CABINET sources have revealed that the letter of eviction to former first lady Christine Kaseba from 8 Reedbuck Lodge was generated by the cartel at “Bwinjimfumu” with the sole purpose of invoking public anger against President Edgar Lungu.
The letter was however intercepted by State authorities before it could be delivered.
Cabinet sources have told the Daily Nation that the purported letter of eviction was authored on 10th June but before it could be delivered, State House was informed and that the authors were called and advised against proceeding with the plan because it was only going to embarrass Dr Kaseba.
And now, former deputy minister of Tourism in the Levy Mwanawasa administration, Nedson Nzowa, is demanding a full investigation into the matter so that Zambians could know why a newspaper could embark on such clandestine acts with the aim of creating an impression that President Lungu did not care about the Sata family.
It has been revealed that after State House was informed that an eviction letter had been authored by Bwinjimfumu on behalf of 8 Reedbuck Lodge asking Dr Kaseba to vacate the premises, three senior State House aides were tasked to handle the matter.
The source said the authors of the letter had planned their act in a manner such that the letter was going to be used as a leaked document to avoid the possibility of tracing it to the source.
The source stated that Dr Kaseba and her allies had been planning the eviction story and that on the day she left 8 Reedbuck Lodge, she made sure that they knew where she was going and a journalist was sent to take pictures at her mother’s residence.
