Zambia’s Corruption heats up in Nairobi
Scandal; $21million as shareholders fight over collasal profit
● we supplied the equipment to Zambia worth $6 million while we invoiced $21million.
● Stanley Livondo has pocketed $14million profit
A vicious battle has broken out at DLS
International Group Ltd, the Kenyan firm
accused of bribing Zambian officials for a
Sh2.7 billion construction contract, a
situation that has triggered a court-
ordered freeze on the firm’s bank accounts
in Kenya.
Simon Njoroge Ndungu, one of the
shareholders who was also the firm’s
managing director, has sued his business
partners Stanley Livondo, David Kiguongo
Kanja and Agnes Naini Walyaula at the
Milimani High Court, with the two sides
trading accusations of funds.
Stanley Livondo, Chairman of the company (DLS group) registered in February 2023 and was immediately awarded the heavily overpriced contract.
According to the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) his company opened a local bank account in April and was awarded a contract worth US$21 million (K532,802,340.00) to supply hospital equipment to the Ministry of Defence.
In August the Company received advance payment of US$5.6 million (K142, 080,624.00).
The report stated that a check on contract status in December 2023 revealed that the company had not delivered anything despite receiving partial payment.
But ZNBC has been reported that Permanent Secretary for Information and Media, Thabo Kawana stated that Livondo has fulfilled its obligations.
Please arrest the culprits
Sadly, this will become Hakainde’s legacy.
Corruption has well and truly blossomed under his leadership.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Time for reckoning is just around the corner for those who are abusing public money.
Supplied goods worth USD6million and invoiced USD21million!! This is mind boggling. Zambia is truly a looters paradise!!
And PS Kawana was busy defending this?
What level if greed is this? Are the Army officials involved genuine Zambians?
What hope is there for our country when you have such merciless looters in charge of the country?
This is not the first time this story has appeared, it has ever appeared before and this what we said; the story is I’ll reported, it does not add to conclusive truth. For example, the contract was awarded in February, 2023, part payment in August, 2023. A check was done in December, 2023 and nothing was supplied yet. But nothing is being said between December, 2023 and August, 2024. We are also not told when PS Kawana thumbed up the company. From December last year to August this year, we are talking of about eight or nine month, so can the reporter tell us the development in these nine months, is there still nothing that has been supplied? If the items have been supplied and delivered, then where is the problem on our side. I believe those guys are just quarreling over the shares possibly after supplying the goods and were paid. So before pointing a finger at anyone or blaming anyone, can we have the latest position on the matter, have the items been supplied or not yet?
Hichilema must be involved, why is he quite about it after a month of it being revealed. By now the minister of defense, his PS , minister of Finance, his PS, BOZ Director, Attorney General , Secretary to Treasury etc must have been fired. Non of these have been fired, so the buck stops on Hichilema! This Hichilema of yours will pay a very heavy price at the end of the day for cheating Zambians so much! From the 1990s up to now, just cheating Zambians! Pretending to be an angel when he’s not!
It’s free for all.
What do you expect from Kenyans and Zambian tenderprenuers?
