Burundi: Minister of Justice, Alfred Ahingejeje pretends bribes doesn’t exist…

“Ministry of Justice, Alfred Ahingejeje recounted how, during unannounced visits, he caught officials counting money with members of the public, a practice far removed from any accounting procedures. He said he pretended not to notice, while asking those involved to correct their behavior. He also denounced payments demanded from detainees appearing in court, sometimes via Lumicash. This statement sounds like an admission of guilt and raises a burning question: what is done when corruption is caught red-handed? Bujumbura — It’s the minister himself writing. Not an opposition figure. Not a rumor. In the WhatsApp group called “Central Administration,” where officials from his department gather, Alfred Ahingejeje claims to have begun visiting various judicial offices. And he describes what he says he saw there. He describes offices where one can enter unannounced and catch a receptionist counting money with the person being served. The minister clarifies that the scene does not take place at the accounting counter, nor in a department authorized to handle funds, much less in a currency exchange. He mentions banknotes that fly out in the shock, others that are hastily gathered up, hidden, or scattered. Then comes the shocking statement. He explains that he pretended not to have seen anything” (FOCODE – ‘Bribes at the Ministry of Justice; the minister catches the money and chooses to turn a blind eye’ 16.02.2026).

It is striking that someone who has been a Member of Parliament for the Cibitoke constituency from 2005 to the 2015. He has later served as Deputy in the East African Community Legislative Assembly in the 4^th Assembly from 2017 to 2022. A lawyer by profession and a man of the CNDD-FDD, which has represented them for years now.

He is one of them and was only appointed recently to the Minister of Justice on the 23^rd January 2026 and now less then a month later his causing controversy. Alfred Ahingejeje, his showing the bad sides of the state and the lack of good governance, and his telling what is happening inside the closed chambers of the Ministry of Judiciary.

Certainly, this isn’t the look that CNDD-FDD wants or need. The CNDD-FDD doesn’t need a scandal or need their ill-will reported on. They rather want this to happen without any knowledge or discussion. It is crazy that the Minister would reveal this on a public WhatsApp group and mention in detail his own experience from within. That’s really rich saying this in a nation of rampant poverty and lacking basic commodities. In a Republic with struggling to get fuel for over three years, as the Executive and the CNDD-FDD lives large. His speaking of these bribes and misuse of funds like it never happened. That’s compelling and says something about what the state is willing to do.

These bribes are done and the ones in the offices of the Ministry of Judiciary are counting it for people to see. That’s what is done and the Minister himself acts like it doesn’t happen. This is a culture and a status quo of how things are getting done. The Courts and the ones under the banner of the Minister are corruptible and bribes are common placed there.

This is a major scandal and shows how things are operating. The CNDD-FDD and such should be alarmed, but we know they are not. As this is just another day and don’t care. They aren’t concerned or in any illusion of this. No, it is just who they are and what they are willing to do.

Money is flying, counted and easily accessible without proper procedure. That’s a sign of rampant corruption and ordinary bribes within the administrative unites of the Ministry of Judiciary. It is just outrageous, but not surprising. Because the rot is evident and there will be no repercussions. He is one of them, but it is an interesting that needs to be told. Peace.

Zambia: Dalitso Lungu has to forfeit 79 vehicles and 23 parcels of land [over dubious family fortune]

“Lusaka | February 9, 2026 – The Economic and Financial Crimes Division of the High Court in Lusaka has ordered the forfeiture to the State of extensive assets worth over ZMW 24 Million belonging to Dalitso Lungu, son of former Republican President the late Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, after finding that the properties were proceeds of crime under Zambia’s forfeiture laws. In a judgment delivered today, the Court held that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had successfully established a case for non-conviction based forfeiture under the Forfeiture of Proceeds of Crime Act No. 29 of 2010. The Interested Parties, who were Dalitso Lungu as the 1st Interested Party and his company Saloid Traders Limited, failed to provide a credible, consistent, and verifiable explanation showing lawful acquisition of the assets. The forfeiture order covers 79 motor vehicles and 23 parcels of land and real estate, including a shopping mall and filling station in Jack Compound, double storey luxury apartments and an executive residence in Salama Park, Lusaka” (National Prosecution Authority – ‘DALISTO LUNGU’S ASSETS FORFEITED TO THE STATE IN HIGH COURT DECISION’ 09.02.2026).

Just as elsewhere, the Head of State and the Executive massively enrich himself and his fellow family members. That was also the case in the regards of the late President Edgar Lungu in Zambia. He used his time in office to get wealth for himself and his closest kin. This cannot be proven and the assets are dubious at best, because there is no proof of acquisitions of the assets in question.

