ZAMBIA’S FORMER PRESIDENT READY TO BE INVESTIGATED

November 29, 2011

ZAMBIA’S FORMER PRESIDENT READY TO BE INVESTIGATED

By ZAMBIA NEWS FEATURES CORRESPONDENT

 Former President, Rupiah Banda has stated that is ready to be investigated for the alleged missing gold which was allegedly sold to a Swiss businessman Nicolae Bogdan Buzaianu, however according to statement issued by the administrative secretary Mikatazo Wakumelo after October 12 it was recorded that Nicolae Buzaianu had no part in the gold purchase.

“President Banda welcomed the investigations of the sale of gold by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), which was wrongly linked to Dr. Buzaianu. All the relevant people involved in this transaction are available and will provide necessary answers to the investigating team but suffice to say that no gold went missing mysteriously as has been portrayed,” the statement said. Mr Banda’s office also said it was ready to be investigated on the issue of purchasing or alleged missing of vehicles.

“President Banda also welcomes the investigations into this matter as he was not a procurement officer. All the people involved in this matter are around and are still serving even under this administration. So they will provide answers as they are better placed to explain where the missing vehicles are, if at all they are missing,” the statement also said. A number of people are demanding the removal of Mr Banda’s immunity so that he can be investigated for his conduct as head of state. 

The Full Statement:

Following the numerous allegations made against former Republican President, Mr. Rupiah Bwezani Banda, I wish to make clarifications on the following issues:

That Mr. Rupiah Bwezani Banda has a number of friends both in Zambia and outside who have requested to meet him following his gracious exit from the Presidency after the September 20, 2011 elections. Mr. Banda has granted appointments to a number of visitors who have been coming to see him since he left office. To the best of his knowledge, he has not met anyone who is a fugitive.

 That Dr. Buzaianu, a Swiss-based businessman, requested to pay a visit to the former President during his planned trip to Zambia. Dr. Buzaianu applied to the Zambian authorities for permission to land at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport 48 hours before his trip to Zambia and the Zambian Government granted the landing rights to Dr. Buzaianu, who arrived on Wednesday, 12th October, 2011. The purpose of his trip was not to purchase gold but to inform then President Banda that he was stepping down from his post as UNESCO representative.

That a request was made to the Zambian authorities to extend the usual courtesies to Dr. Buzaianu at the airport which was, in fact, done. He was received by a protocol officer at the airport and taken to the VIP lounge while his immigration formalities were done. He did the finger print biometric procedure at the airport before he proceeded to the customs and exited. He spent about one hour and 30 minutes at the airport while doing his formalities.

That all relevant security wings were at the airport when Dr. Buzaianu was doing the usual formalities and at no time did he hide his identity. The former President provided vehicles for his visitor to pick him at the airport together with the state security attached to the former President’s office. President Banda also requested his former press aide Mr. Dickson Jere to receive his guest on his behalf at the airport because his security did not know him.

 That after leaving the airport, Dr. Buzaianu proceeded to the Taj Pamodzi Hotel where he was booked for an overnight stay and did not hide at all. He later paid a courtesy call on President Banda that same day. During his stay at the hotel, Dr. Buzaianu interacted freely with hotel guests and staff.  If Dr Buzaianu was a fugitive as alleged, he would not have been openly moving around. A recent release from President Sata’s confirmed that Nicolae Bogdan Buzaianu is and never on the DEC watch list.

 That the following day, Dr. Buzaianu proceeded to Mfuwe to visit the Chipembele Educational Centre, which he has been supporting as a philanthropic cause. Dr. Buzaianu proceeded in the normal way at the airport and paid his airport taxes before he left Kenneth Kaunda International Airport for Mfuwe International Airport. At Mfuwe Airport, Dr. Buzaianu was cleared in the standard manner as prescribed by the provisions of the Immigration and Deportation Act before he went to visit the school. He flew out the same day with airport permits for his flights from Mfuwe.

 That President Banda welcomes the investigations of the sale of gold by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), which has been wrongly linked to Dr. Buzaianu, so stated Sata’s adminstration. All the relevant people involved in this transaction are available and will provide necessary answers to the investigating team but suffice to say that no gold went missing mysteriously as has been portrayed. Dr.  Buzaianu visited Zambia out of courtesy for his position and to express his interest in the school.

