MUNDUBILE AND MAKEBI CONDEMN THE LOOTING OF PUBLIC RESOURCES
Brian Mundubile, the presidential candidate for the National Restoration Party (NRPUP), said that the recent delays in payments and maize purchases from farmers were orchestrated by a “criminal enterprise” embedded within the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND).
Speaking to the media, Mundubile claimed that this illicit network operated through Eagle Milling, a company purportedly established as a front to siphon public funds.
According to Mundubile, this scheme involved a roster of senior UPND officials including parliamentary speakers, former ministers, members of parliament, and media directors associated with the party.
He argued that these cadres were fraudulently obtaining mealie-meal supplies from Eagle Milling, thereby draining resources meant for farmers and the wider public.
Additionally, Mundubile pointed to a troubling escalation in the political climate under the UPND administration.
He said the party had shifted from fostering a culture of using pangas—machetes used as weapons—symbolized by the so-called Mapatizya formula, to openly brandishing guns at recent NRPUP rallies across the nation. This, he suggested, marked a dangerous deterioration in political conduct and security.
Echoing these concerns, Mundubile’s running mate, Makebi Zulu, accused President Hakainde Hichilema of corruption, equating him with the civil servants engaged in undermining the democratic process during elections.
Zulu contended that these officials were complicit in attempts to subvert the will of the people.