The ones seeing this shouldn’t be shocked, as this is a general problem when a person is the personification of the state. It is a genuine problem as they are misusing the office and their access to funds. In this way the family of the President can find schemes and ways to “loot” the treasury and government funds. That’s why suddenly the ones surrounding the President gets wealthy and has vast amount of resources.

This is just one case, but this is now part of the legacy of Lungu. He did this as a Head of State and Executive. If he hadn’t done what he did, his son wouldn’t have 79 vehicles and 23 parcels of land and real estate. That’s a compelling amount wealth and misuse of power. He clearly moved the assets over to his son and thought it could be inherited. Though it was done by illegal means.

The Patriotic Front (PF) should try to convene and try to force the former first family to address it. Not only act like victims, but take accountability of their corruption and misuse of office. Because they were using their time to get their pockets filled. This isn’t a sign of governance, but a sign of opulence on other people’s dime.

The son is now facing the sins of his father. It is because of his father and the decisions he made while holding the reigns. This is a story in itself and shows what they are willing to do while in office. Edgar Lungu isn’t the only one and surely there are more stories like this. Now his kin has to pay the price, but they ate of other people’s plates and thinking that they were justified. Which isn’t the case and now time caught up on them. Peace.

On Liberation Day: A corruption scandal hits the NRM in Oyam district

“Addressing the press in Lira City on Monday, Nyero Moses, NRM chairperson for Myene sub-county, stated that the ONC coordinator for Oyam must account for over shs7m meant for facilitating youth hired to protect votes for their candidate (now President-elect), Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Nyero said some polling agents were paid – others not. Some were paid shs10,000 as opposed to shs50,000 as facilitation. Edwok Moses, NRM youth chairperson of Oyam district said that with evidence, they were shocked to learn that the director of finance and administration at the Electoral Commission. Cyprian Ogwang was in Oyam on polling day, where he masterminded electoral malpractice. Ogwang, Edwok said, connived with some NRM party leaders, and security officers to “rig the election” and ensure the youth’s target of Museveni getting 95% in Oyam district was not achieved” (The Northern Daily – TDN News Uganda, 26.01.2026).

Some things never fails and that’s greed. The moment of truth and the misuse of office. This is systemic and part of what the President has created over the years. The commercialization of politics embedded with costly patronage is breeding ground for rampant corruption, which isn’t surprising but what to be expected in the Republic.

The youths tale in Oyam district should be a warning. This is small money in the grand scheme of things, but it happens on a larger scale elsewhere. It is telling that someone does this so close to the election and uses the funds on other things. The youths partaking and accepting responsibility wasn’t paid as promised for their efforts. Regardless, if we care for the cause or think it is a just one. Still, they deserve their dues and get their balance. However, that’s not coming here and someone ate their salaries.

This is just what the National Resistance Movement (NRM) does and how it operates. That’s why people does it and gets away with it too. It is just who they are and we shouldn’t be shocked or be thinking otherwise really. The President has promoted these sorts of activities and it’s natural that people far-and-wide is doing it. They see others get away with it and think it’s their turn to get a cut. Because, when other big-men gets their piece, so should I and therein is the problem.

The youths of Oyam district is just a small fraction, but this is how public expenditure is lost. This is how the system is rigged against the civilians and the citizens. As they are used and mocked, meanwhile the elites are eating of their plates. They are supposed to grin and laugh, but they taken for granted and someone else ate their meal on their behalf. That’s what they are doing and we are just supposed to look idly by.

If you think the NRM government and their handlers are honest. Just look and read this story again. It shows their heart and what they are capable of doing. A small time and a part time gig wasn’t even paid in full and someone else took the cash. Youth who did a job and did the hours as stipulated. These people was short-changed, just so one man could get a bounty.

That’s it and this is a reflection of the NRM as a whole and how corruption is a natural part of the party. It is who they are and what they have become. Peace.

Malawi: Official Details of the Vice President’s Visit to the United Kingdom (24.12.2025)

Mabaati Scandal: Lugoloobi skates off with 700 Iron Sheets

“The Anti-Corruption Court has withdrawn all charges against Finance State Minister Amos Lugoloobi in the Karamoja iron sheets case, ending his two-year legal battle. The DPP discontinued the case, and Lugoloobi says the ordeal took a heavy emotional and mental toll” (Jonard Post, 11.11.2025).

