SATA Annoyed With RB’s Purchase Of 2 Expensive State-House Presidential Lexus Vehicles
Republican President, Michael Sata has expressed dismay with the discovery that his predecessor Rupiah Banda purchased two brand new LEXUS motor vehicles at K3.6 billion.
Speaking at a swearing in ceremony at State House this afternoon, President Sata wondered how a head of state would sanction such a flamboyant purchase when so many retirees were not paid their terminal benefits.
“I am very disappointed with my predecessor, Mr. Rupiah Banda. There are two LEXUS vehicles here which he bought at K3.6 billion. They came in by air. Now how can you buy two cars at such a cost when retirees are not being paid? Why give millions of NAPSA funds to foreigners at the expense of the many Zambians who need medicines in hospitals?” asked the President.

At 74 years, RB lived like a spoilt young man!!. No wonder MMD cadres were stealing like it was going out of fashion. Today most MMD big boys are filthy rich with stolen money. Truly the Lord our God heard our cries. Viva King Cobra!!

Mr Hikaumba, you are the last person I expected to talk about salary negatiations for public service workers,when in RB you were quiet. Dont fool us if I were you, I can resign on moral ground as ZCTU president. Please spare us as public service workers we shall fight for our own we dont need your plea. You really disapointed us during RB era.
Gooday
