THE Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has requested for further information from institutions concerned with the procurement of 100 hearses for the local authorities before concluding the probe.
ACC corporate affairs officer Wezzy Chomba said yesterday investigations were active and had not been concluded yet.
Mr Chomba said in response to a Press query that the commission was waiting for a feedback from institutions concerned for it to conclude the matter and make a decision.
He said the commission had not made any arrests concerning the matter.
Mr Chomba said the commission would inform the nation on the outcome of the investigations once they were concluded.
The ACC started investigating the purchase of 100 hearses by the Ministry of Local Government and Housing after late minister Benny Tetamashimba reported his predecessor Sylvia Masebo to the ACC and auditor general on the procurement last year.
Mr Tetamashimba had then told Times of Zambia that as minister, he had his own suspicions because a single hearse could not cost US$29,000 and that was the reason he directed the then Permanent Secretary Coillard Chibbonta to report anybody who was suspected to have benefited from the transaction.
