STATE House has warned unscrupulous people obtaining money and other benefits using President Michael Sata’s name to stop their deception before they reap the penalty of their deeds.
This follows numerous reports and complaints reaching the Presidency concerning fraudsters who are obtaining money or some other benefits on claims that they are representing the Patriotic Front (PF) and the Head of State.
In a statement released in Lusaka yesterday, Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations, George Chella, advised members of the public to be wary of such unscrupulous people.
Mr Chella warned that those dealing with the cheats should realise that they are engaging them in their personal capacity, and that State House would not take responsibility for such transactions.
“The Presidency wishes to caution members of the public to be wary of unscrupulous persons that are obtaining money whilst masquerading as representatives of His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Zambia, Mr Michael Chilufya Sata.
“This follows numerous reports and complaints reaching the Presidency concerning these fraudsters that are obtaining money or some other benefits by calculated deception amidst claims of being sent by the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) and the Head of State in particular,” Mr Chella said.
He said State House had nothing to do with anyone pretending to be acting on behalf of the PF and the President.
Mr Chella warned of stern action against people behind the disgraceful acts, and called on the Police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure the culprits were brought to book.
“Furthermore, our word of caution to those behind this disgraceful, crooked and irresponsible behaviour is for them to stop at once before they meet the penalty of their deeds.
“We also urge the Police and other law enforcement agencies to take keen interest in the matter and ensure that the culprits are brought to book,” he said.
