ACC challenged to summon individuals alleging graft in Government

Share

Patriotic Front (PF) Northern Province Chairperson Bwalya Chungu has challenged the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to urgently summon individuals alleging corruption in government so that they can prove their allegations.

Mr. Chungu says it is incumbent upon the ACC officers to ensure that they establish facts and details about the alleged corrupt practices by the claimants.

Speaking to ZANIS in Luwingu today, the Patriotic Front Northern Province Chairperson noted with concern the tendency by some ‘ disgruntled’ politicians who are busy smearing propaganda about corruption without evidence to substantiate their claims.

Mr. Chungu has since urged those alleging that there is corruption in government to provide tangible proof to law enforcement agencies so that the law can take its course against the culprits.

And Mr. Chungu, who is also Lupososhi Member of Parliament, said people should not use politics to dent the image of those in government.

He advised those who do not agree with the ideals of the PF to leave the ruling party peacefully unlike causing unnecessary confusion.

Mr. Chungu pointed out that PF government remains committed to improving the lives of Zambians by taking development to all corners of the country.

He further said there were numerous tangible developmental projects being implemented by government across the country hence the need for well-meaning Zambians to rally behind the PF administration.

  1. corruption perception will eventually devour pf. take decisive corrective measures. auditor general’s report can be your starting point before you get to 42-42 and 50-288

  2. DOES IT TAKE A PARTY CADRE TO TELL ACC WHAT TO DO? HONESTLY SPEAKING IF I WORKED FOR THE ACC I WOULD BE AFTER EVERY WHISPER SPOKEN ABOUT SOMEONE TO GET FACTS.

  3. What evidence is Bwalya Chongu looking for can’t they start by pursuing the team that were involved in the procurement of the fire tenders. That is tangible evidence. What manner of tangible evidence are PF looking for which can be more tangible than the fire tenders?

  4. I pity the ACC as their hands are tied. No matter how much evidence is provided to the (ACC), no action is taken particularly when the suspects are politically exposed individuals.
