THE Civil Servants and Allied Workers Union of Zambia says it won’t offer legal representation to any civil servant who will be found wanting for stealing drugs.
And the Union has noted that the UPND administration seems fatigued with the fight against corruption, suggesting that maybe some people are benefiting from the act.
Responding to Catholic Priest Fr Chewe Mukosa’s statement that corruption in the civil service was worrying, CSAWUZ General Secretary Makayi Makayi said certain people had the spirit of stealing in their blood. “Why should somebody steal? Sometimes it is in their blood.
Your father was a thief, your mother was a thief and that runs in your blood. Therefore, you can’t resist stealing. It starts from there….

Theft is not a labour issue; it’s a criminal matter. Theft is not a matter for traditional rulers to meddle in; it’s a matter of personal liability. The tribe has nothing to do with it.
Well said Gunner. Please extend your views to what Saki suggests. Because they are Parliamentians or Politicians they should just pay fines?
That turns the law in to a joke. Is that what Saki thinks we are? Jokers who should be abused because “individuals have some kind of status?”
Some of these lawyers should be stripped of their state counsel status. We are all equal before the law and we should infact be more stern and exercise stiffer punishment for leaders who think their preserve mores they are above the law, the minions need to punished more just because they are not leaders.
Did Sakwiba Sikota really say that? What has become of him? Why didn’t he say it in court as he was mitigating for Munir Zulu so that the court would take it into account as it was passing its sentence?
@Gunner, Jackson is probably referencing the News Diggers Opinion that quoted Saki on the topic.
