The 6th Zambia Anti-Corruption Conference was held yesterday at the Intercontinental Hotel, bringing together government officials, international partners, and civil society to discuss integrity in the country’s electoral processes. This year’s theme, “Collaborative Actions for Integrity and Transparency in Elections,” comes as Zambia prepares for the 2026 General Elections.
President Hakainde Hichilema officiated the event and emphasized his administration’s continued commitment to a zero-tolerance approach to corruption “past, present, and future.” He noted that the creation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Court demonstrates the government’s resolve to ensure faster and more effective prosecution of corruption and financial crimes.
The conference was supported by the Anti-Corruption Commission alongside several cooperating partners, including Transparency International Zambia, the European Union, the Governments of the United Kingdom and Sweden, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Chandler Foundation.
President Hichilema further stated that the government will continue strengthening key oversight bodies such as the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Office of the Auditor General, the Public Protector, and the Judicial Complaints Commission.
The conference marks another step in the country’s broader efforts to reinforce transparency and accountability ahead of the next national elections.

Check out the Diplomats sign on their table. Very funny.
I feel sorry for anyone who believes HH when he says he is committed to fighting corruption.
