Vice President Inonge Wina has disclosed that she is going to issue a ministerial statement next week as to when government would release the findings of the three commissions of inquiry which were initiated by the Patriotic Front (PF) administration when it came into power in 2011.
Ms Wina said she needs time to come up with a consolidated answer considering the sensitive of the commissions of inquiry which the public would like to know as a matter of urgency.
ZANIS reports that the Vice President was answering questions for oral answer from Kasempa Member of parliament Kabinga Pande who wanted to know when government would release the Rodger Chongwe Commission of Inquiry into the Mongu riots.
Mr Pande also wanted to know from the Vice President when Government would make available the Sebastian Zulu Commission of inquiry on the sale of the Zamtel to LAP Green of Libya.
The Kasempa Member of Parliament also wanted to know the Winter Kabimba Commission of inquiry on the oil procurement under the Energy Regulation Board as well as how much money was spent on each of the commissions.
Mr Pande further wanted an answer to the main recommendations of the Rodger Chongwe Commission of Inquiry respectively.
And Vice President Inonge Wina assured parliament that she was very much sure that next week, the information will be availed to parliament ultimately to the nation to know.
The fact the there was no enthusiasm from Government to follow up on these reports, means nothing tangible came out of the enquiries, at least as the office that commissioned them was expecting. Withiout leadership change the reports would have been swept under the carpet. But,….. let us wait and see!
Thank you Mr. (or is it Mrs.) Wina. I’m particularly interested in the Wynter Kabimba Trafigura oil scandal and the Roger Chongwe Commission which the Cobra hastily rubbished.
How about giving a comprehensive statement on the PF Chama’s remarks on the TOngas as promised
