ARREST BRIAN MUSHIMBA OVER THE FAKE TRAFFIC CAMERAS WITH THE LEBANESE. He’s worth over $1.5 million boasting of buying a $500,000 house in the USA. Extradite him.
GASSING , GASSING , GASSING…….Who was gassing our people? Was is Kampyongo? Was it Edgar? Was it the Chief? Who was it …..Where is the govt which promised to find them? Jack Mwiimbu where are you? Garry Nkombo where are you? You promised that you will fish out the Gassers ? When?
@Mugabe: When did this gassing take place?
This is sad….we expected more reasonable cases than this. Ba ACC you could do better than this.
Do you think you can get points by locking up Chanda because he insulted ACC officers? That’s NOT what Zambians are expecting.
When you can’t find anything else you go for whatever charge you can stick just out of frustration.
They should castrate this baboon and BTW, ACC is as corrupt as lungu and PF.
There has been ZERO convictions since PF were kicked out. How is that even possible?? ACC needs to be restructured and investigated
