Nepotism, Favouritism and Tribalism are Serious Crimes

Nepotism, favouritism tribalism are all forms of serious acts of corruption as they rob other qualified persons fair opportunities.
Since UPND Government has been heightened the practice of these vices, their supporters usually claim that persons appointed or have benefitted from these nepotistic or tribal appointments, are Zambians, and qualified to hold such positions.
The excuse that one is qualified and therefore earned the position, requires that strict proof, especially for professional jobs, is shown that the position/vacancy was opened up for competition, and the candidate was suitably qualified and was truly better than other candidates.
According to information Beenzu Mapani, the daughter to ZESCO Managing Director Victor Mapani, was recently employed and now has been promoted.
If the Anti-Corruption Commission was interested in fighting corruption, this case is a perfect candidate for investigations.
But the ACC is pre-occupied with fighting old, targeted cases and similar to other Law Enforcement Agencies, are focusing on fighting the Patriotic Front and not pursuing the current crimes or pursue the mandate given to them by the Constitution.
However, nepotism, favourtism and tribalism are serious crimes as forbidden by the Constitution.
Ba Mwamba. Stop being petty. Employing your own daughter be it in your own company or in a company in which you are the MD is so basic logic. Promoting your relative when she meets the BASIC requirements is very simple logic.
This Beenzu Mapani is not even Victor Mapani’s daughter. Ken Kaunda had his children serving in the civil service when he was President of Zambia. His son the late Wezi Kaunda was deputy minister in his father’s government. Yet here we are marking the 100th birthday of Kaunda today without pointing out some of the above. But Mapani is being demonised because another Mapani who’s not even his daughter has got a job in the organisation he heads.
So what if she is his daughter and has the qualification needed for her job.
Mwamba is a Lunatic, actually a Lucifer!
Kikiki so it means the pfools have two Lucifer’s, mwamba and the confused bishop……it hard mweeee!!!
When late pfidiots president appointed his nephew as US Ambassador it wasn’t nepotism or blah blah and later decided he’s better off as ConCourt Judge still nepotism never applied, as long as its pfools tefyo? Idiot of a Lucifer for real!!¡
Stop being foolish, people are promoted on merit. You were made PS on tribal basis and ambassador on patronage. That why your conscience is in trouble. The girl is qualified for the job. Please control your perpetual oscillating mind and focus on productive issues.
When did you know that its crime?
No wonder KK used to call some Zambians “stupid idiots”
Go to court if a crime has been committed
Assuming that she’s his daughter, if he can’t appoint his daughter, who will? Look at it this way. He’s a qualified electrical engineer and because of interest his son does the same profession. Does it mean that his son can’t work in ZESCO? EM and the Defunct TuPF criminals will never cease to amaze us
It doesn’t matter whether a cat is black or white as long as it catches the mice
Oh EM still writes. He deserves a PhD in propaganda. I am serious.
