Edith Nawakwi says all those who participated in the Topstar deal and those who are involved in the planned sale of the Natural Resources Development College (NRDC) are foolish.
And Nawakwi says the Zambia Revenue Authority has become a monster fighting the growth of local businesses.
Commenting on President Edgar Lungu’s Cabinet reshuffles yesterday, Nawakwi who is opposition FDD leader, challenged newly appointed Information and Broadcasting Minister Dora Siliya to go and bring out the truth about what transpired in the Digital Migration scandal.
“Dora should have been there from the beginning because that’s where she was brought up. Her first job should be to go and find out what happened when my brother [Chishimba] Kambwili was still minister of information and ZNBC was given to some obscure company called Topstar. I don’t know who owns it but they are still levying me as a citizen, I don’t want. We should discuss this matter otherwise we will sue them for obtaining money by false pretence. I mean why should we be levied to subsidise a foreign company? All these are issues which when people add and subtract mathematically, they sum it up in this one big word called corruption,” Nawakwi said.
“When I am president the Chinese should start packing the day they hear that Edith Nawakwi is president elect. They should run very fast and we will catch them in the Indian Ocean. When they are here they will go to jail. This is a criminal offence just like the NRDC deal. Anyone who has put their fingers on NRDC, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, even if PF stays in power for 100 years, the day they get out, the people who put their fingers in NRDC will go to damn the jail! They are very foolish, how can you sell a university site?”
