CHITOTELA CANES ‘HYPOCRITES’

- By CHARLES MUSONDA

THOSE accusing fellow government officials of corruption are themselves among the most corrupt, says Housing and Infrastruc­ture Developmen­t Minister Ronald Chitotela.

“What a world, a world defined by wonders and surprises. A world where you find real criminals being applauded, praised and said to be great men and women of integrity when in fact the truth is different.

“This is a world where those who are actually at the centre of criminalit­y are seen and heard to be the loudest with impunity. They are the most noise makers condemning the clean while hiding their dirt.

“They call innocent people who have offered to serve society above self as corrupt and all sorts of names,” Mr. Chitotela said.

He said those who had come to serve the masses with clean hands and good intentions were the ones being condemned while real criminals and thieves were being praised all over.

“Where are we going fellow country men and women? Anyway, God is watching and one day, judgement will come on each one of us,” he said.

Mr. Chitotela said 2018 would be a year of serious commitment to service delivery above self, and assured the Zambian people that his ministry would commit its energy to bringing real developmen­t under President Lungu’s leadership.

“And to those who are too loud in condemning the clean while hiding their corrupt activities, we say God will judge you soon,” he said.
