THE Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has cautioned Mporokoso Member of Parliament Brian Mundubile regarding the manner in which K1.5 billion road construction contracts in Northern, Eastern, Western, and Central provinces were awarded between 2014 and 2020.
The ACC today summoned Mr Mundubile for questioning in relation to an ongoing investigation.
In a statement, ACC Acting Head of Corporate Communications Chilufya Chisanga said the Commission has since recorded a warn-and-caution statement from Mr Mundubile concerning the manner in which the road construction contracts in the named provinces were awarded to companies in which he has an interest.
“The contracts were awarded between 2014 and 2020 at an estimated value of over K1.5 billion. Further details in this matter cannot be provided at this time as investigations are still ongoing,” Ms Chisanga said.
Am not a fan of Hon Brian Mundubile, but this is wrong. Very Wrong.
If the Mporokoso had some transgressions, surely this should have been attended to years. But Hakainde’s government went for the Innocent Hon Nixon Chilangwa and Hon Ronald Chitotela.
This Zambia is very Disgusting.
Remember that it is his friend and political ally Dr. Chishimba Kambwili is the whistlebroweron these cases. In a circulated video where there was a hot up with Kashishi Kambwili vowed to finish Mundubile over these contracts he alleged were irregular. His threats were strong and damaging hence the LEAs taking interest . Who would blame the STATE ?
But you heard it for yourself what Kambwili said about Mundubile after all mulandu suola. Does it mean vying for a political office is an insulation from our criminal activities. If that is the case then everyone who offends will take that stance.

Bad timing and own goal scoring this UPND govt!! You cannot selectively bring cases and use them as a weapon against opposing as and when it suits you. Seriously this is nonsensical and a shame to HH & UPND govt. Even if there is a genuine case to go after Mundubila, why have you been quiet until now?? The optics dont look good and this precisely works in the opposition narrative that they are being persecuted. The problem with pursuing cases in this manner, it undermines legitimate cases such as Malanji and Boman cases. This kind of kindergarten way of running our criminal justice system is laughable to say the least. UPND govt has serious cracks when it comes to insecurities. This stupid action erodes any credibility in UPND’s way of legitimacy in handling opposition cases. This is so disgusting and disappointing. All we want is fair play not these underhand methods we Zambians rejected from PF. Anyway your monkeys, your circus, citizens speak at the ballot box.

The timing is all wrong. Mr. Mundubile’s dubious dealings were known from before the 2021 elections that ushered in the UPND government. What have the LEA been doing all this time?
Furthermore, there are cases which have died quietly, like the KCM liquidator, Mr. Milingo Lungu, who was given blanket immunity by the PF DPP, Mrs. Siyunyi. There are so many looters who have gotten away because they have kept a low profile.
The problem is that you are all looking at it from a negative point of view. Try to look at it positively:
1) Isn’t it good that he enters the State House with a clean slate?
2) Isn’t this a good opportunity to “kwenyula” Mundubile that he is corruption-free, which should strengthen his call to reduce corruption when he is in power?
3) Isn’t this a good BASELINE so that after his presidency, people will be able to measure how much wealth he accumulated while being president?
4) In addition to that, Mundubile has NEVER refuted Kambwili`s allegations, therefore, isn’t this the best opportunity to expose himself as a corruption-free guy?
I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages; therefore, I don’t understand this complaining and bilkering, sorry.
Any man who as an ambition to become the Republican President will have to be investigated to the core. This is just standard procedure. No witch hunt and no under hand methods. Mundubile has to blame his buddy CK for alarming the ACC. If Mundubile is clean, he will be let go.
Mundubila was engaged in business dealings with the government. He was awarding himself fraudulent contracts that were excessively priced. Ultimately, no work was accomplished. This is the manner in which they operated. He is a significant thief. He appeared on the Costa show, admitting to conducting business with the government. How was he obtaining these contracts? It was through backdoor bribery of the entire system that approved these fraudulent contracts. It is imperative to never allow anyone in government to engage in business with the state. Never. His businesses cannot thrive without government contracts.They have become accustomed to receiving unearned money, which is why he is striving to return as president, so they can continue their previous actions of destroying the country and stealing.
The issue lies in the fact that you had to endure such a lengthy wait before apprehending the individual. We informed you in 2023 that Mundubila is a thief, yet you delayed taking action. The timing is inappropriate to arrest him now. Let us postpone any further actions until after the elections.
