WHO IS MILINGO LUNGU TO FORMER PRESIDENT EDGAR LUNGU?
Dear Former President Mr. Edgar Lungu,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you with a deep sense of concern regarding the recent court ruling involving Milingo Lungu, a well-known close associate of yours.
As you may be aware, the court has found Mr. Milingo Lungu with a case to answer in relation to the 24 million US dollars he is alleged to have obtained. In light of this development, Mr. Milingo Lungu has decided to surrender the funds to the state through a consent judgement with DPP technically to avoid facing imprisonment.
Were you not informed about this issue while in office, and if so, why did you allow it to proceed unchecked?
Given Mr. Milingo Lungu’s close association with you, I believe it is important to address the implications of this ruling. Your leadership and influence play a significant role in shaping public perception and promoting accountability within our society.
Therefore, I urge you to acknowledge the seriousness of this matter and to publicly address it with the gravity it deserves. Your voice can help reinforce the importance of integrity and transparency in our nation’s governance.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I trust that you will consider the concerns raised herein.
Sincerely,
SIKAILE C SIKAILE
CONCERNED CITIZEN
Milingo Lungu was appointed by the High Court as Provisional Liquidator of KCM after a petition by ZCCM-IH. He was answerable to the court in all his actions as Provisional Liquidator. Since he was acting as an agent of ZCCM-IH and never accepted by Vedanta Resources, it’s the board of directors of the said company that needed to keep an eye on his conduct. Eric Silwamba as ZCCM-IH board chair then and his colleagues are theoretically the ones to explain and not Edgar Lungu, although he was of course in the know.
