PF spent K100 million on campaign advertising – witness
A SENIOR Investigations officer at Drug Enforcement commission (DEC) yesterday told the Lusaka magistrate court that Patriotic Front (PF) through its former Secretary General, Davies Mwila sent over K100 million to 50 Media houses in the country for adverts in preparation of the 2021 general elections.
Mr Highgon Chilele, an investigations officer under the Anti money laundering investigations unit told senior resident magistrate Davies Chibwili sitting under the Economic and Financial Crimes court that various media houses got the money from the PF for adverts without signing proper documentations.
Mr Chilele said he received a report from Financial Intelligence Center (FIC) in 2019 alleging that there were suspicious transactions on the account of messers Anna Mwitwa’s account valued at K140million domicile at FNB which was going to the media houses https://dailynationzambia.com/
But is it a problem if pf used that money
Yes it is iwe ka Chikala. Who spends K100m of a poor country’s money on political campaign?
Context is important, how much did the UPND spend? Let’s compare and comment objectively.
Chikala’s
It’s very surprising. I thought PF conducted criminality openly that prosecuting them would very easy. UPND, what really have gone wrong? Look at gassing, no conviction to date,.
UPND were involved in gassing. It was their project.
