FORMER Zambian cabinet and deputy ministers recently dismissed by President Frederick Chiluba, on Thursday apologised to the nation for causing untold suffering to Zambians over the last 10 years under Chiluba’s leadership. Addressing a national development review forum in Lusaka on Thursday, the spokesperson of the group, former Labour minister Edith Nawakwi admitted that the former ministers were also party to wrongs committed by government. On his part, former Local Government and Housing minister Ackson Sejani charged that Zambia was in a leadership crisis because of “greed and selfishness.” Chiluba’s government is increasingly coming under pressure to dissociate itself from recent corruption reports leaked by the independent Post newspaper. The Post has in recent weeks exposed corruption scandals in government and has published full copies of reports confirming the existence of corruption. – Pana
