Two cabinet ministers, Ndelu Seretse, Phandu Skelemani and BDP chairman and former minister, Daniel Kwelagobe, have submitted affidavits in an application to the High Court saying Nchindo did nothing wrong at Nchindo and Gloconda Properties and that the state has no interest in the ongoing criminal case.
Ironically, first to depose to an affidavit was the Minister of Defence, Justice and Security, Ndelu Seretse, under whose portfolio the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP)falls. This has elicited a ferocious reaction from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, which fell short of calling the ministers busybodies who want to defeat the ends of justice. "Some time after assuming the office of Minister of Lands and housing, it did come to my attention that Tourism Development Consortium (TDC) had applied for and had been granted plot 55720. TDC had thereafter successfully applied for the conversion of the land to mixed use and also for the sub-division thereof.
