Our laws are not mere decoration. They are the backbone of justice and order. No self respecting lawyer should ever use litigation as a tool to frustrate justice. The law exists to serve the people, not to shield wrongdoers.
The recent statement from the DEC goes beyond individuals. It is about Zambia itself. It is about integrity in public life and the duty of national service. It calls for honest lifestyles, and such a call deserves an honest and robust response from the media.
When evidence was stolen from a mall, the nation was rightly alarmed. Yet, despite fierce contestation, justice prevailed and a conviction was secured. Even so, the Magistrate hesitated to impose a sentence that matched the gravity of the crime. This gap between guilt and punishment leaves justice looking incomplete.
What is most disturbing is the arrogance of Malanji, wasting time throughout the trial. Convenience, is more important. Eleven million dollars could have built hospitals or schools, but instead it vanished into private hands. It is contempt for the public, while others defend this theft.
Our government machinery is under siege.We are witnessing corruption and attempts at state capture. The arrogance on display, exposes the danger of cartels tightening their grip on Zambia’s future.We ask: is Zambia being “sold” piece by piece to a new cartel?

It put it correctly, 90% of Zambia’s debts were procured for and ended up in private pockets. Malanji is not an isolated case. What’s happening in the South African court is a product of the Zambian debt money starched in foreign lands as assets. Even after they had defaulted on loan repayments they continued with brazen day light robberies. The giving of KCM to Milingo Lungu under flimsy liquidation pronouncement is another example of day light robbery. These are straightforward forward matters.
If pf had plans to use that money to build hospitals, among others, they would not have transferred the money to Turkey.
The money was transferred in the name of procuring a physical asset (building). On paper it was a good plan in the eyes of the conmen, only to go and withdraw hard cash!
These are the dollars the carders were burning.
While, looting the same money, they default on debt repayment.
Do you know that this case is so annoying such that giving such reasons is even more annoying.
This is criminality of the highest order, which, in some countries would have called for death by firing!
DEC, Malanji was not a signatory to the Turkey account. Why have you spared the signatories? Everyone involved in this matter, no matter how small, should go to jail.
You also should appeal that Mickey mouse judgement.
When I read about this huge theft, I cried, I remember some retirees who died of depression because of delayed pension money but some one lifted such a huge amount of money and threw it in his pockets.This is painful honestly.With us who have love for fellow human beings we have felt the pain indeed.Some people fail to do CT scan because they don’t have money yet that machine could have been bought using that money to hospitals.What even pains more is the revalation that the Presidential plane was used to go lift that money from Istanbul Turkey and helicopters were purchased and houses were bought.That is more than plunder.
