I am one of those people that cried foul when Amos Chanda was appointed as Press Secretary leaving out Emmanuel Mwamba, who so much wanted the job, and somehow, deservingly so.
However, when I look at some of the mistakes Emmanuel makes, out of his overzealousness and desire to be noticed, I feel like commending President Lungu for the choice of Amos Chanda and the cantankerous Kisa Sulu.
I was very happy with the response of President Lungu on the FIC, which came through Amos Chanda, but it seems Emmanuel is still pulling wrong strings as he has always been doing on this matter for benefit best known to himself, though he is not so corrupt.
I am just wondering what is motivating Emmanuel to continue tinkering with this issue, risking this Country’s integrity on the International scene.
Below is a Press release from SA, released by Naomi Nyawali, which of course is all Emmanuel’s works.
Tomorrow at 09:00hrs, I will do a video address to respond to this press releasing so that, people can understand the danger Emmanuel Mwamba is exposing this Country to.
I wish someone would buy me some airtime on Prime TV and radio to talk about FIC, so that people can know how important that institution is in fighting financial crimes and corruption.
Like I was saying, the FIC, is not just a local institution and without knowing Emmanuel is proving me right as he talks about Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG).
Tomorrow I will also talk about Egmont Group (https://egmontgroup.org/en/content/egmont-group-secretariat) for you to understand how powerful the FIC is and why people like Emmanuel should not be playing around with it.
