This is contained in a letter which has been signed by CDEDI Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa, and has been addressed to President Lazarus Chakwera.

In a letter, Namiwa has expressed serious concerns regarding Kapondamgaga’s alleged involvement in a bribery scandal connected to UK businessman Zuneth Sattar.

This comes as the UK’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court is currently hearing a case in which Kapondamgaga is accused of accepting a bribe from Sattar.

According to Namiwa, the President’s ongoing association with Kapondamgaga undermines his commitment to combating corruption and raises doubts about his dedication to accountability.

Additionally, CDEDI is questioning why Kapondamgaga has not been arrested, especially after he returned a Mercedes Benz S-Class 350d and K70,150,670, which were mentioned by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in a letter responding to Youth and Society (YAS).

Namiwa has further stated that Kapondamgaga’s role as State House Chief of Staff represents a public trust, and his alleged corruption jeopardizes the integrity of that position.

In this regard, he has urged President Chakwera to prioritize the fight against corruption by removing Kapondamgaga from office until his name is cleared.
