DO NOT CONFUSE LOOTING WITH HARDWORK – ROMEO KANG’OMBE
Lusaka, Zambia – April 25, 2024
Sesheke Member of Parliament Romeo Kang’ombe has reiterated the importance of distinguishing between hard work and the criminal act of looting public resources. He emphasized that it is an insult to the collective intelligence of Zambian citizens for criminals to equate looting with legitimate wealth acquisition.
Mr. Kang’ombe condemned the arrogance and stubbornness displayed by former ruling party members, stressing that instead of defending their actions, they should be apologizing to the citizens for betraying their trust when they held power. He pointed out that the recent revelations of stolen properties are directly linked to former President Edgar Lungu’s family and associates, highlighting the need to hold accountable those responsible for plundering the nation’s wealth.
The Member of Parliament called out the previous ruling party, labeling it a criminal organization that sabotaged the country’s future. He questioned how individuals entrusted with national responsibilities could walk away with millions of dollars, while ordinary citizens suffered due to lack of basic services and opportunities.
In response to propaganda suggesting that President Hakainde Hichilema is against local businesses, Mr. Kang’ombe highlighted initiatives such as the creation of the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and the increase in Constituency Development Fund (CDF), aimed at empowering local businesses and individuals.
The Sesheke lawmaker raised concerns about unpaid debts to local suppliers during the previous regime, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice. He urged law enforcement officers to remain resolute and not be swayed by propaganda from criminals, stressing the importance of recovering all resources belonging to the Zambian people.
As Zambia moves forward under the progressive leadership of President Hichilema and the UPND, Mr. Kang’ombe emphasized the need for transparency, accountability, and a commitment to rebuilding the nation’s economy for the benefit of all citizens.

Enough of this carry on! Working on your promises could be a good idea instead!!
Zambia is not a Revenge-ocracy!!!
From the state of the economy now, which political party has worked hard between PF and Upnd? Zambians have never been so hungry before! Zambians have never suffered like this before. Even in Sesheke where this Kang’ombe is MP people have nothing to eat, they are sleeping hungry. And people are saying things were better under PF. This MP should know that there’s more looting today under Upnd than what we saw under PF! Politicians are dealing in buying and selling Zambians mines! Imagine. That’s tantamount to selling the country! So don’t defend wrongs things just because you have tribal interests. Zambia will never develop like that! Even if Hichilema is your party president, when things are wrong , tell him that things are not alright, that’s when he’s going to learn!
Otherwise, he will be thinking things are alright, till he loses elections that’s when he will realize that things under his rule were very wrong!
What corruption have you proved since HH7 came into power? Of course there’s a lot of it in your head but him is busy exposing you criminals
Selling the family silver is grand corruption, so is asset stripping during the Chiluba privatisation of the mines! There’s evidence alright!!!
Some Bloggers can’t write anything without mentioning “tribe” in their comments. Very predictable. Their lenses only see “tribe” in everything. Just because they are tribal, they think everyone is Tribal. I am sure there’s a Terminology in Psychology for such people?
Well said, honorable. Looting and hard work are not one and the same. Our politicians ought to emulate politicians in Europe, Australia and North America who hardly help themselves to public funds. So keep on pumping sense in these local looters.
The biggest challenge is people owning properties which are not cominsurate to their earnings .They fail to explain how they acqired alot and big properties.You find one has estates which a Government Ministry doesn’t have.The person has not worked any where but reacher than a Government department in some cases richer than a Ministry of Government.How good are they in business where they make such huge profits but the revenue collector is not aware.No proper financial statements which can explain their financial earnings.One person is capable of giving or donating moneys to a good number of people and each is able to build mansions of extronomical amounts of money.Then one says they are hard working.What is more painful is to see civil servants who worked tirelessly for their country suffer to ask for their pension money for closer to twenty five years.HIPIC completion point was attained decades now but civil servants are not fully paid.Some worked fewer years or not at all but very wealthy.They should be very remorseful.Now they want to regroupe and continue to loot.They want to loot for the unborn great grand children who they will not see.Shameless cliptomaniacs of the waste kind.
