Center for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) is holding a vigil at Capital Hill where the group is demanding for the resignation of the Attorney General, Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda, for failing to recover K750 million from Barkaat Foods in the UK.
The executive director for CDEDI, Sylvester Namiwa in an interview has said that they are going to maintain the vigil until there is proof that the funds were recovered or the AG must resigns.
“Our eyes are fixed on the ball which is the recovery of the K750 million, either that or the AG must resign,” Namiwa said.
Namiwa said that the AG made a commitment on his own accord that he was going to recover the money which means that even he agrees that that the transaction was faulty so, there is no point backtracking now.
Namiwa added that at the moment the AG is creating an impression that the transaction was not problematic which in itself, is a problematic turn of events.
According to Namiwa, the vigil will end when their demands are met.
