'ACC, DEC DANGEROUS ENTITIES'

.. THEY HAVE BROUGHT DOWN GOVERMENTS - KABIMBA

-

“Former President Edgar Lungu was partly brought down by these institutio­ns. Valden Findlay was a good person during the Lungu regime then President Hakainde Hichilema comes into power and overnight Findlay becomes a criminal,” Mr Kabimba said during a radio interview yesterday.

Mr Kabimba questioned why investigat­ive wings did not find Mr Findlay wanting during the PF regime.

He said investigat­ive wings in Zambia operate in a partisan manner and persecute citizens to protect their jobs.

Mr Kabimba however said as it had been the case in the past, the investigat­ive wings would not come out with anything tangible from the impulse investigat­ions on citizens they were making.

He said a commission of inquiry should be instituted to establish why ACC, DEC and other investigat­ive wings were failing to operate profession­ally in the past.

“The staff in these institutio­ns are contaminat­ed, they want to keep their jobs,” said Mr Kabimba.

Mr Kabimba said instead of sending District Commission­ers on forced leave, the new regime should have sent staff in moribund institutio­ns on forced leave.

He said the officers in these institutio­ns needed to justify their stay in office since 2016 when they acted unprofessi­onally.

He said that even the

KCM liquidator, Mr Milingo Lungu had his account frozen without any notice or explanatio­ns when he was a free man all along.

“Now Milingo, the liquidator to KCM has his accounts frozen, why didn't they do it then if transactio­ns were suspicious? Now they want to pander to HH that they are clean and that the past regime was rotten, and they themselves are clean," he said.
