WHY CAN’T I HAVE HALF WEALTH OF WHAT HICHILEMA HAS, ASKS EDGAR LUNGU.
By Prince Kaliza Jnr.
Former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu says he is disappointed with President Hakainde Hichilema on how he want to punish him over his little assets he has managed to accure at 65 years old.
The former Head of State says he is surprised that at his age, with grey hair, Hichilema expect that he can’t have assets that are half of his wealth.
Speaking to the Media Yesterday evening, Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu stated that, he is entitled to have atleast half of the wealth to that of Mr. Hakainde Hichilema because he had reached an everage level of making it in Zambia.
He stated that, President Hakainde Hichilema is young from him, but has so much wealth and why should his be deemed normal.
Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu has also castigated Director General of the Anti- Corruption Commission Mary Chirwa that she is playing mind games because she was around when he was acquiring properties.
“That madam Mary Chirwa knows everything, she is an accomplished Investigator and she has been around, so she is playing games, mind games to make it seem we are criminals, no there is no criminality there. So I even told those guys that, I’m ready to testify ” he said.
“But if you look at the property in question, it is just a simple brick and motor, it is just a simple property whereas every average Zambians who is there could afford it. I’m over 65 years and I have been around, I have a bit of grey matters, so I don’t know where this is leading to ” he said.
“So as young as he is [Hakainde Hichilema], I think he is fifty something, he has so much wealth, I can’t even have half of what he has? C’mon man, let us be real” he said.
Why was not Mr. Sata taken to hospital in time?
WE MAY ALSO ASK.
WAS IT A PLANED MOVE TO GOT MONITORY AGAIN?
I am disgusted and disappointed at the thinking of our ex president. Wealth is gotten from hard work good business or inherited not from theft. President Lungu should declare what he had before he became president and compare it with what he had now? Is the trail of his wealth innocent? Can it honestly be accounted for?
Indeed Lungu is everything one needs to be wrong and stupid. How can you use age instead of what you have been doing to become wealth? Thieves do not even give themselves time to think of normal defense but bukabwalala fye. Please do a thorough job ba DEC to nail some thieves. We know that most people in that office use proxies. Do not despair ba DEC, one day is yours while thieves may enjoy the 99 days.
Zambians are not stupid…..we know how you came and how you left.Just account for all the criminality full stop.
We have no living former president to fill the Statesman gap left by RB!
We have also advised friends of Adada to get him a Spokesperson!
When RB faced investigations, we never saw him ranting like this trying to prove his innocence. RB allowed and welcomed investigations and got his name cleared.
No need to be jittery if you know you are innocent!
Why the noise?
@ Chikubabe you are 100% right. I wonder how this guy became a president with such mentality…
Kabimba was right when he said LUNGU is the weakest and corrupt PRESIDENT ever to exist. Yesterday Davis Mwila said that ba LUNGU is the one to blame. He is NOT courageous enough!!!
.
If that’s your defence, then every Zambian should be scared of what you were doing as President! And going by your statement, why are you living in rented property when you have built brick and mortar? Your wife’s 15 flats and God knows how many you managed to build from proceeds of crime. Leave Mary Chirwa alone to do her work. You were saying mfwitimfwiti. Just answer the queries. The people you used to send are the one’s giving information. You’re very careless with your mouth! No one has asked you and you are busy running commentary. Just wait. It’s too early for you to be coming out talking. You will talk in court. The cases are many including Treason for the 2016 elections.
This ECL was warned in relation to what he was doing when he had instruments of power and I don’t understand Y he is making tuma noise.
Baba you acquired sudden wealth while holding a govt position. You cannot compare yourself to HH’s wealth acquired without holding any govt office!
Just explain how within a year of being in office your wealth took a sudden uphill trend. If you had that wealth why did you not surrender your ministerial house back to govt? You left your family there to be maintained at govt expense? Suddenly your son bought large tracts of land in Kanakantampa, fenced off and heavy farm machinery to till the land.
Oh my word!, does this man have a grade12? He is confirming he is From 3. When you spend all your money drinking Jameson you cannot acquire property even at 65 years or older. So if you acquire property illegally it is ok as long as it is half or less than what someone else younger has? How so lucky we are that this lack of thinking was our presidency for close to a decade.
There are a lot of 65+ year old people out there who do not own any property/assets. Yours Sir, was definitely gotten illegally, it is obvious from your running/scary mouth.
IF YOU ARE 65 YEARS OLD, GREY-HAIRED, HAVE AMASSED WEALTH GENUINELY AND INNOCENT, THEN COOPERATE WITH LAW ENFORCERS INSTEAD OF MAKING UNNECESSARY COMPARISON AS IF IT IS AUTOMATIC THAT AS ONE AGES HE ALSO BECOMES RICHER. DON’T PRETEND THAT YOU ARE BEING HARASSED! REMEMBER FIRST HOW YOU HARASSED HIM!
Some people are stinking reach but they have not even in formal employment for 2 years in their lives, where did they get the billions of Kwacha? Only God knows the truth and he will punish them as well.
Hakainde is rumoured to be worth 1 billion USD.
Which means Lungu is work 500 million USD.
Where is the asset recovery department?
He had a target and he achieved it without moving a muscle, what a genius from Zero to half of the richest man’s wealth, and now he can even boast about his achievement, what a genius
How can you just wake up in the night and say I want to have half the number of wives Muswati has, do you know when Muswati started marrying, and what effort he put in to reach that number, you don’t just wake up and start making unrealistic comparisons, if you want to be rich, work for those riches, don’t climb a tree from the leaves, if you want to marry many wives, wait for the read mat ceremonies’ you cannot just marry in between if you want to be like Muswati..
You are crying alot ba former president. Things gotten illegally will make you gave sleepless nights.if you are clean then you will be cleared. Looks like the heat is too much for you and while are you trying to clean yourself? Let the law clean you. We know that you became a multimillionaire in an instant together with some of your colleagues and we were wondering how and why someone would be dishing out money like that without worrying. You see hard earned money is not abused like that but only I’ll gotten wealth is kaili it was not worked for.
