Independent Lumezi member of parliament Munir Zulu says he has received threats on his life, instead of answers on the many issues he raised against mostly those serving in President Hakainde Hichilema’s administration.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Zulu said he had not received answers to the many questions he raised that most people were not fit to serve in President Hichilema’s government, which he said had premised itself on the fight against corruption.
“You see I have received more threats than the feedback that I deserved. A lot of threats are coming. But I mean that’s the path we have chosen. A lot of threats are coming that I can tell you, even two minutes ago I have received a phone call but I am not bothered,” Zulu said. “Look! legal I am not scared because there is nothing. What is there is life threatening. Legal no one wants to take a legal action, they are all yapping saying we will sue you. Let them sue me.”
Zulu explained why he would not report the threats to the police.
“ I won’t report to the police. Look some people that are issuing those threats are in a very privileged position at a very high level, even if I report to the police it won’t make sense. They are serving in the government. I mentioned names. I can’t mention names if I don’t have my facts right,” Zulu said. “I mentioned EIZ, I mentioned National Airports Corporation, but none of the media people is following it up. EIZ by now should have given a position. I brought them in the equation, why are they quiet? The issue now is EIZ to respond to say what I said was true or not. The MD for National Airports Corporation should respond, what I said is true or not.”
He said he expected Energy minister Peter Kapala to be defensive over the several allegations he raised against him.
“But ask EIZ, the President for EIZ himself, the disciplinary chair is Musa Mwenye ask them,” he said.
During his recent press briefing, Zulu said Kapala was not fit to serve in the new dawn government because of his past conduct, wondering whether he was in government for having allegedly offered consultancy services for the Community House in New Kasama.
He also said Kapala had shown that he was not ready to follow President Hichilema’s directive not to issue instructions verbally.
On secretary to the Cabinet Dr Simon Miti, Zulu said he wanted answers from Dr Miti on who authorised the Covid-19 vaccine which had no World Health Organisation (WHO) approval since there was no Cabinet in place at the time the vaccines came in.
He further said he was not the one who said Dr Miti was a criminal, as the judgement said he should be arrested following the imprisonment of former Ministry of Health top official Henry Kapoko.
Zulu said some UPND alliance members were aiding criminals by hiding vehicles at their law firms.
Zulu further alleged at that some officials at Immigration were threatening to withdraw 17,000 permits issued to the Chinese, saying the government should investigate suspected corruption.
“You can’t issue a permit and change because of change of government,” said Zulu, adding that all the heads of quasi government institutions must be fired as they are likely to jeopardise ongoing investigations.
