HH for all she is accusing him I am sure that for anything that would remove HH from the political landscape, PF would be indebted to her for assistance and reward her immensely! She has annihilated FDD and knows that her leadership is not growing the FDD in any way that for most Zambians FDD is an after thought which resurrects to sow discord among opposition parties. Who decided the value of the price tags that were placed on…

The money she got from lungu after selling ka Antonio mwanza ANA Zambian citizen on LT to PF is now finished…..
Pliz Ba HH sue Nawakwi,Tayali and Lusambo what are you afraid of.
The question is who sold or privatised the Mines? The answer is very simple. The MMD Govt led by the late President Chiluba sold the Mines. Edith Nawakwi was the Minister of Finance when the Mines were sold. Instead of beating about the bush, Edith Nawakwi should tell the Nation the truth and explain her Role in the Privatization of the Mines. Edith Nawakwi alleges HH sold the Mines. If so why hasn’t Edith Nawakwi taken HH to Court for the last 30 years. Edith Nawakwi is being dishonest in this issue. Perhaps HH should consider suing Edith Nawakwi for defamation. She is wrongly accusing HH of selling the Mines when in fact she is the Culprit. Edith Nawakwi and Alex Chikwanda should come clean on the Privatization of the Mines. Period.
This lady must tame her tongue. Let Mr Hambulo advise her not to take things personal with his brother HH. Married woman must be sober and if she has an knowledge of HH’s illegal act .Let her report Him to the police or lodge a complaint to the magistrate.that is the most sensible thing to do on earth. The way she reported the legana libel to the police was the wisest decision…. I dont believe in street talk of accusing others As a lawyer., i hold the legal principle of innocent till proven guilty by a court of law.
My appeal to Madam Hawaii go to Court. Ask Tutwa , i knocked him down in court and he humbly coceded9
The ACC should investigate all those involved in the privatisation of national asserts built by UNIP. When we talk about privitisation, Hakaivotela Humwine quickly says he was not part of the privitisation of the mines. Privatisation did not just involve the mines but a wide range of companies which HH stole from and nowclaims to be very rich from stealing. Zambians HH is far worse than Chiluba + Sata + Lungu combined in terms of stealing.
Sorry I am not getting it. What is the question Nawakwi was answering?
HH cannot sue anyone who calls him a privatisation thief because that is what he is. The records are there to show. The unfortunate part is that we have a lot of thieves who don’t want this information out in the open. HH just sit but and enjoy you ill gotten riches before your mouth lands you in prison.
Those who are claiming HH could not have stolen because he was not in government are being shallow in thinking. Government thieves work with cartels. During Chiluba’s MMD government assets were shared. Where is privatisation chief Valentine Chitalu (a close friend to HH)? He knows what happened because he was the chairperson. There was no way the Chiluba govt could prosecute HH even if he stole. He was part of the team. Then came Mwanawasa he was concerned about proving that he was steak and not cabbage. Under his rule, the people who benefited from the anti corruption drive were not in government !
She’s hit where it pains the deads alot I can tell y’all.
This kind’a reality really only the normal can see through h²’s crookedness and thievery and heartlessness and selfishness and unfitness for office and insensitiviness and spookiness and evil and corruptness and unpresidentialness and inhumaneness.
God, who does that??
The debate could be getting too hot. When opposition political leaders engage in canvassing for support in future elections, they do their best. They sincerely believe that the best will the the best winner. Every individual is important. Every individual is both indispensable and dispensable. It is unfair to make allegations of fraud, corruption, theft or other forms of financial crimes using the media instead of filing the report at ACC, DEC or OP. Take time to denounce opposition political leaders . Take time to discredit opposition political leaders. Take time to engage in a debate together and allow the viewers to choose the side to support.
Battle of the minds.
EN beat the hell out’a h² in a debate of minds. Governmentally EN is more experienced than kleptomaniac h².
Running a business cannot be equated to running Government.
H² failed the moment he stole from Zambians.
Like a gal child left at in a custody of an adult male, h² pounced on our assets in the most detailing manner and defiled our virgin assets.
May his last days of his life be miserable entirely. May graves of unpaid miners who cried endless tears and died of poverty during the this merciless gullible h²’s spearheaded privatization continuously haunt his path.
The Election season has arrived. That’s why Edith Nawakwi has woken from deep slumber to viciously attack HH. The best form of Defence is attack. Edith Nawakwi knows that she as the then Minister of Finance sold the Mines during the Privatization process under Chiluba.Instead of taking full Responsibility for the Privatization of Mines, Edith Nawakwi is passing the back to HH who was not even in Govt Employees at the time. Edith Nawakwi by attacking HH is hoping to endear herself to ECL so that she can be adopted as a Running Mate in the 2021 Elections. Nawakwi is desperately lying to gain Political favours from ECL. Edith Nawakwi should clear her name on this Privatisation issue and stop using HH as a Scapegoat. HH should just sue this pathological liar for defamation.

H² only needs to repent and pay back Zambians not the presidency. Far from it.
Zambians, we have heard what Nawakwi has alleged. What needs be done is report to ACC or sue H H. As Zambian we have suffered hugely from lack of effective governance issues.
Secondly, Nawakwi was a senior government minister who over saw some assets she now alleges were on offer for sale or privatisation. She was in a more powerful position then to monitor and ensure all sales and liquidation processes were beneficial to Zambians. So, what was her role as minister. How can a private individual be more influential in a government driven program. Who was issuing instructions and how were they being implemented. Government of the day and it’s ministers owe Zambia an explanation. Why come out today, what has happened. Do not take Zambians for docile to be cheated repeatedly.
Edith be reminded that had it not been vote manipulation, UPND won the elections in 2016..
Getting under 1% of the national vote is pretty impressive!

“We were told by advisers, who included the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that for the next 20 years, Zambian copper would not make a profit. [But, if we privatised] we would be able to access debt relief, and this was a huge carrot in front of us, We had no option,” said then Minister of Finance Edith Nawakwi.#1999
Just from reading Francis Kaunda’s book: Selling The Family Silver on his chronicles during the Privatization of the Mines.
Nawakwi is framing an innocent person to hide her misdeeds during the Privatization Process. Unfortunately, Zambians are too lazy to read facts for themselves. They will believe anything. Remember how Zambians killed innocent people on mere suspicion of gassing without verifying facts. Zambians will believe Nawakwi’s lies on HH…
HH tell the nation how you got your money. What s there to hide? If you wanna be president you should trust the electorate and tell them everything
Kleptomaniac h² was in the thick of it. What are you yapping about?
And that is how you lost my vote madam.
