CONCLUSIONS
Mutembo and his forces have remained largely unscathed even in the face of serious and
credible allegations of impropriety. Liquidators of Zambian Airways have discovered serious
irregularities.
The liquidators have wondered how the Patent and Company Registration (PACRO) kept
both Zambian Airways Company and its fore-runner Mine Air Services ltd. Mutembo
procured most of the statutory debt on Zambian Airways Company but obtained private
loans on Mine Air Services (trading as Zambian airways)! Outright fraud!
Even in the face of calls for resignation Mutembo remains calm and the infrastructure he and
his friends set at the Judiciary remains intact. And they Joke that Rupiah Banda might have
his political power but they have their powers too.
Is the Chief Justice a Captive or willing participant?
The verdict on Dora Siliya is a typical example of the two centres of power. How can Dora
Siliya in one breath be cleared but be clearly be incriminated in another.
The findings have made Both Rupiah Banda and Mmembe and Mutembo are celebrating!
How could an experienced Judge such as Dennis Chirwa pass such an ambiguous
judgement? It is simple. To save themselves, they need to impress both Rupiah Banda and
the Cartel.
It brings a de’javu feeling. This is what The Esau Chulu Tribunal did to the Director of
Public Prosecutions (DPP) Mukelebai Mukelebai. On one hand, Mukelebai was cleared of
all charges yet the tribunal recommended that he be retired in national interest!
Chulu had to please Mwanawasa and the Cartel but also ‘protect’ the integrity of
Mukelebai.
History repeats itself!
Rupiah Banda might be President but the Cartel continues to run parallel processes.
But both forces are on the spotlight.
