ADVOCACY URGES FORMER FIRST LADY TO FOCUS ON LEGAL DEFENCE, NOT SYMPATHY PLEAS
Advocacy on Human Development Programmes Coordinator Chris Mweemba has weighed in on the controversy surrounding former First Lady Esther Lungu’s plea for public sympathy amidst legal proceedings.
Following a court adjournment regarding the matter in which the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) seeks to confiscate 15 double-storey flats allegedly linked to criminal proceeds, the Former First Lady strongly declared her innocence. She expressed dismay at the accusations levelled against her, questioning the extent of her suffering compared to other former First Ladies.
But speaking on Mafken FM’s Saturday edition of the Xpress Chit-Chat review, Mr Mweemba underscored the necessity for Mrs Lungu to focus on proving her innocence within the legal framework.
He has emphasized that the court’s verdict will ultimately determine her innocence or guilt, urging her to prioritize presenting compelling evidence before seeking recourse against the government.

My sister better to prove your self before the courts of law than commiting yourself when your conscience judges you well.
Always a thief will try by all means to justify himself/herself to tell people that “nshibile ntolelefye. And every sympathyzer will say awe tabebile ati batolelefye.
How, in the first place, do you explain the source of the stacks of money you asked your niece to keep for you?
What business are you doing to have such kind of money?
And where did you find the money to build such flashy flats?
The bottom line is that you and your husband stole from us the Zambians whom you are crying to. This is part of the loot from KCM? Is this part of the kasaka from road contracts? Whatever the case, it’s money belonging to us Zambians.
Cry and when you are done, come to terms with the situation. No wander ka faza wants to bounce back solely because he wants to reverse the verdicts.
Yes,indeed, Mama Esther, other past First Ladies of our Nation did not suffer or pass thru’
