Lifwekelo : Max Nkole Leaked Classified State Info

THE Forum for Leadership Search (FLS) has accused former Taskforce on Corruption executive chairperson Max Nkole of leaking privileged information to the Patriotic Front (PF) which he obtained because of his previous position to discredit President Rupiah Banda and the Government.

FLS executive director Edwin Lifwekelo said in Lusaka yesterday that allegations against Universal Print Group of South Africa which PF and its sponsors had been claiming were revealed by Mr Nkole.

Mr Lifwekelo, who was reacting to a story by Mr Nkole in the Sunday Post in which he endorsed PF leader Micheal Sata’s candidature, said the former taskforce chairperson and individuals like Mutembo Nchito had exposed their dishonest behaviour.

He said Mr Nkole had joined hands with the PF leader to try and discredit the Government using information he obtained while he served at the defunct task force on corruption.

Mr Lifwekelo said the dissolution of the task force where Mr Nkole was earning more than US$20,000 per month had depressed him.

“Mr Nkole is a very frustrated man who is broke and now wants to use privileged information to share with PF leader Michael Sata so that they discredit President Banda.

“We know Mr Nkole very well and what he has done is just to expose himself including Mr Nchito by joining hands with the PF to attack President Banda,” Mr Lifwekelo said. He said it was also sad that some people who had been disciplined by the MMD were now running to the PF.

“Most of these people who are now joining PF are not credible because they were either disciplined by MMD or are desperate like former Works and Supply minister Mike Mulongoti and former Local Government and Housing minister Sylvia Masebo,” he said. Efforts to get a comment from Mr Nkole failed as his mobile phone went unanswered.
