The raid by law enforcement agencies on the Esther Lungu Foundation Trust is shameful and uncalled for, says former Lands and Natural Resources minister Jean Kapata.
Ms Kapata said the raid is meant to embarrass innocent people such as Ms Lungu, including the former First Lady’s office.
In an interview in Lusaka, Ms Kapata said the raid is a witch hunt and should be condemned by Zambians.
Ms Kapata explained that the First Lady’s Office receives a lot of donations from well-wishers – local and international.
She said the former First Lady’s Office should be respected and it is unfortunate that law enforcers could be the first ones to break the law.
She said the move by the law enforcement agencies is a sad one and should be condemned.
Ms Kapata wondered where the country is heading because there was too much hate in the nation.
“It is very unfortunate that the former First Lady’s office, Ms Lungu, could be raided by law enforcers who are the custodian of law, it is shameful and uncalled for because the office receives a lot of donations from society,” said Ms Kapata.
Recently, law enforcement agencies comprising the Anti-Corruption Commission, Drug Enforcement Commission and Zambia Police raided the foundation and broke the lock to a container only to find wheelchairs inside.
