Corruption Watch (Ministry of Local Government)



Update (30 June 2009) :



  1. Cho you should have waited for Masebo's explanation before posting your comment. You are right when you say it could be a case of mismanagement which people like the present Minister at the Ministry of Local Governement and Housing calls corruption. This goes to show in general the intellectual calibre of people running the affairs of the country. When Prof Chirwa says the MMD looks foolish to the outside world he is right. I would add that the present government in Zambia is incompetent and corrupt.The people's hope is to use their vote wisely to get rid of this lot at the next general election in 2011.

    Have a nice day!


  2. Melvin / Anonymous,

    I have updated and linked to Ms Masebo's statement via the Times.

    I get your point about the uncertainty of the outcome, but the general point was that allowing the law to take course is the correct thing at this stage. Indeed Ms Masebo herself appears to welcome that.

    Whether she is plunderer or not is for the law to decide. I hope not, because she is one of the the more forward looking MPs. So it may well come down to incompetence or politics. Its one to watch!

  3. Well this proves to show how dull Teta is.There is evidence to show that he was attending the meetings of the said allegations not only that,the said hearse contract was signed long after Masebo left.The payments were also made after she left.I think Teta is not telling us the whole truth why he rushed to the press and ACC when there these facts on the table,very interesting

  4. Did it ever occur to you lot that there is nothing sinister about the procurement of these hearses? I mean think about it for a minute. You are all prejudice because you think the purchase of these hearses was conducted corruptly. Why? Where do you get this idea from? PF? Why can’t you accept that 100 constituencies requested for hearses because with the AIDS/HIV pandemic, deaths are more common than before and they need to find a way take the bodies to the cemetery cost effectively and efficiently? It appears that as evidence unfolds, your assumption will be proved wrong. But I’d really like to know why you think the “Hearses” are a corrupt issue?