That on the issue of purchasing or alleged missing of vehicles, President Banda also welcomes the investigations into this matter as he was not a procurement officer. All the people involved in this matter are around and are still serving even under this administration. So they will provide answers as they are better placed to explain where the missing vehicles are, if at all they are missing.

That President Banda is available at any given time to answer to any clarification which the current Head of State Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata may have concerning this matter or indeed any issue before they are made public. He remains committed to supporting the current President in order for him to succeed in running the Government. This is the position President Banda took when he made his farewell speech at State House after losing the last elections.

Sikota said Buzaianu had no direct or indirect links to the two companies that bought the gold in question. The realy mystery is with Mr. Banda. Early on Sikota said Buzaianu felt confident that President Sata would take firm action against his officials that misinformed him on the gold issue.

Buzaianu distanziert sich aus dem Kauf von Gold durch Gloria Koko

November 27, 2011

Nicolae Buzaianu, verknüpft der Schweizer Geschäftsmann Präsident Michael Sata zu Unrecht zum “geheimnisvolle Verschwinden” über 118kgs Gold mit dem heutigen Wert mehr als K32 Milliarden kann haben distanzierte sich von Sambia und seine gold-Skandal aber hat vor kurzem eine Goldmedaille von der Kirche von Russland für seine ehrenamtliche Tätigkeit in Osteuropa ausgezeichnet.

 

Was nun den “Gold-Tor” Skandal aufgerufen wird ist eine peinliche Ereignis für Präsident Sata geworden. Wie sie, in Hollywood-Filmen sagen er “Waffen-a-blazing” herauskam und machte alle die falschen Taten auf dem Schweizer Philanthrop basieren, wenn in der Tat Präsident Sata nicht wissen, ob das Gold, um Dr. Buzaianu verkauft wurde oder auch eine Straftat begangen wurde.

 

Ursprünglich hat der Schweizer eingestellt Lusaka Anwalt Sakwiba Sikota, ihm in den Skandal zu verteidigen, der ehemalige Präsident Rupiah Banda, sein Sohn James und eine ehemalige Assistentin, Dickson Jere beteiligt. Dr. Buzaianu hat alle Klagen gegen die sambische Regierung zurückgezogen, da eine offizielle Entschuldigung in seinem Auftrag freigegeben worden ist.

 

In einer kurzen Erklärung Buzaianu, 42, Philanthrop, in Korrespondenz abgerufen, indem die Daily Mail sein Rechtsanwalt, dass das Gold nicht von selbst gekauft wurde, sondern von zwei südafrikanischen Unternehmen er als Gesellschaften Financiere du Seujet SA und Valsior SA genannt bestätigt. Buzaianu kamen in Lusaka Banda bewusst machen, dass er seine UNESCO Post zu anderen gemeinnützigen Unternehmungen nehmen verlassen wurde.

 

Buzaianu erklärte kontinuierlich, war er nicht Teil der “Transaktion”, die gesehen Herr Jere in Frage gestellt durch ein gemischtes Team aus Polizei, Drug Enforcement Kommission (DEC) und Korruptionsbekämpfung Kommission (ACC), Mr. Buzaianu erklärte er fühlte einer Notwendigkeit zu zeigen, dass die “Transaktion völlig richtig,” und “ich nicht an der Transaktion beteiligt und ich habe keine Vorteile erhalten”. Er erklärte weiter, “Ich kam auf eine persönliche Angelegenheit, mit Präsident Banda chat.” Herr Banda bestätigt in einem Aufruf, dass Herr Buzaianu in Lusaka zu diskutieren sein beendet seine UNESCO Post angekommen.

 

Herr Buzaianu erklärt, warum durch seinen Anwalt er “glaubte”, dass die Transaktion “völlig richtig” war die Tatsache, dass sie und nicht ihn, das Gold auf US$ 4.066, 000 gekauft hat er die beiden südafrikanischen Unternehmen in der Schweiz “volle Unterstützung” gezwungen. Ein Brief bestätigt die Buzaianu Erklärung nicht als ein Käufer des Goldes.

 

Keine Ausschreibung implementiert wurde und der Käufer war Einzel-Quellen. Dies ist keineswegs Schuld der Käufer aber Schuld Dec und diejenigen, die die Organisation ausgeführt werden. Der goldene-Skandal brachte viel Verlegenheit auf das Amt des ehemaligen Präsidenten, zwingt ihn zu geben Sie eine Anweisung am 16. Oktober zuzugeben, dass er Buzaianu, kennengelernt hatte, aber, dass seine treffen nicht unheimlich war aber über Buzaianu von seinem UNESCO Posten zurücktreten.

