Share

PRESIDENT Edgar Chagwa Lungu has reiterated government’s commitment to fighting Corruption across the Board.

Speaking during his address to Parliament today, President Edgar Lungu said that his government under the corruption prevention interventions has introduced Anti-Corruption content in the school curriculum at primary and secondary meant to instill high integrity values in young people.

President Lungu noted the significant progress made to further institutionalize prevention of corruption adding that in 2019, 30 more integrity Committees were established in both public and private sectors bringing the total number to 94.

He said that the efforts being put in place are practical steps in closing all leaking taps in the management of public funds.

“With Regard to prosecutions, the anti-corruption commission secured 17 convictions and recorded seven acquittal during the period under review” President Lungu said.

The head of state urged individuals, the public sector as well as non state actors to continue partnering with Government in the fight against corruption.

“We must all hate Corruption in order to fight and eradicate it because corruption is the number one enemy of sustainable development and good governance,” He said .

  12. This is really tragic. The most corrupt president in Africa is positing himself as a champion of anti corruption. It’s either he thinks that we’re really gullible and stuuuupid to believe his lies, or he just lives in an alternative universe. His government has normalized corruption in the country, and Zambia is now becoming worse than Nigeria in terms of corruption and reputation. These criminals have tarnished the good name of this country. Because if you’re a Zambian, next time you visit Malaysia, they’ll never look at you the same. Because these thieves have tarnished the image of all Zambians in Malaysia and around the world. This is a shame. And as long as corrupt Lungu remains in office, Zambia will continue sinking in corruption. Right now, we’re steeped in corruption up to…

  13. … our chins. Let’s vote this corrupt bunch out next year and save our country from sinking any further. Prison is where they belong.

  14. As put above, under ECL the FIC came into being. It is ECL who enacted the new constitution that has the Public Protector now. ECL didn’t set up useless task forces like his predecessor but has worked to institutionalise the anti-corruption fight. Next, he will reform ZP, ACC, DEC. In fact, Bill 10 will kickstart the reformation of DEC.

  15. What was institutionalized was “Ubomba Mwibala alya mwibala!”
    This is the reason why we now have Pharmacists stealing 280 boxes of Coartem from patients.
    Just resign Mr President!
    You’re not inspiring hope in the nation with all these lies!

  16. And what can he tell us about the Mukula that was confiscated in Malaysia from Zambia? How did that Mukula leave the country when there is an active ban in the trading and export of Mukula? Whose Mukula is it anyway other that PF exposed person?

  17. Hahahahaha! We are never short of entertainment in zambia. That’s why I say let this man stand again in 2021. He will be the easiest to beat in the whole field.
