Vice President Inonge Wina says the government has no intention of disbanding the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC).

Ms. Wina has said there are currently no compelling reasons to disband the institution.

The Vice President also says the FIC will not be merged with any other investigative institution.

She says the FIC has been formed under the Patriotic Front (PF) administration through an Act of parliament.

She was reacting to United Party for National Development -UPND Mongu Central Member of Parliament Mwilola Imakando in parliament today who sought clarification on allegations that the government wants to merge FIC with one of the Investigative institutions.

This was during the Vice President’s Question Time for Oral Answer.

  1. This government has always ignored the findings from FIC investigations and carried on abusing office. They think they are immune to prosecution and the law does not apply to them.

    If you do not believe me, ask president KZ, and he will probably put a cap in your arze with one of his many unlicensed guns.

  2. By putting FIC under some of the lungu compromised investigative wings , you are as good as disbanding it.

    And FIC was not formed by PF because they wanted , it was a requirement under international banking standards

  3. VP is always in an awkward position to defend the party position she does not ascribe to. Just resign on principle instead of voting with the opposition mum.

  4. They don’t have to disband the FIC, they just have to make it moribund like they have done with ACC and many other institutions of governance. Not to mention looting all SOEs which had something to loot.
