Mundubile calls on Hichilema to declare assets to give corruption fight direction
MPOROKOSO Member of Parliament Brian Mundubile has advised President Hakainde Hichilema to declare his assets in order to give a new direction to the fight against corruption.
Appearing in Diamond TV on Tuesday,, Mundubile stated that the President must also ensure that all his ministers declare their assets if he is to fight corruption diligently.
“Let him call his ministers to declare their assets. Deal with constitutional office bearers who are facing charges, deal with ministers who are facing corruption charges even the president must declare his assets to give a new direction to the fight against corruption,” he stated.
The law maker stated that if the President is to fight corruption effectively then he should ensure the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is independent.
Mundubile claimed that there is grand corruption in the UPND noting that the Patriotic Front (PF) left the country at the time it was gaining potential.
“If he genuinely wants to fight corruption he should ensure that ACC is independent and he should not protect any minister. Whatever has been revealed during the last few days was known to the president. There’s grand corruption in the UPND,” he alleged. .
“If PF were thieves, they were stealing change, the UPND are stealing capital. Figures don’t lie.”

Ndumbubile the access to information law is now in effect, you can go and request HH7 asset declaration from the Electoral Commission of Zambia who have had since the last elections ok? Stop being a nuisance typical of pfidiots!!
What’s wrong with Mundubile? He wants to spend the whole five years talking about declaration of assets by HH. Wailasha boy, you have to wait for 2026, he will do that, declaration of assets has never been a direction for fighting corruption, only a corrupt leader can say that. It doesn’t make sense for the President to declare his assets in 2021, then in 2024 and again in 2026. What can he steal or what has he stollen, he doesn’t even get a salary, HH is the richest President to ever rule this country, if stealing was the job for you or his predecessor, I am sorry, it’s not his job. HH came to serve the people of Zambia and not to steal their money. Go to schools, Constituencies and Public Universities, you will find the money there, we are enjoying free education, student meal allowances and increased CDF, do you think we can listen to you? No ways.
Ba Citizen, the declaration has nothing to do with how rich HH is. It is a control measure. Both Mr. Lungu and Mr. Hichilema are morally bound to publicly declare their assets and liabilities. We want to know how much Mr. Lungu made from his presidency. We have heard his children saying their were gifted all sorts of properties and monies by their father.
As for Mr. Hichilema, we would like to know what he came into the presidency with so that we can keep tabs on his wealth right up to 2026.
Ba Citizen, your assertion that HH is too rich to steal is naive. Greed knows no bounds. PF looters never stopped looting the treasury even when they were stinking rich. HH is not an angel either.
Trust is good but control is better.
