Siavonga District Commissioner (DC) Emily Striedl has urged Law Enforcement Agencies to initiate a framework that will strengthen their fight against corruption in the country.
Ms. Striedl said that a strong framework would enhance the Law Enforcement Agencies to have better ways to fight against corruption in the country.
She was speaking in a speech read on her behalf by Siavonga District Council Deputy Planner Charity Kayombo when she officially closed a four day workshop for Commonwealth In-Country Capacity Building for Governance Oversight Institutions.
The event was sponsored by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and Commonwealth Secretariat in Siavonga.
Ms. Striedl said the Law Enforcement Agencies coordination in the fight against corruption in the country is not effective at the moment. She said it was important that the Law Enforcement Agencies coming up with a framework of strong coordination would also help in fighting corruption at a faster rate hence making the country a better place to live in.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Secretariat Adviser Roger Koranteng pledged the Commonwealth Secretariat support to Zambia in the fight against corruption.
Dr. Koranteng said the Commonwealth Secretariat is keen to see corruption in Zambia come to an end.He urged the Law Enforcement Agencies that attended the workshop to put into practice what they discussed and deliberated.
