Africa-Press – Zambia. Socialist Party President Fred M’membe has swiftly moved to lend support to the recently fired permanent secretary in the Ministry of Health Dr George Magwende.
In a post on his Facebook page, Dr M’membe acknowledged that Dr Magwende has been very close to him for many years, going back to 1992 when he entered Medical School in Lusaka, adding that he has been a brother and Comrade of his for many years and that the Dr Magwende he knows is very different from the one who is being summoned to the the Anti Corruption Commission ACC over corruption allegations.
Dr M’membe said that Dr Magwende is an absolutely incorruptible man, an honest and selfless human being and he has no doubt whatsoever that Dr Magwende cannot engage in the abuses that are being insinuated and bandied around, further adding that, if anything, Dr Magwende can only be victimised for his integrity – inability to do wrong things and his courage to say no to wrong schemes.
Dr M’membe further said that by being fired, Dr Magwende has been investigated, charged, tried and judged by President Hakainde Hichilema, and has been found guilty.
“With these happenings, what would be expected of the ACC? To disagree with the President’s verdict?” he Dr M’membe questioned.
