1. In 2016 when asked by times on the progress of the 518 billion cashgate under DPP he said his investigations have led him to 13 files with above 200 billion unaccounted for.
In 2020, he says, out of the 13 files, he is remaining with 2 files which have international institutions involvement.
My observation:
Mr. Matemba knew of these 2 files in 2016, much as they take time but the so called international organizations can’t take over 4 solid years just to respond to him.
That aside, why couldn’t he start with the concluded 11 files? I believe we could understand him that way.
2. He arrested Karim on money laundering case in 2018. Up until now, he has never taken him to court. He dilly dally with taking the matter to court saying courts take time to give dates to corruption cases.
My observation:
He has never written the chief justice to be given a priority on his cases.
Secondly, I observed, in 2019, ACB arrested an individual on a corruption case that involved K156,000.00 and the case was concluded within the same year. Which courts and ACB handled this special case?
3. He says the death of Njaunju pains him and would wish to have justice done on the fallen brave son of the soil.
My observation:
If you did sympathize with Njaunju, the best was to proceed with the case that costed his life. That’s how you would have seen justice from ACB on Njaunju, instead, he kept the file that killed a fellow officer under the carpet.
4. He claims to have arrested DPP gurus and no opposition members
My observation:
There is no DPP member serving jail in our prison. The only politicians serving jail in matters related to corruption are linked to People’s Party.
5. He claims that the environment was harder for him to do his job
My observation:
Under the same environment, a less empowered govt institution, the ombudsman, was doing their job perfectly well when Matemba was sitting on Karim, MRA recruitments, 518 billion DPP cashgate etc.
I conclude therefore that even if we allocated the whole country’s budget to ACB, Matemba adzakhalabe Matemba. We only knew Jane Ansah was a time waster and a cadet after we recruited Kachale. Time shall judge him…
Ma youth league mwayambapo kuti mumpezere zifukwa matemba. The reality is all dpp cases were taken to court and were proved to be fake and politically motivated to shield the real cashgate committed by pp. For example chaponda’s case was a mere cook up political propaganda aimed at killing chaponda’s political career because many believed that he would have been apm’s successor. Pp cases were taken to court and were proved to be real and even by the convicts themselves like lutepo. Ansah is very innocent and her hands are clean because even both the concourt and the supreme failed to proof that the vote was rigged. They only nullified selectively the presidential polls for the reasons better understood by them and those who don’t like justice. The polls led by ansah were unique and exceptional because even the UN under UNDP’s bdo participated in making those polls credible, free, fair and transparent. The said irregularities like the tippexed sheets were reauditted at the national tally centre after first scrutinized at the district tally centres by bdo. The issue of duplicates and the constituency tally centres were accepted by mec after all participating parties agreed. There is no such a thing like 50%+1 in our constitution and the way it was applied in the just ended polls will only give an upper hand to abusers and this will only complicate things. The 3rd loser will be offering help to either the first or second on one condition of becoming the co-president in case of a re-run. Things were done haphazardly hence no clear laid procedures. The parties which competed were not the ones which competed in 2019. There were totally new parties that came in form of alliances with totally new running mates. We thought elimination method was to be used i.e dpp and mcp after dropping the other parties from position 3. This tactic was the one which pp introduced in 2014 but fortunate enough it flopped after jb failed to nullify the polls apm won. The 2020 polls had no auditors and were marred with abduction, intimidations, etc. Thanks to apm because of his statesmanship. He really proved that human life matters to him despite some pushed him to savage politics.