“It is alleged in Count 1 that between the 1 4th day of July 2022 and the 28th of February 2023 at the OPM stores at Namanve in Mukono District and at different places in Matugga, Wakiso District and Ntenjeru North Constituency in Kayunga District, he dealt with Government property, to wit:400 pre-painted iron sheets marked “Office of the Prime Minister,” having reason to believe that the said iron sheets were acquired as a result of Loss of Public Property; an offense under Section 10 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act. It is further alleged in Count two that the accused between the 1’t of February 2023 and the 17rh of March 2023 at OPM stores Namanve in Wakiso District and at different places in Matugga, Wakiso District and in Ntenjeru Constituency, Kayunga District dealt with suspect property to wit: 300 pre-painted iron sheets marked” Office of the Prime Minister,” having reason to believe that the said iron sheets were acquired as a result of Loss of Public Property; an offense under the Section 10(1) of the Anti-Corruption Act” Uganda v Lugolobi (Criminal Session 4 of 2023) [2024] UGHCACD 9 (27 November 2024).

The former Finance State minister Amos Lugoloobi has gotten off the hook after partaking in the looting and thieving of Iron Sheets or Mabaati from the Office of the Prime Minister. That’s the gist of it. He was one of the high-ranking officials who took Mabaati sheets, and he ran away with them. These Iron Sheets was intended for the needy in the Karamoja region but instead ended up wherever high-ranking officials saw fit.

Today one man is vindicated for doing so. That’s because of his connections and the state allowing him to do so. His free because the state drops the case, but the iron sheets was still taken from the stockpile and used for other purposes than what it was intended. He personally interfered and used his leverage to do so. This shows the differences between the people who are connected and the ones who’s not.

This Mabaati scandal only shows who is the ones falling on the sword and who are the anointed ones. Because they all took part of it and enriched themselves. They used other people’s and state property for their person gains. These people stole and did practically thieve this away from the needy in Karamoja region. That’s the sinister part of it…

This here shows what the Movement does and how it shields their own. If these people were someone else or was an opposition. He would be in bracelets and never seen the light of day. These was actions done in broad-day-light and they got away with it. They can pin criminal conspiracy and never let the opposition go. However, their own can do criminal actions and steal openly, still they can get off the hook. That’s the gist of this.

So, if the National Resistance Movement ever speaks of or say its eradicating corruption. Well, just look at their record and these sorts of stories. Because there is plenty of them and this is just the last big one of the 11^th Parliament. Peace.

Burundi: President Ndayishimiye calls all corrupt people “murderers”

”He who misappropriates state funds is a murderer. Take an example: the state builds a road, you divert the funds intended for it. Tomorrow, the road deteriorates, vehicles have accidents, people lose their lives… Who killed them? It’s you, who stole the money: you are murderers. It’s the same for those who steal funds meant for purchasing medicines. If there are no more medicines and patients die, who killed them? You, the embezzlers. You are, unknowingly, murderers” – President Evariste Ndayishimiye (25.09.2025).

The quotes of the speech of last week are finally hitting the headlines. President Evariste Ndayishimiye aka General Neva has unleashed his anger upon the corrupt civil servants and high-ranking officials of the state. However, I would think these words are hallow, as we aren’t seeing the inner-circle or anyone close to President caught into the crossfire, because of corruption.

As it is stated:

“Citizens in Burundi face high levels of administrative corruption as they attempt to access services. There is also grand corruption, implicating Burundi’s ruling party CNDD–FDD and actors in the security sector in the large-scale capture of public resources and affecting many sectors such as land, mining, tax administration, customs and monetary policy. These forms of corruption and the illicit financial flows that result contribute to Burundi’s struggling economy and drive other forms of instability in the country” (Vaclav Prusa – ‘Burundi: An overview of corruption and anti-corruption efforts’ 13.06.2024, U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre).

We know the CNDD-FDD are part in the grand-corruption of the Republic. The President most likely shares meals and eats together with people who partake in corrupt practices. Therefore, this speech and warning is just empty rhetoric. Because we know the man won’t challenge his loyalists and people who are surrounding him. No, he will have them there and he won’t touch them. That’s why we know the President only says this but allow corruption to go on simultaneously. Therefore, who is buying this?

Yes, corruption is thieving and stealing of other people’s plate. Yes, the corrupt are destroying and taking away funds, which was supposed to go to state or government programs. That’s why roads aren’t built, and salaries are paid. We all know this, and the President knows this perfectly well. Ghosts are paid on behalf of a living being. We have seen this and it’s so common practice too.

The President and CNDD-FDD can attack the idea of corruption, but we know who is doing it and benefiting from it too. That’s why he knows the murderers and the ones committing the crime itself. He knows who conspires to commit a crime and who earns the coins for doing so. This is why these words aren’t that hard-hitting, because if there was any sincerity…

CNDD-FDD and the President wouldn’t be known for their actions and how they are governing. So, please save the big words and big talk. When in the end… the ones who has the option and has the power won’t stop it. Peace.
