It appears that there is no shortage of political revelations for Zambians these days. In the midst of former President Banda's sons being scrutinized for questionable purchases before the elections, the new President's son Mulenga Sata, is now at the center of controversy following revelations by Committee of Citizens executive director Gregory Chifire that he recently acquired two expensive vehicles worth 1.8 billion Zambian Kwacha (about $200,000).

Zambians weigh in on the revelation at Zambian Watchdog website:Mpimpa says:

True to the PF political slogan of more money in your pockets, We have not seen this money, we still go to bed having only eaten one meal, and yet our neighbours are buying luxury cars at 1 billion. What an example Mr. President. Please walk the talk this is inclusive of your immediate family. God have Mercy on us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KimZ adds:

Mukanwa mukikopo,then why are we questioning RB’s sons if we know that they have that privelledge of acquiring property as children of the sitting President? Or just because it’s done by the son to the man you love so it’s normal? Right now,people are demonising Liato over K2.1 billion and Liato has been a Minister for a long time.Mulenga,whose father has not even clocked 90 days in Office has so far spent K 1.8 billion. You can imagine how much he will spend by the time his father has ruled this country for 5 years.

The article notes that Mulenga's primary occupation was as an importer of dogs for the Zambian market and so Sipho humorously weighs in:

naine ndeya muku order ama puppies kuti wa wina!!! [translation: Even I will start importing dogs, maybe I can win/become rich].

On a more serious note, Kabanshi laments:

Its sad to see that just because the father is president he has no right to own such a car,if a person like me owns such nobody would know whats happening,i this this publication along with some of the people that comment should show maturity in the way they discus matters of national interest.Normally you read very lousy comments that don’t make sense at all and just because people have an audience every Jim and jack thinks they have news .This man who calls himself a leader of this NGO that i have heard of today for the first time will just bring stories that he probably was discussing with friends in the bar and of course this paper thinks everything is right without credible sources .Shame!!!

Black Doyo defends Sata's son:

Poeple get your facts right! mulenga is a higly qualified civil engineer. this guy is learned.

Netizens have also been reacting to an unprecedented move in Zambian politics after the the president implored law enforcement agencies in the country to investigate his son and encouraged Mr Chifire to report any suspected unlawful activity linked to the first family to the relevant law enforcement agencies.

Discussing this on Tumfweko.com, Tumbo Tumbo says:

President Sata has done what RB and other Presidents can never do. Subjecting his own son to DEC and Police is commendable. Chifire must be very careful, just like some blogs which judge others in newspapers without those accused having an opportunity to respond or defend themselves. MULENGA Sata is a gentleman.

I hope Chifire has evidence.

HE Sata must also tell and reveal to the nation what has happened to the report he asked about from Cabinet, and investigating wings about DR MITI whose appointment was revoked within 24 hours of being appointed as Ambassador to WHO, Geneva. A Public feedback to Zambians is crucial just like his own Son, MULENGA. We have a reliable, fearless President in HE Sata. Let Miti and MULENGA be cleared from the investigating wings of GRZ!!! Publicly!!!

Mulenga, through his lawyers, has given Gregory Chifire 48 hours to apologise or take him to court. Chifire says that he is not intimidated and is just waiting for the police to call him so that he can go and tell them what he knows.

Inaonekana kwamba hakuna uhaba wa Aya ya kisiasa ya Wazambia siku hizi. Katikati ya zamani ya Rais wana Banda kuwa kuchunguzwa kwa ajili ya ununuzi kuhojiwa kabla ya uchaguzi, mwana Rais mpya wa Mulenga Sata, sasa ni katikati ya utata Aya zifuatazo na Kamati ya Wananchi mkurugenzi mtendaji Gregory Chifire kwamba hivi karibuni ilinunua magari mawili yenye thamani ya 1.8 ghali Kwacha ya Zambia bilioni (karibu $ 200,000).

