It further reveals that the contractor engaged to carryout the works on Residence No.9 Mission Inn Grove was paid a down payment of K24, 919,204 but that as of May 2011, the contractor had not completed the works and had since abandoned the site.

A pathetic attempt at fishing! It’s like looking for black cat in a dark room and not finding it because it is not there! I do not see how Nevers Mumba is involved in all these. Did the mission have an Accountant? Was money misappropriated? No! Misapplied? Debatable! How amateur to release a serious report to a “TABLOID” radio station!

@ alfa chulu I second ur motion, Nevers is full of wrong moves. God must be disappointed with him as much as most Zedians r & he’s going mad. his latest wrong move is to contest MMD (plunderes Paradise) presidency when its very well known that G Kunda is MMD candidate for 2016.

Colleagues, the media has a lot of power in influencing people’s understanding of issues and ultimately their reactions towards such issues. Look at how great men have fallen and countries destroyed because of Western propaganda. Today, what most people know about Gaddaffi is his negative side, because that is the side the Western media showed us.
The point am trying to make is that this topic under discussion – misapplication of funds at Z Mission in Canada, was aired on QFM, and what am wondering is what their interest in doing so was, because out of the Missions abroad, why only pick on that one? Yes there’s been some innuendoes about that mission, but if the idea is to get people to react to some misdeeds, it’s better all imformation is availed to them to enable them objectively analyze. What I mean is that if the intentions of QFM and even Tumfweko are noble and meant to inform the public, they should have obtained and made known the findings at other missions. What matters in this case is not who has misapplied/misappropriated/stolen, but whether it can be proved that a crime has been commited. Zambia chalo chesu, that means we need to be patriotic and protect it for ourselves, our children and their children. Be wary of people spreading half baked information, they can sell the nation just to make a few bucks-Judas Iscariots.
