Government says there will be a lot of malpractices exposed at the Lusaka City Council after investigations.
Chief Government Spokesperson Lt. General Ronnie Shikapwasha says it is just in order that the investigative wings probe the alleged reports of illegal land allocations in order to establish the substantive truth.
Lt. General Shikapwasha has urged the opposition Patriotic Front not to panic but allow for smooth investigations into the matter.
Lt. General Shikapwasha was speaking in an interview with ZNBC news in Lusaka on Saturday.
The Minister has challenged PF Spokesperson Given Lubinda who is also Chairperson for the African Parliamentarians Against Corruption to resign from his position for not coming out truthfully on the reported illegal land allocation at the local authority.
And Lt General Shikapwasha has accused the PF led Lusaka City Council of misapplying the 10 billion kwacha Government released to clear the drainage system in the city.
Lt. General Shikapwasha says the council has failed to provide the necessary social amenities to people despite Government releasing funds for the purpose.
He said most of the drainage systems in the city remain uncleared while several roads which should have been worked on have not been attended to.
Meanwhile Local Government Deputy Minister Moses Muteteka has warned council officials that his ministry will not hesitate to report any officer involved in misapplication of funds.
Mr Muteteka says any officer whose name will appear in the audit report for misapplication of funds will be reported to Police for prosecution.
Mr Muteteka says Government is conducting audits on various funds that are released to councils such as Constituency Development Funds.
He was speaking in an Interview with TV 2 News today-Saturday.

Bullsa muleikalafye….you have lost direction with yo masters rupi and red lip. Muleya this yr Donchi kubeba
And what is going on in Chongwe and Kalulushi councils? a lot of corruption that you sit on. unprincipled men, i would be ashamed if i was your son because you don’t have morals and all your govt fights is not more than just political enemies. If the govt was interested in having councils run smoothly why not investigate all the councils and audit them. anyway you can deceive only small minded people like yourselves
Lazo ni Lazo and we all know who the Chief Lazo is
How about the scams at ECZ, and Ministry of Health? Any comment Honourable Big Hooter? Of course no comment because you are dull. You cannot walk and fart at the same time…
# 4 did you mean big nanos “chimona”?
PF donch kubeba how you steal and mismanage councils.
This is sheer politiking. How many scams has the office of the auditor general unearthed and how may of these have been acted upon by the Govt? Right from the time of Levy, very few of the scams exposed by AG’s office were acted upon. If PF councillors are guilty let’s see action being taken aginst them. Akuna matata. However, if the UNIP/MMD govt is using such matters to de-capaign the opposition, it simply will not work. Talk about the London judgement, ZAMTEL sale , removal of Windfall Tax- there are more scandals in this UNIP-led MMD than anyone can count. This year change will came whether it’s through the PACT of PF or UPND!
Didi this man read the Auditor General’s report? What will it take for these dumb people to realize that they are the ones who have made councils to be dysfunctional? Probably these guys think they are untouchable and think that Kabonde and GK will protect them. What happened to Kabonde case of the undelivered vehicles? What happened to Thandiwe’s Ghost Worker case? What happened to Zesco fibre issues? What happened in the arrest of a 92 year old old old man for treason? What happened in the Chalwe threats on Nawakwi? What happened on the FBZ saga of single sourcing without tender board being involved? Isn’t the list of such RB misdeeds longer than Cairo Road? Speaking of Cairo, who thought change will come? Eat today Shikapwasha, you might be homeless tomorrow.
Because its PF run they want to publicize investigations? Pick the log out of your own eye!
Is this clown still around. Kabwa

Zed – Plus Mansa(MMD) where salaries have been diverted
Big nose should audit MMD run councils too.Are they scared of what might come out?What about the allegations that led to the dismissal of former ECZ Director, Dan kalale chief rigger?Are they going to investigate?Are they ready to audit the ECZ? what a joke that we have for a government!
This false pastor is so dull in his head. What other Audits can b be there than what Office of The Auditor General has unearthed? What about the ECZ kalale theft? What about the Kalulushi MMD run council land saga? What about the Mansa MMD run council where money for the workers has been diverted?
The list is endless. How come you are quick to investigate PF than yourselves?
Mmm, false paster shikapwasha, no matter how inspid you propanganda against PF is, this year 2011 MMD kuya beble.
NONSENSE.
Ba Reverend Shikapwasha, this is hurting to us your followers in christianity. If you can not be fair and apply fair justice then we are going to start doubting if God is a God of fair justice.
There is a lot of bad audit reports from the MMD controlled councils, that has been reported by the Auditor General’s office but Zambians have never heard you condemn those MMD controlled. Is this fair justice of shielding criminals? NO ba reverend, do not be deceived!!!
Please do not destroy our faith in the Lord. Are you a fake Reverend, a wolf in the lamb? If possible take up another ministry where you can’t tell a lie to cover the MMD bad governance. Not this ministry of Broadcasting of lies.
#1,6 soon u ll stop using the ward donch kubeba i say so coz RB he ll be in state house up 2 2016.hooooooooooo!
in MMD the big problem which is Mr nyama soya is also a thief so no one director us zambia:((:((
Lubinda cannot come out fully against land corruption at LCC because he is involved. We have been told he has some plots in the girlfriend’s name who has been mentioned working for the airport. Why not probe him(? ) and the plots involved are many !
