The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has observed that allegations of corruption by some senior PF government officials is just a tip on the iceberg.
UPND Deputy Spokesperson Edwin Lifwekelo has told QFM News in a statement that his party has welcomed the arresting of Mwansabombwe PF Member of Parliament Rodgers Mwewa and his wife Anna Mwitwa for abuse of authority.
Mr. Lifwekelo notes that allegations of misappropriation and misapplication of public resources meant for community purpose is undermining service delivery to the public and should worry all well meaning Zambians.
Mr. Lifwekelo says there is need for government to act on rampant misapplication and misappropriation of public funds cited in the auditors general report.
He says this is important if government is to instill confidence in the governance system.
He furthermore notes that corruption is a cancer that must be fought whenever it raises its ugly head.
He says the PF government need to do much more in addressing this cancer by ensuring that culprits are brought to book.
And the UPND has also observed the need to consider making the first lady’s office institutional.
Mr. Lifwekelo says the current republican constitution does not define the role of the first lady besides the executive.
He states that currently First ladies do not have any statutory functions and that funding for the office of the first lady is guess work a situation that gives room for the abuse of the public resources that are likely to be used for political campaigns.
HH and UPND shud be the last to talk about stealing and corruption.But we cant suport thieving
come in what would u tell us things that we are already doing,Pf will be remembered as the only party that fought corruption even its own corrupt Pf members,it had to clean the desease that was left by previous governments,it had to bring people back to the promised land,the real moses of Zambia,the David the samson.it will be a song wen we tell our great grand kids of the men who fought the corrupt rich,the sata,Edgar crew,they will forever be legends and they will be known through out the nation as the PATRIOTIC FRONT
u seem so slow, PF after Sata has no emphasis on corruption, they are maybe dealing this particular case out of reasons that may not meet the eye. PF now has embarrassed corruption especially the time of electing its president for the presidential by elections Lungu. Edgar can never a legend in stopping corruption that is how he came into office. may if Edgar prays for forgiveness from God and makes his confession public and then start afresh. You are the kind of people who are making the whole Zambia suffer by misplacing facts
We are no longer tribes squatting in huts teaching our children that the world is flat and if the weather turns bad that it’s because some god is angry about some bullcrap.
mmmm Ba burning bush then what are we,since we are no more those things,we are civilised? please explain civilization to me,we now have plasma on the walls,with iPads,WiFi around the house and PlayStation in the bedrooms, mmm civilization Iwe,but haven’t u noticed those where simply wen I said the real moses of Zambia it was simply a metaphor? not really him being moses,after all he is sata.I’ll try to speak in Ur local language next time.
Jst wait for colonization of kwacha and its president
M watching u!
If you go on zwd site you will see alot of comments like they re post by different people bloggers and yet it is just one fool changing his blog name each time he makes a posting. A good example is the the @ truth who is also kwati like so and other names am yet to known. Joe Biden and DEZ is one and same fool .
Is Rodgers Mwewa not the man Guy Scott appointed the SG of PF after Davies Mwila was bullied into refusing to accept the post? If he is then this is just but a mere political battle. PF is full of corrupt characters but they only pursue those who fall out of favour.
Your reasoning is not bad. If we can have more of you then may vote wisely nest time