Wazambia kupima katika juu ya ufunuo katika shirika la Zambia tovuti: Mpimpa anasema:

Kweli kwa PF kauli mbiu ya kisiasa ya fedha zaidi katika mifuko yako, Hatujaona hili fedha, bado kwenda kulala baada ya kula mlo mmoja tu, na bado majirani zetu ni kununua magari ya kifahari kwa bilioni 1. Ni mfano Mheshimiwa Rais. Tafadhali kutembea majadiliano huu ni umoja wa familia yako mara moja. Mungu na rehema juu yetu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KimZ anaongeza:

Mukanwa mukikopo, basi kwa nini sisi wana RB ya kuhoji kama sisi kujua kwamba wana kuwa privelledge ya kupata mali kama watoto wa Rais kukaa? Au tu kwa sababu ni kufanyika kwa mwana wa mtu, upendo hivyo ni kawaida? Hivi sasa, watu ni demonizing Liato zaidi ya bilioni K2.1 na Liato amekuwa Waziri wa time.Mulenga muda mrefu, ambao baba hana hata siku 90 clocked katika Ofisi ya hadi sasa wametumia K bilioni 1.8. Unaweza kufikiria ni kiasi gani yeye kutumia wakati baba yake ametawala nchi hii kwa miaka 5.

Makala maelezo kwamba Mulenga ya kazi ya msingi ilikuwa kama kuingiza ya mbwa kwa ajili ya soko ya Zambia na hivyo Sipho humorously uzani kwa:

naine ndeya ili muku ama puppies Kuti wa wina! [Tafsiri: Hata mimi kuanza kuagiza mbwa, labda naweza kushinda / kuwa matajiri].

Katika hali ya mbaya zaidi, Kabanshi analaumu:

Yake ya kusikitisha kuona kwamba kwa sababu baba ni rais yeye hana haki ya kumiliki gari vile, kama mtu kama mimi anamiliki hakuna vile kujua whats kinachotokea, i hili chapisho hili pamoja na baadhi ya watu kwamba maoni wanapaswa kuonyesha ukomavu katika njia ya wao discus masuala ya kitaifa interest.Normally kusoma maoni lousy sana ambayo hayana maana kabisa na kwa sababu tu watu kuwa na watazamaji kila Jim na jack anadhani wana habari hii mtu anajiita kiongozi wa NGO hii. kuwa i na habari za leo kwa mara ya kwanza tu kuleta hadithi kwamba pengine alikuwa kujadili na marafiki katika bar na bila shaka mada hii anadhani ni haki ya kila kitu bila vyanzo vya kuaminika aibu.!

Black Doyo inatetea mwana Sata wa:

Poeple kupata ukweli wako wa kulia! Mulenga ni higly waliohitimu mhandisi. guy hii ni kujifunza.

Netizens pia wamekuwa Akijibu hoja isiyokuwa ya kawaida katika siasa baada ya rais wa Zambia mkimuomba vyombo vya kutekeleza sheria katika nchi ya kuchunguza mtoto wake na moyo Mr Chifire na ripoti yoyote ya shughuli kinyume cha sheria watuhumiwa wanaohusishwa na familia ya kwanza kwa vyombo vya kutekeleza sheria husika.

Kujadili hii kwa Tumfweko.com , Tumbo Tumbo anasema:

Rais Sata amefanya RB na Marais wengine hawawezi kufanya. Subjecting mwana wake mwenyewe kwa Desemba na Polisi ni pongezi. Chifire lazima kuwa makini sana, kama blogs baadhi ambayo hakimu wengine katika magazeti bila ya wale wanaotuhumiwa kuwa na nafasi ya kujibu au kujitetea wenyewe. Mulenga Sata ni muungwana.

Natumaini Chifire ana ushahidi.

HE Sata lazima pia kuwaambia na kuonyesha kwa taifa nini kilichotokea na ripoti aliuliza juu ya kutoka kwa Baraza la Mawaziri, na uchunguzi mabawa DR MITI ambaye uteuzi kimebatilishwa ndani ya masaa 24 ya kuteuliwa kuwa Balozi wa WHO, Geneva. Maoni ya umma kwa wananchi wa Zambia ni muhimu tu kama Mwana wake mwenyewe, Mulenga. Tuna kuaminika, hawaogopi Rais katika HE Sata. Miti Hebu na Mulenga kuondolewa kutoka mbawa uchunguzi wa GRZ! Hadharani!

Mulenga, kupitia wanasheria wake, ametoa Gregory Chifire masaa 48 kuomba radhi au kumpeleka mahakamani. Chifire anasema kwamba yeye si kutishiwa na ni haki ya kusubiri kwa kumwita polisi ili aweze kwenda na kuwaambia yale anajua.
