MULENGA SATA Says “I Have A Thick Political Skin But This Kind Of RUMOUR Mongering Is Not Good For My Wife. CHIFIRE Should Retract His ACCUSATION Within 48 Hours”

KABULONGA councillor Mulenga Sata has turned the screw on his accuser, Mr Gregory Chifire, asking his lawyers to institute legal proceedings against the man who claims the President’s son has bought two vehicles valued at K1.8 billion.

Mr. Chifire, who owns a non-governmental organisation sympathetic to the opposition Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) called Committee of Citizen (s), has also been instructed to retract his accusations within 48 hours.

Mr Sata is being represented by lawyer William Mweemba. “I want Gregory to substantiate his claims and offer me an unreserved apology within 48 hours,” Mr Sata said in an interview with the Sunday Mail. “I take strong exception about this story because it puts my father, who is fighting corruption, in an awkward position…it is an unnecessary distraction for him which I think must not go unchecked…Mr. Chifire must substantiate his allegations before the law. I am ready to be investigated.”

Mr Sata, a registered engineer with an engineering degree from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the United States, said he was dismayed by Mr Chifire’s allegation.

“I have a thick political skin but this kind of rumour mongering is not good for my wife,” he said, “and more especially my father who has serious national issues to look into not to mention my political career because I am a public elected official myself.”

President Sata says the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) should ask Mr. Chifire to assist them with investigations in the matter and take necessary action if his son is found wanting. President Sata is on record as having said he is “allergic to corruption” and has constantly stated that his anti-graft fight shall spare no-one, including friends and relatives.

President Sata’s call for his son’s probe comes at a time that some opposition MMD leaders have accused his Government of being vindictive and selective. Simon Kabanda, an activist with the Citizens Forum who has radical views on the anti-graft fight, told the Sunday Mail in an interview yesterday he was impressed with President Sata’s latest anti-graft position.

“When the President placed his son, Mr. Mulenga Sata, on the spot, he was showing the country that his resolve to fight the scourge is strong and real,” Kabanda said, “he also showed that he is the one in charge and not his relatives like the case was in the immediate past administration. This is very encouraging in my view and should shut up anyone who thought it was a witch-hunt. It’s now up to investigations officers.”

Mr Sata does not mention his newly acquired cars or how he bought them….does that not strike as unusual if the man is denying the ‘accusations’?

i would encourage this chifire chap to go and attend night school or shibukeni since he flopped terribly in first year at CBU. Be resposible for your rantings because you are now dealing with a UCLA graduate and councillor for kabulonga. All the same wishing you all the best if you have enough evidence.!

Chifire is a model of a typical Zambian psyche that think that humble trades like dog trading cannot yield anything. Pathetic example of a parasitic NGO leader who thinks the way he fell on easy money is the same as those who actually have the money from hard work! Let him answer to his slandering words! I hope he gets bankrupted if he is found wanting.

Young boy, you’ve deceived the nation for too long now with your rouse mouth. Mwana, leader are born and not made, Ba Sata is not yo match neither yo age-mate in politics. Please before we fully open the Pandora box and remind you how you struggled to clear courses like BS 110 just to mention but a few.STOP MAKING NOISE.

BaTumfweko in what state is Sata registered as an engineer? You know there are data bases for registrered engineers ka? If anyone claims to be registered, just check their state records. CA being the hardest to register in, I would give the brother some props if he is a CA PE

With or without Chifire, DEC must move on. They dont need to work on Presidential Ordaz. Wat if he was an anonymous informer would they have investigated the MVs? Police have cracked crimes without having to know the informer. Lets be serious.
