Well done Sean Tembo.
Now let us see what excuse Hakainde and his implants at ECZ will give to not disclose the assets.
Thinking that you ll hand over power to yourself idiots you removed that clause in the constitution and now since its hh you want him declared baggers, 370HSSV
Sob, you people are just vile. Scam.
Sean Tembo, also petition that he declares his assets when we vote him out in 2026. We need to know how much he has amassed over his one term in office. Let him declare his Panama accounts as well.
Let ECZ avail the assets for that stood in as presidents effective 2016 so that we track the information conclusively ,it is not about HH but those that stood as well including you Mr.Shoni Tembo.
It’s a legitimate request by Sean Enock Tembo. I expect the ECZ to oblige unless my understanding of the relevant legislation is flawed.
A very reasonable request by Mr. Tembo. However, he should go further and ask for Mr. Lungu’s declaration as well so that we can gauge how much he accumulated from his K2.5million in 2015 to K23miilion 18 moths later in 2016.
This is a good law enacted by the UPND government after the pussy-footing of the previous regimes, MMD and PF, for obvious reasons. They had plenty to hide.
HH has already signed the Access to Information Bill and Mr. Tembo is free to access that information from ECZ or wherever it can be found. He doesn’t even need to announce to anyone. But don’t complain when Lungu also starts being investigated, we equally want to know how much he declared in 2015, 2016 and how much he left the government with. You seem to be excited now but very soon, these things will start backfiring on you and Mr. Tembo will be the first person to cry persecution. HH has nothing to hide, some of his assets you are seeing them through his farms and animals. Olo nikufuna or kukonda kuba, can HH bother to steal government money with all those bulls he has? I don’t think so.
Hakainde has a lot to hide.
Anyone that hides his money in Panama has a lot to hide.
Why can he not trust Zambian banking systems?
Ba Citizen, greed knows no bounds. Even our President is not beyond engaging in corruption. He is no angel. Trust is good but control is better.
Controls like the declaration of assets and liabilities and the freedom of information allows us to rein in the greed of our political leadership.
With all due respect to the President, we must never assume that he is beyond corruption. He is a mere frail humanbeing.
Sean “tampon” tembo should declare his ill gotten wealth from Zambia, this chikala needs a slap
They say he is a wanted man in Botswana.
When we know what assets HH has then what? Will that solve the economic woes of the country? Will it solve the poverty levels, unemployment levels?
What Sean Tembo does not realise is making noise about ones wealth doesnt address the issues that plague the country.
The recent law allows Tembo to go to ECZ to ask for the information and the will show him. Grand standing and know what HH owns wont change any of our lives. HH worked for all that he owns, do Zambians own his wealth? Lets get our priorities right. Sean Tembo with his ACCA is a failure in life seeking political office for all the wrong reasons! Objective leadership is what is required. Not noise makers.
I suspect that his surgeon wife is privately ashamed of Sean Tembo’s politics. I think she has tried to get him to start thinking the right political thoughts and has since given up.
