HH gives President Lungu 48 hours to locate owner of the 48 houses

Opposition UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilima has given President Edgar Lungu 48-hours to locate the owner of the 48 houses in Lusaka’s Chalala area allegedly linked to corruption and bring the culprit to book.

Mr. Hichilema says the Patriotic Front government and law enforcement agencies should for once stop insulting the intelligence of Zambians on the recent case of who owns the 48 flats.

He says it is appalling that the head of state and government quickly managed to know the so-called saboteur who cut one electricity pole costing about K300 in Southern Province, but cannot establish who built 48 multi million worth of flats right in the capital city.

Mr. Hichilema says it is unacceptable that the ACC has failed to identify the owner of the said houses when properties, particularly land, have a proper paper trail.

President Edgar Lungu has however instructed Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo to ensure the case regarding the 48 houses is probed further.
