PF government under the leadership of President Edgar Lungu has fought corruption tooth and nail

Share

THE RULING Patriotic Front (PF) Media Director Antonio Mwanza has said the PF government under the leadership of President Edgar Lungu has fought corruption tooth and nail.

Speaking when he featured on ZNBC’s Sunday Interview last night, Mr Mwanza said the Head of State believes that there are absolutely no sacred cows in the fight against corruption.

The PF Media Director said the President does not shield anyone were corruption is concerned. He added that this is evidenced by the number of civil servants that have been convicted in the Courts of the law.

“PF is the first party after UNIP to have introduced Integrity Committees so that they supervise all the operations of government and make sure that people that have been charged with the responsibility to take care of natural and financial resources are accountable,” he said.

“We the PF are the ones that operationised the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) because we believe that we need intelligence to follow issues of corruption.”
He said PF government has put in place the Financial Management Law to oversee its expenditure, made sure that the operations of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) are done openly and ensured that the Auditor General’s Report is made public for all to see.

Meanwhile, Mr Mwanza said those that defected to the party such as Dr Chishimba Kambwili, former NDC leader mean well for both the PF and the country.
He said the former opposition leader and many others who raised corrupt allegations against government whilst in opposition realized that they were not being factual hence their move to join the ruling party.

“They raised several allegations against the ruling party which were not factual. The reason they were doing so is because they were crying, ‘olila sibamugwila pakamwa.’ So at that time, you expect anything all sorts of emotional sentiments.”

  1. you can say that again. I totally agree comrade. However, What should be of a concern is how close that randy photographer boy chellah tukuta is getting to mrs hichilema. All those photos of her he is getting might lead to marital disputes. Don’t be surprised when HHs next child is born with teeth that are in all different directions.

  8. My foot!……like kambwili this guy needs to be reminded of what he used to say about PF when he was in opposition. Anyway we understand him. He has to defend his livelihood which comes from defending corruption.

  9. You know the story….they always talk opposite and just to confirm, the former health minister is still a free bird.

    Are you freaking kidding me? What hard stuff is this guy smoking on?

    Corruption is Lungu’s middle name and it is the PF’s manifesto. Please shut the funk down and sit down!

    Just look at my alias above and tell me again what you just said.
    Putting together institutions is one thing, making them truly independent, productive and effective is another. Look at the Constitutional Court and tell that court ie being effective.

  12. Ha….Ha….Ha…Which Fuu.ul will believe this fuu.ul? 🙂
    Even without reading the article, that heading by itself is enough, I wouldn’t even waste my time reading this sh…iit.
    You must be c.ra.zy to believe this.

  13. The mere mention of “fighting corruption ” doesn t eradicate Corruption. Instead of eradicating Corruption the ECL Govt has promoted and encourage Corruption to the higher level. ECL Govt has done Corruption and has lived Corruption. “Uubomba Mwibala Alya Mwibala Alya Mwibala Alya”.

  14. It is true it was and is tooth and nail on Corruption kkkkkkkk the last one is what we are in today Dollar and Kwacha. What about the new introduction of new Toll fees at Kazungula Bridge?

  15. When you live in bubble, everything that goes on and happens within the bubble is okay and there is nothing wrong. It is a pity that we cannot be honest otherwise we lose our jobs and positions in the bubble. This guy is paid to speak and he must speak only that which pleases the pay master. It is a fallacy to even dare think anybody in PF would call out corruption, they know every well what that means and the consequences. Antonio is only doing his job period, that is what puts a meal on his table, ask the likes of Tayali!

  18. “These are serious issues that the president has raised because he said he has reports of corruption by some of his ministers. Since the president has these reports, I was expecting him to name and fire the ministers concerned,” Antonio Mwanza, spokesperson of the opposition Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) said.
    He said it is evident that the investigative wings had done their work and investigated the level of corruption by President Lungu’s ministers and given him the report which he was expected to act on instead of just issuing mere threats.
    “He is not being real; we expect the president to act but it seems he is failing to act,” he added. ( The Herald,2016}

  19. Iwee ulelya, no wonder u a confused to tell the Zambians whn they see for themselves, how bad things are during the PF rule. Wht hv u fought tooth ad nail, corruption is at the highest. Don’t think Zambians are fools, your time is coming. Foolish!!
