We can categorically state that Mr. Hakainde Hichiliema does not own, nor is he a trustee of, Saturnia Regna Pension Fund, as has been reported by various media outlets including ZNBC, the Daily Mail and the Daily Nation.

He has nothing to do with the fund and we find it offensive that individuals appear to be exploiting this case for political advantage in a desperate attempt to divert attention away from the PF’s poor track record in office.

Furthermore, we understand that the trustees of the fund itself will be issuing a statement in due course to clarify their own position.

The public media that reported this story without checking their facts must remember it is their duty to be non-partisan in their reporting.

We are saddened that our opponents would rather talk rumour and gossip than policies and plans and suggest that the PF returns its focus to the billions of kwacha government currently owes unpaid Zambian pensioners as a matter of urgency.

Stephen Katuka

UPND Secretary General

  1. No need even to respond. Even if he was a Trustee or Shareholder he is not personally responsible for disbursement of Pensions.
