Transparency International Zambia has welcomed the decision taken by Road Transport and Safety Agency Chief Executive Officer Zindaba Soko to take leave from his position to facilitate investigations into allegations of money laundering levelled against him.

TIZ President Reuben Lifuka said the decision comes at a time when some people in public service who under investigations lack the moral conscience to do the right thing and step aside to pave way for investigations into similar matters.

Mr. Lifuka said this good corporate governance practice hailed by the Minister of Transport and Communication Brian Mushimba should apply right across the length and breadth of the public service.

He has urged all those undergoing investigations in the public service for similar offences to emulate Mr. Zindaba Soko’s example.

Mr. Soko has requested for leave to pave way for investigations in a matter where he is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Commission for alleged money laundering.

  1. A simple leaked commentade britisj ambassador resign,

    What we have in Zambia are not thick skin criminals in leadership. These are thick hearts. Thick brain criminals. No wonder they celebrate when opposition is crumbling.

    Even if chitotela was sentenced to prison , lungu wont fire him because chitolela was simply a purveyor.

    Why did you fire EMRINE KABANSHI

    Who will deliver us from LUNGU-Pf

    • Lungu cant fire chitotela for fear of legal implications. What if courts fails to prove any wrong doings. This will give chitotela more reasons to sue for unfair dismissal. The only way is morality. Chitotela is supposed to apply his moral fibre like soko to either resign or step down simple.

  2. Chitolela should have been the first person to go on leave, the president claims to be a lawyer and he can’t see anything wrong with that.

    • Meanwhile Lazy Lungu is somewhere in Central Province dancing and campaigning that’s all he knows running away from his responsibilities…he would rather do his ministers work rather than delegate. If we elect him again the first day in State House he will think of id campaigning for 2026.

  3. Reuben Lifuka is over weight from making nonsense comments. Lifuka is probably related to Chisushi Kambwili
