Transparency International Zambia has expressed deep concern at the lack of progress and public updates on the numerous Commissions of Inquiry that the PF Government had commissioned.
TIZ Executive Director Goodwell Lungu in a statement to the media has said that government should take action on the various recommendations that were made by the Commissions of Inquiry.
Mr Lungu has further challenged government to state clearly if at all the Commissions of inquiry were a waste of tax payer’s funds so that such are not repeated in future. He said that it is important that the PF does not become a paper tiger which culture the previous MMD government promoted.
He added that the TIZ and Zambians are quite eager to start seeing tangible results in the fight against corruption.
Mr Lungu said that during the MMD rule in particular the last three years, Zambia became a strong paper tiger in that most recommendations for instance from the Auditor General’s reports just ended on paper without action.
He said that the PF Government, in particular the law enforcement agencies should realize that Zambia has continued to lose public funds that are supposed to uplift the standard of living for the citizens due to a few unscrupulous individuals who think they are untouchables and can continue abusing public funds at will, since there are no deterrent mechanisms of catching up with them.
He stated that TIZ will continue to monitor the current PF Government to ensure that the political will provided by the head of state does not just mean mere rhetoric but translated into tangible and visible action.
Mr Lungu said that TIZ is concerned that government has not acted with the same speed and zeal to recommendations of Commissions of Inquiry,citing the case of the ZRA commission of Inquiry, the oil procurement commission inquiry and the NAPSA Commission of inquiry.

A judge Chikopo alibwanji panthawi ino? Kodi akali kupedzeka ku pamodzi hotel?
Ya ya ya iyo nkhani iyo!!!!!!!!!!
The question is can the bugger still read?
The answer is noooooooo! So why expect more than we bargained for. We voted for a clown to entertain us and insult his ministers, make elderly bwana’s kneel down, turn bazungu into chola boys, insult widows etc. TIZ and other NGO’s are to blame for the calamity and embarassment that now befalls this nation. Abash the senile imbecile.
PF IS BECOMING STUPID. AS A CIVIL SERVANT I EXPECTED A LOT FROM THEM BUT THEY HAVE EVEN TAKEN AWAY THE TRANSPORT WHICH USED FERRY US TO AND FROM HOME. THEY ARE PAYING THEMSELVES FUEL ALLOWANCES OF MORE THAN 3MILLION WHILE A POOR ME IS GETTING 180,000 AS TRANSPORT ALLOWANCES. OTHERS ARE STILL USING GOVERNMENT VEHICLES USING THE “COMING LATE AND KNOCKING OFF EARLY STRATEGY” LET THEM CONTINUE LOOSING, THESE FOOLS. US CIVIL SERVANTS ARE NOT HAPPY
Ba Lungu nabena… what do you expect from a disorganized government. The PF government is organized as Chipolopolo football team under Herve Renard, playing strikers in defense, and injured and off market players all featuring as long as he knows they by name. these players can find jobs in PF cabinet

The chap is the most unpresidential species this side of the equator since Amin.Atleast Bob Mugabe had a run good governance and was a toast of the western nations until he said he wanted to give land back to his people.Abash the senile imbecile sooner rather than later before all hell breaks loose. How do you hope to go anywhere with a govt that has no direction. if the head is more rotten than his teeth then the body will soon rot as well.
Ok. So TIZ has finally woken up. These Commissions were questioned by many Zambians at the time Lungu and his TIZ chose to sing choruses for Pathetic Failures. Good that reality has eventually dawned on them.
These (CI) are just ways of embezzling public resorces by Pathetic Fools. Nothing will come out this nonsense mark my words!
Iwe Badwell Lungu and your outfit are part of this Pathetic Failures. Just accept that your lot have failed to govern being the serial failures that you are. No need to point fingers when you are in this together.
the monies spent wpuld have gone to Hone college, when your children protest you whip and cage them.
Lungu, you supported this party all the way into sate house. You should meet them and ask them to improve, since we have them till 2016. Commissions of Inquiry were just in place to put money in the pockets of people with right names from the South, sorry from ………..
The Auditor General’s report is misunderstood. I am surprised that TIZ does not know what it means. The AG report does not mean that people are corrupt or steal money, it just means that the government departments may not be spending within the limitations of budget allocation by parliament. This is likely to be the case as long as there is not enough money or the people who write budgets get it wrong. As for receipts getting lost, this is natural. There may be a few personal gains here and there but we shouldn’t expect much to come out of it.
