SATA Says He Owes NO Apology To Swiss ‘GOLD SCAM’ Fugitive

REPUBLICAN President Michael SATA says he has no apologies to make to Dr Nicolae Buzaianu a swiss national in connection with the gold scam which went missing at DEC offices.
The President says he found Dr Buzaianu’s demands unfortunate.
This is contained in a Press statement released by George Chellah, Special Assistant to the President on Press and Public relations
“Dr Buzaianu’s demand for an apology and compensation is completely groundless and is utterly unacceptable for Zambia,” says the President.
President Sata says Dr Buzaianu was at liberty to exhaust all legal avenues available to him.
“Infact, we need Dr Buzaianu to come to Zambia and help with investigations. More details that require his clarifcation are coming out hence the need to have him in person,”says the President.
On October 15, 2011, the President revoked the appointment of Dr Buzaianu as Zambia’s Permanent Representative to UNESCO in Paris, France.
This was after the President disclosed to the nation that Dr Buzaianu, an individual who is on the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) watch-list in connection with the gold scam, flew into the country from Geneva, Switzerland aboard a private jet.
Whilst in the country, Dr Buzaianu met former president Mr Rupiah Bwezani Banda, his son Mr James Banda and former State House press aide Mr Dickson Jere.
Earlier this week Mr.Buzaianu, has distanced himself from what is slowly turning into an increasingly embarrassing ‘Gold-gate’ scandal.
The Swiss national has hired Lusaka lawyer Sakwiba Sikota to defend him in the scandal that has already sucked in former President Rupiah Banda, his son James and a former press assistant at State House, Dickson Jere.
Bozaianu, 42, is demanding US$100M in compensation for defamation.

What nonsense is this? A foreigner comes and steals our money and at the end of the day he demands for compesation. Those Zambian laywers like Sakwiba Sikota representing this conman are very selfish and do not have the interest of the nation at heart.

Abe tole chikala chakwe, na mano yabukabwalalafye. He stole and came around to claim innocence and a compensation; now that evidences are coming out citing to his involvement, he is distancing himself. Did he think Zambians were as dull as RB, the one he used to deal and have his way with? aba akabwamba kwati ka Mpanya.

The gold was worth $1.7 million and yet it was sold for $1.4! Why was it not sold through the London Metal exchange through open bidding. We need more elected leaders like Sata in Africa who can lay it as it is to hell with diplomacy

Bazedi, that GOLD wasnt mined in Zambia. It was just forfeited to the state after it was established in the courts of law that the owners wanted to smuggle the contraband illigally. There are proceedures that are followed when trading at the LOndon Metal Exchange. If you think you can just walk in the the London Metal Exhange and transact then you are living in a ‘fools paradise’ my friend. The normal way to dispose off forfeited contraband is through an auction. If this GOLD wasn’t mined in Zambia and we have even gained SOME million Dollars after the auction, then well done DEC and whoever was involved period…..
