Former president Frederick Chiluba has asked German ambassador to Zambia Erich Kristof to leave him alone and stop talking about his corruption court case. Speaking through his deputy administrative secretary Emmanuel Mwamba, Chiluba said the Zambian government should censure Ambassador Kristof for commenting on his case including the disappearance of former intelligence chief Xavier Chungu and former Zambia's ambassador to the United States Attan Shansonga. He said he was worried by Ambassador Kristof's comments. "Their comments are undermining justice," Chiluba said. "That shows that they (diplomats) are controlling and determining both the pace and outcome of the trials."
