Government has engaged the anti corruption commission-ACC- to examine the authenticity of possible corruption cases at the citizens economic empowering commission-CEEC.

Commerce minister Bob Sichinga said there are some officers within CEEC that were engaged in dubious activities, when administering the empowerment fund.

Mr Sichinga also said government has engaged the auditor general to conduct a forensic audit on the CEEC fund.

The minister has also directed CEEC to stop receiving or processing new applications from people wishing to access the fund.

He was speaking at a media briefing today.

He also directed CEEC to institute measures to recover all existing loans due, without political interference.

  1. perfect. mmd cadres should now start paying back what they abused during their reign of “tulyemo.” make sure that all former district commissioners and their provincial chairmen are probed as these were used as conduits. all those that own what they cannot account for should be investigated and brought to book. we have seen useless, illiterate chaps lazy fools suddenly become rich overnight for campaigning for mmd.

  2. Very strange indeed and way out of line, Bob. Who is the target now? And why don’t you wait for a COI to be headed by yourself? kekekekeke

  3. Iwe Bob Sichinga, that is the preserve of your boss. Don’t be surprised tomorrow when the Commerce portfolio is transferred to Finance and you become Minister without portfolio. Ask Kambwili, he went to the brink.
