Sata orders banks to give him HH’s bank details again

Filed under: Breaking News |

President Michael Sata has ordered banks in the country to give him bank statements for UPND president Hakainde Hichilema dating from January 2006 to date.

Sources within the banking sector and Ministry of Finance have told the Watchdog that they received a circular requesting them to furnish State House with bank details of the UPND leader even when there is no court order or search warranty.

Sources said they are surprised that at a time the nation is mourning the death of 59 citizens in a road accident, the President is busy scheming ways of fixing his opponents instead of addressing the many challenges the country faces.

Not long ago, President Sata displayed the UPND leader’s assets and distributed them to journalists at State House with a view to label the UPND leader a thief, but the move back-fired as people thought Hakainde business skill was that the kind of leadership needed in the country.

It is not clear what the latest motive is, but sources speculate that there are moves to freeze Hakainde’s assets on flimsy grounds as Mr. Sata believes UPND survives on his financial muscle.

Currently leading opposition figures in the country such as MMD’s Nevers Mumba are facing various persecution schemes aimed at completely destroying the opposition, which is part of Sata’s medication for heart attack.

  1. classic deception indeed…..trying to divert our attention from the truth and the real matters at hand……we now really remember the issues that Chanda Chimba III brought out in his documentaries….so very true. God help Zambia.

    Should anything happen to the President (God forbid)…..who will actong in the 90 days before elections? Isn’t there true confuision?

  2. The Banks should involve its lawyers when asked to release such vital and confidential information. The banks have a right to take the matter to court. This is the worst dictatorship we are seeing in our beloved country.

  6. Instead, the President should be asking certain banks to provide him on how Mahtani, Mmembe and Nchito have been dribbling financial institutions in the name of rescuing Zambian Airways. The President and his “ACC” must revisit their folly in allowing Mahtani to diversify is trickery into a Lime Indrustry in Ndola. The president must allow security wings to probe allegation f corruption by Wynter Kabimba and GBM. Yes PF may enjoy a field day now but mechanisms to correct these wild fires of corruption is just on the horizon

  9. What’s wrong with Sata? Who does he think he is? This man must stop abusing the trust of the few that voted for him. This is nonsensical. He is playing very archaic communist politics. Let him explain why he was moving with US$27,000 cash when he could have used the banking system for transactions involving such amounts. He must not stretch his lack too far. If Zambians can’t deal with him, God our Father and Protector will.

  10. I cant Imagine H.E. Mr sata goin for HH. What a lie zambia has people with money not HH. HH is not a factor in zambias politics any more just look at the kabwata rally and the mufumbwe election. Actually chipimo is better placed.

Look at the road from Chinsali to Nakonde if you don’t act soon we shall lose more lives and then you can forget to get a vote from that end, you’ve 3 and half years, look at Lusaka roads and sanitation, we are not going to be distracted by persecuting HH or RB

  15. So what if upnd survives on HHS money? When pf survived on your money no one cared its your money spend it the way u want. U know this hh pays schools fees for some students who are not his blood at unza? Out of his own good will. Namugala was right.. I don’t care about her personal life but she says a lot of sensible things. Don’t swallow up the opposition Sata. U need the opposition to keep u in check. Why don’t u want to be kept in check? Leave upnd and hh alone.

    Sata is a guy who will rhetorically tell you why Zambia should not be poor. HH is the guy who demonstrates it.

Gvt shud be more concerned with a mass murderer of 60 chibombo victims. do u want to encourage capital flight? do u remember that Sata was caught with US Dollars at the airport in South Africa and they confiscated it? Is this what we voted for mwe bantu? Ubu bututu, we want to soldier on ahead with national development, nt witch hunting. If there are no new dev ideas, please give way.

Sata is a coward who is entire life has suckled govt money as his livelihood.I wonder who he inspires.sata should concetrate on recuperating from cancer leave business minded HH alone.satas popularity has dwindled a lot.sata is not educated enough that’s why he doesn’t appreciate the power of education and wealth creation.sata doesn’t inspire me.sata won’t last forever he should know that.
