Calls For PF To Publish Mwinilunga Gold Scam Findings

Former North-Western Province minister Dawson Kafwaya has demanded that the PF immediately release its findings from investigations into the Mwinilunga gold scam involving the party’s North-Western Province chairman Jackson Kungo. 

Speaking in an interview, Mr Kafwaya called for the PF to publish the results of its investigation into the gold scam, which has implicated several high profile individuals including former police commissioner for North-Western Province Hudson Namachila. 

“They said some team had been sent to Mwinilunga to go and investigate what happened at the mine in Mwinilunga. But up to now, the outcome of that investigation hasn’t been availed to the people. So, people are anxious! They want to know what the outcome was from those investigations,” he said.

The former minister added that the party seemed to be protecting its own members involved in the scam, with provincial chairman Jackson Kungo offered up as a “sacrificial lamb”. 

“There are a lot of people, who are involved in that scam and they should be exposed so that they are known that they were also part of the same syndicate. So, for me, I think Mr Kungo has been sacrificed because we saw a lot of people going there and truly if it was a fact-finding mission about the illegal mining in Mwinilunga, a lot of names, even big names, should have been exposed,” Kafwaya said.
