The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) says it has made progress in investigating allegations of corruption against a company associated to the former first family regarding a contract which was awarded for the rehabilitation works at Livingstone central prison.
ACC public relations manager Timothy Moono has said at a media briefing in Lusaka today to mark the end of the first quarter that arrests for individuals allegedly involved in the matter will soon be made.
Mr. Moono notes that a lot of money was paid to the company in question but that no rehabilitation works have been done up to now.
Mr. Moono has also stated that the Commission is currently working on obtaining mutual legal assistance with the French Government and other jurisdictions in order to facilitate investigations in those countries in the Alstorm group of companies’ case.
This is in case where former senior government officials in the MMD allegedly received bribes to award several contracts to the French company for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure at Kariba North, Kafue Gorge and Victoria Falls hydro power stations.
And Mr. Moono has also disclosed that the commission is also investigating then allegations of corruption regarding the award of a tender by the Road development agency (RDA) to a company that had no capacity to do road works.
He further disclosed that the ACC has also concluded investigating into allegations of corruption in the procurement of the hearses adding that an arrest has been made and the suspect will appear in court soon.
He also confirmed that former local government minister Silvia Masebo who was implicated in the matter has since been cleared.
Mr. Moono added that the allegation in the procurement of oil which allegedly made the country lose K2 trillion will be investigated once the Report that was done by the commission of inquiry has been availed to the Commission.
Meanwhile Mr. Moono has noted that the ACC in the first quarter of this received a total of 517 reports of suspected cases of corruption out of which 369 lacked elements of corruption and as such advice was given on who the matters needed to be handled.
He adds that the Commission also recorded 13 arrests countrywide while 2 convictions and 1 acquittal were also recorded.

Move in quickly please and recover ALL our money that is badly needed in the health and education sectors.
who is that suspect on hearses case why are you hiding his name? since when did Ba ACC started hiding the names of suspects is it because it is not MMD Politician that is why you are hiding the name? You guys be serious what ever u are doing now it will one backfire on your faces bcoz you are jsts being used by politicians
How do you know its not a current/former MMD politician? When did a non-MMD person ever got close to public money during the era of MMD greed and rampant thiefty?
Even in Death, Ben Tetamashimba to me was a hero. He never shyed away from condemning wrong doings. he implicated Sylvia masebo on the hearses. We know she was involved. Im PF but let us Not cover PF officials that were involved in corruption. So who cleared Masebo? Even this unknown un-desclosed official who is he?

Which ‘first family’? There are about four former first families.
Ilya umwaba basakala nyongo !
First family without a name????? wha mention if you dont have balls bamaka imwe?
Sylvia Masebo has been cleared only because she joined PF and is high profile, that’s why we say the investigation of corruption cases is political – not to punish them for their deeds but for their political association.
Poor Thandiwe, she married into the wrong family. She is not even smart enough to have done any stealing on her own. Rupiah put her up to it!
You can say same for Christine kaseba!
Dude. SWEET!! I’m going to have you come shoot my kid! It’s due any day now, which is why I’ve pulled the carema back out and dusted it off. Love that first pic in your stream and a few in this thread. Damn Well done!I’ve just locked down my web page (www.charlesprevitire.com) and I’d love suggestions.Cheers mate.Chuck
You right GENTLEMAN , they could be referring to the USA first family. I always wander the rush with which they announce their incomplete investigations . Finish your work and arrest the culprits, rather than giving a blow by blow stories. The stories won’t put the money back in Fiscus!
With a good constitution in place, the Presidency must be dignified at all timez like it iz in the UK and U.S.A.
We never hear or see any signs of good and honest governance in Zambia. It’s all about dishonesty and crookedness starting from the very top. They betray the people who place them in power. All the deals they sign are dirty and meant to benefit their families and friends. They are so daring that they even involve their sons to swindle the GRZ without shame.
We hope you’ll show the same zeal in investigating the so called oil donation to Malawi and the small matter of 4 million dollar renovation of state house. Or do you have to wait for instructions from the successor to Michael!
I am Quick Draw McGraw. Watch me fire on a moving target while riding my trusted steed in to the realms of…
Oops. Wrong tone.
Watch my octopus hands as I single handedly launch, maintain and complete multiple investigations. My confidence runs so high that I can afford to pause to give a running commentary as my dragnet enters the French territory during mounting election fever. Shake the right tree and le apple will fall.
I’m hooked on Zed drama. Any shrinks in the house?
ACC (Accountants can crook) Who is the official involved in RDA is it the new management?
