Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>President of the Socialist Party Fred M\u2019membe has charged that the New Dawn Government\u2019s fight against corruption has clearly gone down the drain. In a post on his Facebook page, Dr. M\u2019membe rhetorically questioned why the United Party for National Development (UPND) government has failed to explain why it single-sourced Maurice Jangulo\u2019s Alpha Commodities to supply 37,000 tonnes of fertilizers at $1,407 per tonne while the general market price is $1,000 per tonne, stealing an additional $15.059 million from the Zambian people in super-profits.<\/p>\n

Dr. M\u2019membe further said that Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ) was given to supply 13,000 tonnes of fertilizers at $1,000 per tonne. Dr. M\u2019membe alleged that Mr. Jangulo\u2019s Alpha Commodities was given the contract despite not having stocks of fertilizers, and instead started going around trying to source the commodity from his competitors whom Mr.Jangulo had discredited in an audit he had initiated and influenced.<\/p>\n

Dr. M\u2019membe challenged the New Dawn Government to explain why Mr.Jangulo was allowed to control, direct, manipulate and falsify a fertilizer audit under its supervision and control.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is pure corruption that this government and the state agencies \u2013 ACC, DEC, and the police \u2013 under its control have failed to deal with. Why?<\/p>\n

\u201cOur simple and only explanation is that Jangulo is too close to the key leadership of this government to be touched.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is their partner \u2013 he works and eats with them. Clearly, this government\u2019s fight against corruption has gone down the drain, \u201d Dr. M\u2019membe concluded.<\/p>\n