 

Präsident Sata, äußerte jedoch am 12. Oktober Enttäuschung und auch Wut, dass Personen, die verdächtige Zeichen auf eine DEC “Merkliste” in Sambia auf einen Privatjet flog und “sah mein Vorgänger (Rupiah Banda).” Leider Präsident Sata über Sprach und nur angenommenen Buzaianu wurden auf der Überwachungsliste aber nie war.

Buzaianu se distancia da compra de ouro por Gloria Koko

November 27, 2011

 

Nicolae Buzaianu, o empresário suíço Presidente Michael Sata abusivamente ligada ao “desaparecimento misterioso” de sobre 118kgs de ouro com um valor atual de mais de K32 mil milhões de euros podem ter distanciou da Zâmbia e seu ouro escândalo, mas recentemente foi premiado com uma medalha de ouro pela Igreja da Rússia por seu trabalho de caridade na Europa Oriental.

 

O que agora está sendo chamado o escândalo “portão de ouro” se transformou em um evento embaraçoso para Presidente Sata. Como dizem em filmes de Hollywood ele saiu “armas um ardente” e culpou todos os feitos errados sobre a Suíça baseiam filantropo, quando na verdade Presidente Sata não sabia se o ouro foi vendido ao Dr. Buzaianu ou mesmo que um crime foi cometido.

 

Originalmente o nacional suíço contratou advogado Lusaka Sakwiba Sikota para defendê-lo no escândalo que envolveu antigo Presidente Rupiah Banda, seu filho James e Assistente de imprensa ex, Dickson Jere. Dr. Buzaianu retirou todas as ações legais contra a administração da Zâmbia desde que um pedido de desculpas oficial foi lançado em seu nome.

 

Em uma breve explicação Buzaianu, 42, filantropo, confirmada em correspondência obtida pelo Daily Mail de seu advogado que o ouro foi comprado não por si mesmo, mas por duas empresas sul-africanas nomeado como sociedades Financiere du Seujet SA e Valsior SA. Buzaianu chegou em Lusaca para tornar a Banda ciente de que ele estava deixando seu posto da UNESCO para ocupar outros empreendimentos de caridade.

 

Buzaianu continuamente declarou que ele não fazia parte da “operação” que visto Mr. Jere questionada por uma equipe combinada da polícia, Drug Enforcement Comissão (DEC) e da Comissão de luta contra a corrupção (ACC), Sr. Buzaianu declarou ele sentiu a necessidade de demonstrar que a transação “foi perfeitamente correta,” e “eu não participou na transação e não recebi qualquer benefícios”. Ele afirmou ainda que “Cheguei em uma questão pessoal, que foi conversar com o Presidente Banda”. Sr. Banda confirmou em uma chamada que o Sr. Buzaianu chegou a Lusaka para discutir sua sair de seu posto da UNESCO.

 

Sr. Buzaianu explicada através de seu advogado porque ele “acredita” que a transação foi “perfeitamente correta” ele foi compelido as duas empresas sul-africano baseadas na Suíça para dar o “total apoio” ao fato de que eles e não ele, compraram o ouro a US$ 4.066, 000. Uma carta recebida confirmou a explicação do Buzaianu de não ser um comprador do ouro.

 

Nenhum concurso foi implementado e o comprador foi o single-source. Isso é não é culpa de qualquer comprador mas culpa do DEC e aqueles que executar a organização. O escândalo ouro trouxe muito embaraço para o escritório do ex-Presidente, forçando-o a emitir uma declaração em 16 de outubro, admitindo que conheceu Buzaianu, mas que sua reunião não foi sinistro mas sobre Buzaianu a demissão do cargo da UNESCO.

 

Presidente Sata, no entanto, em 12 de outubro expressou decepção e raiva mesmo que pessoas de caracteres suspeitas em uma “lista de observação” dez voaram em Zâmbia em um jato particular e “viram o meu antecessor (Rupiah Banda)”. Infelizmente Presidente Sata sobre falou e apenas assumida Buzaianu estavam na lista de observação, mas nunca foi.
