VIDEO: LET THEM POINT AT WHICH DEAL I GOT TO BUILD WHAT I BUILT? ALL THEY HAVE MANAGED TO DO IS TO CRAFT PROPAGANDA AGAINST ME AND MY FAMILY- EDGAR LUNGU
If I were ECL I would keep quiet. How much money did he have when he started off ? Money was put together for him. Total the amounts of his wife and children s properties. Where did that money come from. Sir ba Lungu stop tightening the noose round your neck.
Sometimes I wonder whether this Edgar Lungu is the one who graduated as a lawyer. He himself presided over the law of forfeiture of proceeds of crime and the ACC Act. The burden of proof in these cases is placed on the defendant. It is his wife and children who have to produce receipts showing where the money came from. This is the case worldwide. Even in the US, if you put money in the bank and that money is beyond a certain amount, the bank will report you to the authorities and the authorities will first of all freeze the account until you demonstrate a legal and legitimate source of that money, otherwise it is forfeited to the state. Mrs Lungu went to the US and she was given (ON BEHALF OF THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE) fire tenders. She appropriated them as personal property and resold them to the government. These Zambian politicians and their families do not realise that they could not be given anything if they were not in that office. So, what they receive is on behalf of the Zambian people and should not be personalised.
This man thinks that because he has hidden the sources of the money, he has not stolen.
Mr Lungu,the prohibition and prevention of money laundering Act of Zambia is the law that aims to combat money laundering in Zambia.The law establishes the anti-money laundering authority and the anti-money laundering investigation unit overseeing money laundering activities.The law requires the disclosure of information on suspicious of money.Provides for forfeiture of suspicious moneys or property bought or built using such money.DEC has the mandet to carry out these duties.Jamaica have their own too and South Africa amended theirs in 2017 to meet international standards set by the financial action task force.Your wife and her lawyer failed to satisfy the court on the source of money used to build such a mamoth investment of housing units.No proper records of money transfer to support financial report on transactions.DEC can not show you where the money is missing but it is the responsibility of the accused to show the source of finance.And if you add all financial support you gave to wife, all children it is not commensurate to your earnings in years you worked any where or as President.Dr Kaunda was President of Zambia for 27 years but if you are to evaluate how much all the children of Kaunda and himself are worth you find the Kaundas with almost nothing to show in comparison.But Iam not suggesting the Kaundas are too poor no.In the first place you should have indicated to the court that you are interested in the matter as early as possible and give your submissions.Your status issues were going to be addressed by law.You played a role of a sleeping partner if Iam not mistaken and I ask to be corrected if possible.
Mr. Lungu should just tell us how he made his millions. In the first place, he amended the law after he was caught out in 2016 when his assets moved from K2.5million in 2015 to K23miilion in 2016, within a space of 18 months! He made sure that in 2021 it was not mandatory for a presidential candidate to PUBLICLY declare his/her assets. This was secretly availed to the ECZ.
IF Mr. Lungu is serious about his pleas of innocence, let him publicise the information he submitted to the ECZ regarding his assets and his liabilities in 2021.
He knows that it is not easy to expose his thieving ways because they were conducted in a clandestine manner for obvious reasons.
A lot of Mr. Lungu’s friends and supporters became stinking rich at the expense of the nation which ended up with a huge unsustainable debt as most of the borrowed money ended up with Mr. Lungu’s family and associates.
ECL should have requested to be joined to the proceedings in order for him to have had an opportunity to show the court how he managed to finance all the undertakings legally and in a transparent manner, such as his bank statements.
