Zesco Managing Director Victor Mundende says the institution has managed to reduce corruption from 15 percent in 2000 to about 2.5 percent in 2017.
Mr. Mundende says this shows that the integrity programme against corruption which the corporation has implemented is bearing fruit.
He says the company has resolved not to relent in preventing all forms of corruption in line with government policy of zero tolerance to corruption.
Mr. Mundende was speaking during the official opening of the Zesco integrity programme awareness in Lusaka.
And Zesco acting Senior Manager Legal Nancy Sikazwe said the role of the Zesco integrity committee is to spearhead the prevention of corruption in the institution.
It should be zero per cent! What 2.5%?!? Are you not ashamed to even release these figures?!?
I did not even know there was corruption at Zesco.
How do they measure this? Has anyone been arrested?
This is hard evidence showing us how the state has been captured by inexperienced, underqualified and overemployed, incompetent nincompoops running a very rich country whilst impoverishing and consigning it’s citizens to the poorest state of affairs imaginable.
Zesco conducted this survey themselves…really laughable
2.5% it the cadres in management who are not giving up corruption?
A government wit all its pipo are corrupt and never tell the truth.
It has a laughing disease too! Thank God it is UNELECTABLE! Let’s develop this thing!
Mr Mundende you know that what you saying is Bull excreta. Firstly how do you get your 2.5%. ZESCO is full of incompetent AND CORRUPT relatives of the political elite now than it was in 2001. Under your watch ZESCO is bleeding. Do the honourable thing and resign and stop taking us for granted.
Really Laughable! What you have on paper in your air conditioned office on the 7th floor is not what is obtaining on the ground.
Useless Data. 2.5% relative to what? 2.5% of reported cases of corruption or 2.5% of the workforce is corrupt? Or 2.5 % of the power supplied is corrupted? I expect better from an engineer
Corruption is still on and worse at the passport office in Lusaka Cairo Road and if the situation will remain unchecked,peoples lives will continue to be disadvantaged.Even the working culture of both junior and senior officers is pathetic.How can a normal passport take 3 to 4 months to come out?when a white man comes for a passport its done in the same day.Corruption starts from those interviewers mr Mbulo and the rest including a lady from counter 6.When you approach them they are saying your NRC is not clear,how can it not be clear when it was obtained from the same ministry.These are the same civil servants destroying the image of the President and the nation at large.I have the evidence concerning this comment.My humble appeal goes to the relevant authorities to investigate these…
Totally true my sister had the same problem u have mentioned in renewing a passport not even a first application, while the previous passport was issued on the same reg, the same Mbulo guy asked for a bribe
No matter your professional qualifications, certain positions need some training of some sort. from 15% to 2.5% of what? Give us figures in relation to the number of reported cases or prosecuted ones. You dont give percentages randomly. They have to be based on some empirical data. Wtihout empirical data the Zesco MD is talking trash
Kkkk @ concend citizen you have made my day! ati pass officers are saying that N.R.C is not clear when it was given by the same office and ministry. Yaba you have crack my ribs!!!!!!!
BIG JOKED INDEED!! IF THAT IS TRUE, WHY DIDN’T HE SHOW US HOW MUCH MONEY HAS BEEN SAVED, HOW CULPRITS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO BOOK!?? What could have been reduced is petty corruption by low level officials, otherwise we still believe there is high level corruption with Politicians using ZESCO as their cash cow and abuse of office to give themselves contracts and employing relatives!!
Show us the data please.bwafya saana.And how did u measure the %.jokes indeed
The fight for corruption is done at snail’s pace, 12.5% reduction has taken the firm 18 years. Hmmmm, bane this is a big joke! Can the powers that be whisper the ZESCO MD to accelerate the pace and bring the percentage to zero in shortest possible time frame? Access to power is a right and not a privilege.
WHICH POWERS THAT BE, THE PF FEEDS ON ZESCO. YOU MIGHT THINK WE ARE UNIP DAYS WHERE CADRE’S RUN THE SHOW AND DOMINATE THE OVER PRICED SUPPLY CONTACTS.
Stup!d idi0ts, stop corruption completely, ba koswe imwe!!!
Teti mumfwe nensoni iwe chi Mundende or chi mumpono?
From time GBM left govt we have had no issues with pole tenders
If you want to win votes use sweet language like sata not insults and threats. Ba koswe. Lazy bam. Corrupt thieves. Chakolwe. ars. You will see in 2021
You will never wrestle power from pf with that strategy.
I think the man was right to call them U5s
How do we know it’s not the other way round meaning from zero corruption in 2000 to 2.5% in 2018?
