Dr Hosea, Feleshi targeted
Dr. Hosea. A group of politicians and traders who benefited from shady deals executed during the third phase regime are now planning a secret mission targeting the anti-corruption czar and the Director of Public Prosecutions, The Guardian on Sunday has learnt.
The group first launched the plan to bring down those investigating them for corruption - mainly Dr Edward Hosea of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) - early last year, before it was detected by the intelligence community. Intelligence officials have since written a report on the issue and are monitoring the group.
Both Dr Hosea and Feleshi told The Guardian on Sunday this week that they were aware of what they described as a smear campaign to discredit their integrity and credibility, but it wouldn´t deter them from doing their jobs.
``I am aware of the plan but this is my country and I am ready for anything,`` Dr Hosea said. ``I can`t be intimidated by bastards; their days are numbered as their evils are thoroughly investigated.
Some senior officials in the ruling party who declined to be named told The Guardian on Sunday that the group would try to tie Dr Hosea and Feleshi to corruption allegations of their own, and to show that the two officials have favoured or excused corrupt leaders who share their ethnic background.
Dr Hosea, Feleshi and Director of Criminal Investigations Robert Manumba all belong to the Sukuma tribe and grew up in the same region.
