KAKUBO MUST RESIGN AS MP, CONTINUING IS IMMORAL – MUCHINDU
ZAMBIA Corruption Prevention Watchdog Executive Director Jonathan Muchindu says it is immoral for Kapiri Mposhi Member of Parliament Stanley Kakubo to continue serving as a law Maker after resigning as Cabinet Minister.
Muchindu said Kakubo should have further resigned as a Member of Parliament to pave Way for investigations on accusations leveled against him.
Muchindu said Continuing to serve as a Member of Parliament is indirectly suggesting that Parliament affirms to corruption.
He said the Legislature is going to lose dignity if individuals accused of corruption practices are not removed from Parliament.
And National Democratic Congress NDC Faction Leader Saboi Imboela has insisted that President Hakainde Hichilema should have fired Stanley Kakubo as Foreign Affairs and International Relations Minister unlike letting him resign on his own.
Kakubo resigned in December last month on allegations of a money scandal with some Chinese Nationals.

Resigning as MP as well is too much, sir. What do you want to do? You want to exterminate him from the face of the earth or what? Surely resigning as minister is enough. And we know he was good at his work and happened to be one of the best foreign affairs ministers in Zambia — and we are still grappling on who else can replace him. As such, let him discharge his MP duties for the people of Kapiri.
Does this idiot understand the meaning of corruption? That was a purely private business transaction. No public funds were involved.
It is called “flogging a dead horse”.
Let the man be. He has taken enough punishment.
