KATELE, KAVINDELE Ready To Shame RB

Former Vice-President, Enoch Kavindele, who was on a campaign trail with former president Mr. Rupiah Banda, has called for a financial probe on all former senior ministers and MMD officials to be investigating on suspicions that they looted national resources.

Kavindele, who was hoping between Banda’s official planes and helicopters during the last election, said that President Michael Sata should be supported in his fight against corruption.

Speaking to The Sunday Post, Kavindele said there was no person who was above the law.

“If government is going to arrest them that is fine. Why I would I defend people who have stolen from the poor people of Zambia”. He said.

He claimed that he had a difficult relation with the MMD and only came to help in the campaigns in the last action because Banda asked him.

“He was Republican President. To have declined his invitation would have amounted to insubordination.” He justified.

Dr Katele Kalumba

Many accused Kavindele of joining the campaign trail to seek political favours and save his ten year old railway contract that was designed to link Solwezi and Chingola but has never taken off. Kavindele has had this contract cancelled twice and he has failed to pay for pre-requisite fees such as the US$100,000.00 for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) with ECZ.

Joining the calls for a probe, Former Finance Minister and former MMD national Secretary, Dr. Katele Kalumba has called for a probe of former leaders to justify the huge costs spent in the last elections. Speaking to The Sunday Mail, Katele demanded from the party leadership to explain its source of funding.

He wondered how the heavily indebted and cash strapped party had accumulated and displayed so much wealth in the last elections.

Kavindele and Katele join other officials from the former ruling party who are airing strong views against the MMD leadership and demonstrating opportunistic posturing.
