Transparent International Zambia Executive (TIZ) Director, Goodwell Lungu, says his organisation will not relent in exposing corrupt public officers in the country.

Mr Lungu said huge sums of public funds have been abused by greedy and selfish few individuals, a thing he said should be rooted out in Zambia.

He said this today when he featured of the Zambia National Broadcasting Services (ZNBC programme dubbed National Watch on the disbursement of constituency development funds.

He thanked the public for the massive support given to his organisation on the important role it is doing in highlighting irregularities hidden in public offices.

And speaking during the same programme, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Local Government and Housing, Stanford Musichili, said the eight (8) officers suspected of wrong doing his ministry have been suspended to pave way for investigation.

Mr Musichili said no one will be protected at his ministry if found wanting of abusing public funds meant for the Zambian people.

He urged the Auditor General’s office to move in and conduct an internal audit to ascertain what exactly happened involving the suspected abusing of K3 million meant for Rufunsa and Chongwe district councils.

  1. Exposing crimes and corruption that goes unpunished is very costly, please find a way to make sure these crimes are punished, exposing them is useless, don’t forget Zambian’s forget easily. So punishment should be your end goal.

    • Theft and abuse of office is the way of life of the people from the North. Natolafye they say. Expect nothing but more looting. Check what happens in congo, their home country. This is what the colonialists bequeathed the rest of us to live with. People of no shame who loot day, afternoon and night and will insult you if not beat you once you raise alarm. Ba Lungu, watch out – monkeys in the field will bite you.
