In its editorial of Sunday September 28, the Post Newspaper continued its attack against Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda (ABC) by again citing the illegally recorded conversation of the minister and the Post's 'Other Person'. The paper eulogises Dr. Scott and even has, on their front page, a headline reading: "Luapula backs Scott", and continues to label ABC as a man without morals and absurdly asks if "Chikwanda has usurped presidential powers by the back door", whatever that means. All this is based on private, privileged and confidential home discussions which the Post illegally recorded.
The paper downplays its grievous violation of the country's laws by invading an individual's privacy and now making a fortune through selling such illegally acquired information. Funny enough the editorial says ABC should not question the morality of the illegal recordings which invaded his privacy but should rather apologise. As absurd as this may sound to any sane person, that is what the paper said! It's grossly absurd, silly, and strange, that the Post, which clearly has a case to answer here, is telling the nation that its conduct and behaviour should not be questioned because they feel they are doing Zambians a favour by "giving the Zambian people an opportunity to see through Chikwanda".
