Respect Dr Chiluba’s legacy - Chikamba

Dr Chikamba said Dr Chiluba was cleared of all charges that were levelled against him by the court.

He said Zambian’s should get rid of the “wrongful and dramatised impression” of the late President Dr Chiluba because he did a lot for the country, including democratising the country.

Despite taking over a bankrupt Finance Ministry, Dr Chiluba managed to reform the country’s economy within two months, added Mr Chikamba.

Speaking when he featured on Talk at

Six Millennium Radio programme, Mr Chikamba said the late president Chiluba brought serious reforms that built resources from nothing to make what Zambia was today.

“Some of the things that the late President Chiluba brought was the flagship programme of housing empowerment which completely changed the economic fortunes of many Zambians,” he stated.

And speaking on the same programme, committee member Dr. Donald Chanda reiterated that late President Chiluba was a free man and died as such.

Dr Chanda said that it was time that people began remembering the legacy the late president left and not the wrongly dramatized case that he was painted with.

He has called for the restoration of the late President Chiluba’s immunity post-humously saying that “he was acquitted all the charges that were leveled against him and the ones that parliament mentioned when his immunity was been lifted.” Dr Chanda said the restoration of late President Chiluba was important for the public to know, and the government must pronounce that restoration just like the court did but, post humously.

He observed that late President Chiluba apart from innovation brought in public sector, especially the transport sector, he brought in economic policies that made the country a heaven for investing.
