Chiefs and Traditional Affairs minister Inonge Wina has reiterated the Patriotic Front [PF] government’s deliberate prioritization of the fight against graft.
ZANIS reports from Kalabo, the Ms. Wina said since corruption undermined national development in the previous government, it was the reason that the PF government has prioritized the fight against graft.
“The bottom line was that the PF government was ushered in by poor people as most of the rich people and intellectuals had aligned themselves to the MMD and the UPND, ” she said.
The Minister said this when she addressed government officials in the Council Chamber in Kalabo last Friday.
Mrs. Wina said that the PF government was following up corrupt individuals and government officials especially in the previous government to account for what they did.
She explained that that government first wants to strengthen capacity of policy implementers in councils and villages and then enhance development in the nation.
” Government was looking forward to open up infrastructure such as improving the road network first and has not yet started with the railway adding that even some dredgers were also already in some areas to clear and deepen some rivers and canals in order to improve water transport, ” she said.

The PF Government has since being elected into office on September 20, 2011 made drastic measures such as the the re-introduction of the removed corruption clause in the Anti- Corruption Commission Act (ACC) and the questioning and arrests of senior government officials of the former MMD government.

VERY IRRELEVANT TO THE DISCOURSE ….
Can Mrs Wina tell us what her party is doing for WP? Â Where are the development projects? Â What has happened to the Mongu-Kalabo Road that Sata promised he would complete in 90 days?
Chiefs and Traditional Affairs minister ……………hahahahahaha i have never heard of such a ministry,what does it do? It reminds me of vendor’s desk at state house,so funny really i cant help laughing.
Mdm Wina, you’re a lame duck Minister!
This woman speaks sense.
BUT WHY IS THE FIGHT CURRENTLY RESTRICTED TO MMD
Because they were thieves; basakala nyongo who sold Zamtel for a song, and got a cut. Next question please!
yes BO INONGE just keep low.After you managed to get them votes from Baroste ,they give you that useless ministry.it has no structure at national,provicial or district level.Even the H/quarters in Lusaka is not known.
Was everything promised for 90 days? Or you guys just want to bring 90 days into the argument. The Mongu Kalabo road will certainly be constructed
Back bencher your point may some how make sence why have a ministry which has no structure.It is a brief case ministry.Where are the offices stuated in lusaka.Who is the PS is she also a chief.I wonder madam wina has ever travelled outside since she became a president.
Our police are still very corrupt! Please King Cobra, take note of that and do something.I don’t mind if you have to blast their boss in public. He must make sure his charges are corruption free!
What a ministry??
