African Parliamentarian Network against Corruption (APNAC) chairperson Cornelius Mweetwa says the Patriotic Front government’s fight against corruption is highly questionable.
Speaking during a press briefing in Lusaka today, Mweetwa says ANAP will judge government’s commitment to fight corruption based on results the fight is yielding and the political will.
He adds that APNAC will not base its judgment of government on what it tells the citizenry or the International Community but its actions.
Mweetwa says it is unfortunate that while on one hand the government claims to be allergic to corruption, its actions on the other hand suggest it is embracing corruption.
The Choma central Member of Parliament states that APNAC is not satisfied with the strides government has made thus far in the fight against corruption.
Meanwhile, Mweetwa says APNAC has written to the Ministry of Home affairs to seek clarification on the supply and delivery of the security network Phase 111 project dubbed:’Safe City project’ between the government through the ministry of Home Affairs and ZTE Corporation and Zhongxing Telecom service Limited.
APNAC vice-chairperson Professor Geoffrey Lungwangwa notes that the zeal in the fight against corruption is low in the country.
Prof Lungwangwa says one can only assess the Zeal of fighting corruption if journalists are accorded an opportunity for a press conference by the President.
