FORMER lands minister Reverend Gladys Nyirongo has said God will vindicate her of her alleged involvement in corrupt practices. And Rev Nyirongo said she was not bitter and that with or without being in Cabinet made no difference to her. In an interview, Rev Nyirongo said God was in total control of her life and that she had continued to enjoy life outside Cabinet. "You can see how I'm laughing. The breath doesn't change whether you are in Cabinet or not. Life is the same so there is no difference. Life continues, God is in control, I'm still the MP (member of parliament), I'm still Gladys...God will vindicate me," she said.

Rev Nyirongo said there was nothing she could do that would make people believe her but that God was on the throne. "The problem is that you have judged me already you The Post. There is nothing I can say that will make people change their minds," said Rev Nyirongo. Rev Nyirongo said she was not bitter at her dismissal from Cabinet. President Levy Mwanawasa recently dismissed Rev Gladys Nyirongo as lands minister for her alleged involvement in corrupt practices.

According to records obtained at the Ministry of Lands, Rev Nyirongo obtained a plot, property number Lus/35386 on April 13, 2006 measuring 0.165 hectares in her maiden name, Gladys Zitha. And on the same date, her husband Jim Nyirongo also obtained property number Lus/35387, next to Rev Nyirongo also measuring 0.165 hectares. Records also show that her son Davy Nyirongo was offered property number Lus/36120.

Eagle,

" why not learn from the so called vulture fund guys how to get yours back and extra. "

I think that is not a bad idea.

Also, when the mines were sold, why did the state not covertly buy back similar or bigger mines in other African countries going through the same IMF decreed 'privatisation' process?
