President Michael Sata has with immediate effect dropped Rodgers Mwewa and Ronald Chitotela as deputy ministers of Agriculture and Labour respectively for being investigated by the ACC for misuse of public funds.
President Sata made the announcement this morning shortly before a caucus meeting involving Cabinet Minister and PF members of parliament (MP) at state house.
The dropping of the two comes after Vice-President Dr Guy Scott’s revealed in Parliament on Friday that the Anti Corruption Commission had started investigating Chitotela and Mwewa for misuse of public funds after being cited in the Auditor General’s report.
Chitotela is an MP for Pambashe while Mwewa is for Mwansabombwe..
Mwewa is also married to suspended Permanent Secretary in charge of Administration at Cabinet Office Anna Mwitwa-Mwewa.

DISMISSAL OR SUSPENSION?
The President simply dropped or suspended the duo as investigations continue so that they HAVE ENOUGH TIME to CLEAR their names.

RIGHT,THIS MEANS THAT IF THEIR INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED, THEY CAN BE REINSTATED.

And Geoffrey Mwamba,Winter Kabimba,Silvia Masebo (the tribunal),Rda, Bob Sichinga and many others involved in corrupt allegations. The fight against corruption is very selective. Investigate the purchase of Ratsa Mechanized fitness machines because those machines are meant for brand new vehicles after manufacturing but why go ahead ? Some one wanted chekeleko

No wonder GBM, KABIMBA, SICHINGA, MASEBO en CHIKWANDA re precisely best described as BIG FIVE…. They are untouchable. firing them wud bring much more confusion in this country. Its hard to tek such a bold decision to fire these ministers. A los will be bigger than a gain. Mr. President just sit them down en mek dem understand yo vision. I doubt if GBM can succumb to pressure of temptation. He is childish en a pretender except that he helped Michael financially. Watch the space as drama unfolds towards 2016….I trust Micheal alibabelenga kale. He knows wher to hammer en waits for the right time. Micheal seems like he doesn’t ve patient bcoz of his hash outlook well he shudve bn the most patient president in dealing with pipo.

Those Wynter and GBM were acquitted, therefore there is no need of opening unnecessary wounds.
