Frederick Chiluba
“Frederick Chiluba, the former President of Zambia, has been found guilty by a British High Court judge of plundering £23 million from his people. He used the stolen money to indulge his taste for clothes, jewellery, cars, luxury homes and handmade high-heeled shoes to boost his 5ft height. His people, meanwhile, were struggling to live on an average of 50p a day…Frederick Chiluba had a worldwide reputation as being a smart and expensive dresser. He had his own stylish suits with his initials, FJT, monogrammed on them, a large number of specially made signature shoes and thousands of monogrammed shirts.”
Is he going to jail?

It is so sad to read of morally bankrupt African leaders like this “fine boy” here. Where is their conscience?

By the way, Archbishop Peter Akinola was in the news here in the States lately. Bookmarks:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. […]

definately, our president, wether he likes it or not, will be compelled to make chiluba an example for future leaders and also to make a statement that he himself, being a lawyer; state council, (the president of zambia) has a low tolerance for “corrupt boys”.
