Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Stanley Kakubo was one of the best Ministers in this government. He was solid, sober and well spoken, when representing Zambia on the international arena. For his perfomance, it\u2019s sad to see him go.<\/p>\n

But then, on the integrity question, he had to go. It\u2019s tragic how so many gifted people are brought down by that side of things. Money and sex being the top claimants of the world\u2019s top talent.<\/p>\n

With Kakubo, his issue is very much a civil case. He is accused of crooking business partners. That amateur story of renting out one property or selling a piece of land to more than one person. It always boggles my mind how anyone expects to get away with that.<\/p>\n

There is, however, a second extremely serious side to the former Minister\u2019s alleged shenanigans. It is tax evasion. No Minister should handle the amounts Mr Kakubo is being accused of, in cash.<\/p>\n

Read the Financial Intelligence Centre Reports, and see the millions, in dollars, that Zambia loses because powerful people and entities just do not pay the tax we need to buy medicines and improve our education. It is a cancer that must be seriously punished when identified.<\/p>\n

Back to Kakubo being an able Minister in a Cabinet where a few should have long gone, I am reminded of one of the most brutally honest statements I\u2019ve heard in my life.<\/p>\n

A friend lost a brother-in-law in a car-crash. He was known to be a good husband to her sister.<\/p>\n
