PRESS STATEMENT
14 TH JULY 2022
YOU BLEW YOUR OWN WHISTLE; BE SINCERE AND FACE THE LAW
It’s very unfair for PF to claim that President HH and his New Dawn Administration are persecuting the Lungu family. To the contrary, PF crimes were in public domain long before Mr. Lungu was kicked out of office. We ask Mr. Lungu and the former first lady to sincerely talk to their conscious than playing to the gallery to an extent of even involving God when they know better what they did. The other PF members should stop threatening DEC and celebrating criminality. Zambians want their money back. We are aware that corruption is fighting back, but there will be no sacred cows.
We wish to remind Mr. Lungu that Hon Chishimba Kambwili was the first whistle blower who disclosed that Mr. Lungu is too corrupt and a thief. Mr. Lungu gave instructions that UBOMBA MWIBAL ALYA MWIBALA. Then Mr. Lungu informed the Nation that some of his Ministers were corrupt and that out of 10 Bembas 6 are thieves. To crown it all the then PF Secretary General Davis Mwila openly warned his colleagues that if they lose the elections they will go to jail. This is a case of self betrayal. DEC is merely acting on tips from Mr. Lungu and his colleagues.
We therefore find it very strange for people to twist the facts that were presented to the public by Mr. Lungu himself and his colleagues. Mr. Lungu should blame Dr Kambwili for disclosing to the Zambians that he was too corrupt and a thief. Zambians and the Investigative wings have no reason to doubt what Dr Kambwili said because he was an insider and very close to Mr. Lungu. They say if you want know how a Hippo lives under water ask the crocodile. Therefore there is nothing like persecution.
If Mr. Lungu can openly say that he was working with thieves, who are we including the Investigative wings to ignore the man who had access to daily intelligence reports even on his Ministers. The former President has been vindicated for saying that out of 10 Bembas 6 are thieves, due to the high number of PF Bemba Ministers being arrested. Just like Dr Kambwili, the former President knew what he was talking about.
