As 2024 draws to a close, we extend warm seasonal greetings to you, President Hakainde Hichilema.
As we prepare for 2025, we encourage you to intensify your commendable fight against corruption, both past and present.
Your recent reshuffling of Permanent Secretaries demonstrates your commitment to curbing corruption, and we applaud this effort. However, we urge you to act decisively against corruption within your inner circle, particularly involving your legal advisor, Christopher Mundia.
Christopher Mundia’s actions are reminiscent of Kaizer Zulu, the infamous advisor to your predecessor.
Like Zulu, Mundia’s alleged misconduct is damaging your administration’s integrity. His involvement in scandals, such as the fertilizer deal with ETG, raises serious concerns.
The missing $43 million from the fertilizer swap and Mundia’s role in blocking investigations into this matter demand urgent scrutiny.
Mundia’s reported schemes extend beyond fertilizers, involving coercive practices against investors and misuse of restricted accounts for personal gain.
His unchecked influence undermines your government’s credibility, leaving Zambians questioning why he appears untouchable.
While personal loyalties may explain your reluctance to act against Mundia, we urge you to prioritize the nation’s trust over personal ties.
The dismissal of former Inspector General Lemmy Kajoba, allegedly linked to investigations involving Mundia, adds to public skepticism.
President Hichilema, history reminds us that shielding corrupt aides only erodes public trust. For the sake of your administration’s legacy and Zambia’s future, we urge you to address this issue decisively in 2025.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year filled with bold leadership and unwavering resolve.
