ZNBC audit report ready for scrutiny

Share

The Office of the Auditor General (AG) will next week hand-over an audit report of the Zambia National Broadcasting Cooperation (ZNBC) to the Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services Ronnie Shikapwasha.

Auditor General’s Office Public Relations Officer Helen Chikale says the Office of the Auditor General has finalized auditing ZNBC and that the audit report was currently awaiting submission to the minister of Information for further scrutiny.

Ms Chikale told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that the audit report of ZNBC will only be made a public document when it is presented to government through the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services for final recommendations.

She further said that the Auditor General’s Office was ready to brief the Minister of Information Lieutenant General Ronnie Shikapwasha on the contents of the ZNBC audit report.

Ms Chikale has since urged the public to fully support the Office of the Auditor General in its quest of ensuring that there is transparency and accountability in the utilization of public resources.

The Auditor General’s Office embarked on the auditing of ZNBC following the request from government and ZNBC unionized employees on the alleged misapplication and misuse of that institution’s funds.
