Antonio Mwanza put on ZESCO payroll, ACC must investigate – NDC

Antonio Mwanza

The NDC says Antonio Mwanza, who recently left the FDD for the ruling PF, has been put on the payroll of ZESCO, something the opposition party says the ACC should investigate.

And NDC National Youth Chairperson Charles Kabwita Mwanza found himself in the PF because the NDC and other political parties refused to grant him the extravagant demands he wanted.

In a statement, Kabwita said the anti corruption body should institute investigations on how Mwanza, who does not work for the power utility firm, can be drawing a salary from the company.

“The National Democratic Congress NDC is urging the Anti Corruption Commission ACC to immediately institute corruption allegations investigations at the power utility firm Zesco.

“As NDC we want the ACC to as a matter of urgency probe how Antonio Mwanza the PF Deputy spokesperson has been included on the Zesco payroll when he the later is not an employee of the energy firm.”

Meanwhile Kabwita described Mwanza as nothing but a conman who joined PF for personal benefits as opposed to his lies that it was for the betterment of the Zambian people.

He accused Mwanza of having several meetings with NDC in a bid to strike a deal for himself and that when that failed he went to the UPND who also refused to bend to his demands hence ending up in the PF.

“Mwanza is a good for nothing conman who has joined the PF purely for economic benefit’s. It is a well known fact that Mwanza joined the PF out of desperation and selfish need’s.

“Initially, Mr Mwanza had sometime in November last year hinted that he had plans to join the NDC. However, we as NDC could not agree with Mwanza owing to his demands.

“The later had requested that NDC puts him on a monthly salary of fifteen thousand kwacha. He went on further to demand for a car and housing allowance during a meeting he held with NDC youth leader. The meeting took place at kabulonga mall in Lusaka.”

He added “Another meeting was later arranged between NDC consultant Dr. Chishimba kambwili and Mwanza. The meeting was held at Dr Kambwili’s residence in lusaka. Dr. Kambwili vehemently told Mwanza that NDC could not meet his demands because the party had no such monies. Later, Mwanza tried to strike a similar deal with the upnd but this couldn’t materialize.”
