Good that he has been brought before the law. However, the rot starts from the same Provincial Accounting Unit. Let the joint investigation team go for some of those accounting staff. Their names and activities of plunder are well known within Mongu. They bought cars like pairs of socks and built houses overnight. They led a false but flashy life, plundering public funds. Now that PF has shown a semblance of seriousness in fighting corruption, let them sweep that unit clean.
Another George mpombo nabbed. Lets clean the mess.
interesting ati another george mpombo…by way where is george mpombo?
How come these guest houses and lodges have their receipts being so easily “forged”? Is it that their employees connived with this individual? I can’t imagine that the accused has been printing all these receipts for subsequent use all by himself.
