Govt. warns would-be plunderers

Share

Vice President George Kunda has warned that government will take stern action against public service workers found involving themselves in corrupt practices.

Vice President Kunda sounded the warning during the Movement for Multi-Party (MMD) card renewal exercise at Mansa College of Education yesterday.

Mr. Kunda, who is also MMD Senior Trustee, said government has strengthened the investigation wings to deal with public service workers involving themselves in corrupt practices.
He said all those found feasting on public funds, money laundering and committing other financial offences would be brought to book.

Mr. Kunda said government wants to ensure that the living standards of all the people of Zambia are improved through infrastructure development such as the construction of schools, good roads and the provision of better health services.

He said for all the development programs to be successful, civil servants and other public service workers should support government in serving the people of Zambia and uphold government’s good image in accordance with their pledge.

Mr. Kunda further said government has set aside about K600 million in this year’s budget for the survey of the workers’ houses at the closed former Mansa Batteries before selling them to sitting tenants who used to work for the company.

On agriculture, the Vice President said all the provinces in the country have started receiving allocations of fertilizer under the Fertilizer Support Program (FSP).
He said government is encouraging farmers to cultivate cassava, millet, sorghum and rice which are drought resistant and require no fertilizer.

Mr. Kunda added that government will restock fish in Lake Bangweulu and Lake Mweru in Luapula province.

  3. I was also wondering whether the “Would-be-plunderers” are the upcoming plunderers. In short plunderers are multiplying day and night like the way cells split and multiply.

  4. On Mr. Kunda, who is also MMD Senior Trustee, said government has strengthened the investigation wings to deal with public service workers involving themselves in corrupt practices, this is good and continue with this spirit. If you need more help even in terms of man power, I am available to help.

    On “He said government is encouraging farmers to cultivate cassava, millet, sorghum and rice which are drought resistant and require no fertilizer. Mr. Kunda added that government will restock fish in Lake Bangweulu and Lake Mweru in Luapula province.“, such is what I am hoping to be reading from you and the MMD GRZ as opposed to seeing or hearing your MMD comments on the UPND-PF PACT and its leaders.

    Have a blessed day.
