CF PLANS TO REPORT TRANSCRIBED LEAKED AUDIO CONTENT TO SOUTH AFRICAN AUTHORITIES
Lusaka, July 21 – The Citizens First leadership is appalled by the continued desperation, deception and dirty tactics by the ruling UPND administration to sink low and plot to bribe its way to secure the remains of the late sixth Republican President Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
The leaked audio implicating President Hakahinde Hichilema as being complicity in hatching a plot to try and bribe South African judges handling the Lungu case in the Pretoria High Court is ridiculous and shameful.
As a Government in waiting, we can’t sit and watch the integrity of our sovereignty being shredded to tarters by people who don’t understand the value of governance and good foreign relations.
We have a duty to protect the integrity of our nation from further embarrassment by ensuring that we transcribe the contents of the leaked audio and submit to the South African authorities with an official cover note to provide context.
Those trying to rubbish the leaked audio as AI generated must prove to the contrary. We are aware that this is not the first time the embattled UPND administration is trying to hide their shame under the claim of AI.
When the letters stopping the late sixth Republican President Edgar Chagwa Lungu from travelling out of the country for medical reasons first leaked, UPND were quick to brand the letters as fake and AI generated.
However, it was interesting to note that the same letters were submitted in the Pretoria High Court as part of the evidence.
We are extremely concerned that it seems suing a grieving family is not enough, but planning to bribe judges in a foreign jurisdiction is totally unthinkable and below the decorum and expected behavior of any reasonable Government.
Citizens First will further explore avenues to share the transcribed audio content with other international organizations and foreign governments.

Citizens first will be a curse to Zambia, if, god forbid, they ever form government. Can desperation go that far. Can’t you solve your problems amongst yourselves, instead of going naked before the whole world?
Maybe their voters are in RSA…
Shallow thinking for a former Foreign Minister…
I am just wondering how he managed to keep his post for that long in ECL’s government – his level of thinking leaves much to be desired…
Mr. Kalaba, learn to be patient and have a critical and analytical mind. Leader kwati nikaponya in thinking and actions. Slow down young bloke.
But what else did you think he was?
Exactly my question too.
Anything negative about HH unproven or negative gets scarface excited. Do people think HH would really stoop that low? Kalaba you will never rule. You do not have the brain to ever be president.
This is the lowest I have seen in a government. Attempting to bribe Courts in foreign lands is out of this world. This is Mafia Politics in the realm of Al Capone or Pablo Escobar. Not in a Sovereign and democratic government.
In countries with working democracies, no President can survive this. These are grounds for straight Impeachment.
If Foreign Courts can be bribed, what does it say for our own Institutions. What is really happening with our institutions of Governance. Just yesterday a Thug was threatening Violence against Citizens, and directing the Inspector General of Police to stay away from his lawlessness. The Thug is still free and the Inspector General is just watching in Silence…but quick to arrest Dr Zumani Zimba over a critique of Dr Nervous Mumba ‘s Face book post.
There’s something seriously wrong with governance in this country.
May this Audio Leak be pursued to the end.
May this government be brought to account..We can’t have this Nonsense.
Kalaba is a village champion I don’t even know what kind of schools they used to go to these so called leaders so he can’t see that this is pure AI at work there are free leasons for AI online Kalaba should update himself instead of embarrassing himself this.
Some people are really childish.You want to take rubbish to South Africa sure.This desperation for power is getting out of hand.This must be crazy man.

I blame the Zambian education system,even those who went to school the brain is outside their skulls.As long it’s about HH you will see them sharpening their knives coming to finish him
Ba Kalaba, all what is needed is to check the authenticity of the leaked transcription and if it is proved authentic, deal with it though our legal system, why go to South Africa when our system can adequately deal with Mr AI if he is found guilty?, Mr AI has his time ticking, so don’t show cowardice by running away from our legal system, believe you me if he is found guilty, a lot of judges would enjoy having him in their courts to teach him some life lessons.
