‘ALN BANKROLLS UPND’S ELECTION CAMPAIGN’

THE United Party for National D e velopment (UPND) led by Hakainde Hichilema has been receiving financial support from the Africa Liberal Network (ALN) to participate in all the elections in Zambia, deputy Parliamentary Chief Whip Tutwa Ngulube has disclosed.

And Mr Ngulube said it was hypocrisy of the highest order for the UPND to claim that they only belonged to the ALN which is an advocate of the rights of homosexuals, satanism, gays and lesbians both in Zambia and globally, but did not subscribe to its values.

Mr Ngulube who is also Kabwe Central Member of Parliament said this when he featured on the PF interactive forum in Lusaka yesterday.

He challenged Mr Hichilema to personally come out in the open and tell Zambians how much financial support the UPND had been receiving from ALN for all the by-elections.

Mr Ngulube said he had information on the financial support UPND under Mr Hichilema had benefitted from the network which sponsors elections for its member parties.

“Let him tell us openly before we tell him ourselves how much financial support he has received from the Africa Liberal Network for all the by-elections that we have been having, and also for the 2015 and 2016 general election,” Mr Ngulube said.

Mr Ngulube also challenged Mr Hichilema to state whether or not his party belonged to the liberal network which is alleged to be involved in satanism and gay rights.

He also wondered why Zambians would tolerate a political party that was aligned to a network that did not believe in God, law and order.

“And I want to also challenge HH to tell us himself not sending Kakoma (UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma) or others people, let HH tell us himself whether the UPND is a member of Africa Liberal Network and when he has responded to this question, he must also tell us whether it is possible to belong to an organisation that promotes such immoral conducts and claim that the acts were not binding on us,” he said.

Mr Ngulube also challenged the UPND leader to bring back all his money that he was alleged to have deposited in offshore accounts if he meant well for Zambia.

“We also know of his involvement in the privatisation programme where he is being accused by many people including retirees that he amassed a lot of wealth which he took to the havens in South Africa, Panama, Bahamas and many other areas. He must answer these allegations.”

“This is another moral question that we want to ask him. If this gentle man has been eying the Presidency of this country and this is the country they themselves call a broke country, why does he not want to bring back his money back home?” he asked.
