STATE HOUSE: THE COMMAND POST OF GRAND CORRUPTION, LOOTING

The Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) has stated that corruption remains Mr Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND administration’s major public concern.

In the latest July 2024 forecast on political and economic outlook on Zambia, the EIU report highlights the doubts from key stakeholders regarding Mr Hichilema’s fight against corruption.

“Although the Hichilema administration has promised to clear up government, corruption remains a major public concern. Some media outlets and opposition groups have labelled anti-graft efforts by the current administration largely superficial,” read the report in part.

We are not surprised with the EIU report because this is what we have been saying for a while now. When it comes to fighting corruption, Mr Hichilema is paralyzed by the fact that he has no moral right to condemn or even take decisive action against his lieutenants in government because everyone is literally involved in some illegal activity in one way or another. The endless corruption scandals that have rocked this government are a reminder that the country is in corrupt hands and needs a breather. It is clear that this is a government of the thieves, for the thieves, and by the thieves.

So, how can Mr Hichilema be expected to genuinely fight corruption when there is so much grand corruption and looting surrounding him, and involving him? We have said before that any meaningful fight against corruption in this country has to start with an investigation of Mr Hichilema’s own dealings in almost every sector of our economy like mining, fuel, fertilizer, insurance, grain imports and exports, property and real estate, construction and manufacturing, among many others. There is a need to investigate Mr Hichilema. He should be able to answer questions about his dealings. Without doing so, the fight against corruption becomes hypocritical, a facade and meaningless. Any meaningful fight against corruption must start with an investigation of Mr Hichilema’s business interests.

Mr Musa Mwenye, the ex-chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the US ambassador to Zambia, Mr Michael Gonzales, have emphatically demanded that Mr Hichilema declares all his assets. But Mr Hichilema has constantly ignored these demands. Why? Mr Hichilema knows that the day he is made to fully disclose all his business interests, without being able to conceal anything, will mark the beginning of the end of his presidency and the beginning of his journey to prison. Even Mr Hichilema knows this too well no wonder the resistance.

The amount of systemic corruption and plunder that is being facilitated by State House is terrifying and confirms the sad reality that this presidency is a disaster and a failure! The truth and the reality currently, is that most of the bribery, embezzlement, illicit enrichment, trading influence and all manner of abuses and white-collar financial and economic crimes that we are witnessing are engineered by State House. The presidency is the command post of grand corruption and looting of public resources.

With the presidency organizing and perpetuating corruption, it is wishful thinking to expect this regime to wage a relentless campaign against corruption and succeed.

  1. Honestly, I never thought Hakainde would be corrupt if we voted for him. Boy was I wrong. I knew he would champion LGBT and tribalism, but corruption, I did not think so. Turns out he is just another conman.

    Fred, you would also be corrupt, no doubt.

    Vote wisely in 2026.

    • But HH7 is exposing and firing the corrupt unlike in the Defunct TuPF criminal government. He’ll clean his house shortly
      Vote wisely vote for HH7 in 2026/31

  2. It’s the likes of Freddie Mmembe, the tax fraudster, S. Tembo who stole the cash from incomplete work in Botswana, ECL Lungu who stole his clients money and had his legal practicing licence withdrawn by LAZ, It’s Kapyongo with alot of blood on his hands for the People Who were killed when he was Minister of Home affairs. Not HH or HH

  3. We told you that somebody who has never worked in any company for even 2 years can be the richest man in Zambia. You were saying Hichilema is a business man. We have seen people like late Satwant Sigh who had been business men throughout their lives not become richest men in Zambia. You voted badly to vote for Hichilema. For some of us who worked in government for many years and worked with all tribes in Zambia , we know how different tribes behave and their characteristics. So nobody can cheat me and say he’s from such a tribe and he doesn’t steal, when some tribes they even steal cattle belonging to their own uncle or brother in their villages of origin. Who does that? It’s only those people who have such genes in their blood. Now if you put such a person to control the country’s resources, surely can you expect him to leave any public money intact. It’s like putting a monkey in a maize field. The stage Zambia has reached, Hichilema should just resign. He has failed to govern the country according to the constitution of Zambia and he has failed the people of Zambia. And actually for abrogating the constitution of Zambia he will be in big problems after he leaves office. And he has blocked any Tonga from ascending to office of president in future!

    • Aba nabo ba Manganga lyonse the only topic he is addicted to is tribalism. He must be a 1950s, 1960s primitive Caveman when Zambia was just being born as a Nation and tribes were learning how to live together in towns. Mr Manganga has never weaned from that infantile stage. Sir, Zambia has evolved and moved on and passed that Phase. Zambia is now a mixed marriage and educated country, don’t continue dragging us back into the mucky, smelly and mire Cesspool of Tribalism. Just live alone in your kind of dark world, maybe with a few of your kind and we know them on this Blog!!!

    • HH is working and sharing the national cake equally to all Zambian citizens who are willing to eat through CDF. When I say eating through CDF, I don’t mean stealing. If you have a viable project in mind, present it and you will be funded. If you are lazy and a party after party person you can never get rich. HH started investing when he got his first pay, don’t you get that?
      As for corruption, think again. Anyone involving themselves have been shown the window, the door would be dignifying them.
      MMEMBE is just a parrot who immitates any soud passing through his ears, forgetting he has his own.
      Membe has a history which is real, unlike the Zambian Airways Saga,the ZDA saga, the ZRA saga with the post newspaper, courier service and God knows what else, maybe that Sala man he proposed to can tell us more.
      Such are not good leaders, it would be like bringing back ECL who we were warned about regarding the SWINDLING OF A WIDOW OF HER DESERVED BENEFITS but thought he was repentant. He has NEVER SHOWN ANY REMORSE TO DATE and just because he has KASAKA KANDALAMA people are following him and think he is the right man! Well, to those that want to join him in stealing, these are the right people, ECL, NAWAKWI and FRED.
      THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL THOSE THAT WANT TO PLUNGE THIS COUNTRY INTO A FURTHER EXTENSION OF DR… something must ignore the warning. If you don’t want your children, grand children and relatives to have a better life. Go ahead and try these people. You will remember my words if we don’t let HH Fix the mess built over years.
      The fate HH is suffering now can be likened to a man who marries a woman with indisciplined children. I can assure you it would be an uphill Battle. It is an uphill Battle for HH to change the mind set of those PF Remnants in government.
      They are being used to tarnish his name, but everyone knows he is the man they can forever say to; ” ALUTA CONTINUA”
