I’M AMONG THE ‘SMALL FISH’ ARRESTED – EX-ZAMMSA DG
… but not in connection with thefts of USA donated drugs
Former Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency (ZAMMSA) director general Victor Nyasulu says he is among the “smaller fish” arrested to divert attention following the partial forensic audit at the institution covering the period 2023-2024, when what was needed was a forensic audit covering the period 2021-2024.
United States of America Ambassador to Zambia Michael Gonzales last Thursday announced a US $50 million or K1.4 billion cut towards medicines and medical supplies, owing to the government’s failure to stop systematic theft of the products.
He said instead of investigating supply sources or pursuing master minds behind the criminality, law enforcement officials had focused more on low level actors, which led to the arrest of a few mid-level officials.
He said more than six months into a forensic audit of the mismanagement of ZAMMSA, there was no public report about the same.
And speaking with Daily Revelation over the weekend, Nyasulu said that his arrest was not even related to the medicines, as the charge against him was talking
So you admit that you are a fish?
Victor Nyasulu, if you have beans to spill, please spill it. That’s what people want.
If the director General is a small fish, then we can only guess who the big fishes are.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
God bless Why Me and Captain Ibrahim Traore.

Since you have been taken to court, you have an opportunity to explain your position. Now as a small fish, you obviously know the big . As a DG you were not a very small fish. You are obviously a person of interest given the responsibilities of your position, things can not just be disappearing under your watch without an idea. You talk like someone told that you the forensic report is out and you have a copy. The criminality here is complex and will take time. High positions come with responsibilities and you have a right understand the role and reject the position if you believe you can not meet the requirements .
Advice to Victor Nyasulu is KEEP QUIET. A US police officer advised that when you are arrested, you should NEVER speak, but get a lawyer to speak on your behalf. Do not throw away your RIGHT to remain silent and let the accuser prove their case against you. Talking like this can lead to self incrimination.
Isnt this what got Lusambo into trouble. And he ended up in a ceiling board.
Like a tomb**i*o denying that it’s just that atomb**i*o and not a chula, same difference and WhatsApp group especially in the logic!!
