Having strong institutions of governance will win Zambia’s corruption fight – ZED

The opposition Zambians for Empowerment and Development (ZED) says having strong institutions of governance is what will win the country the fight against corruption.

ZED president Frederick Mutesa says if the fight against corruption is to be fought effectively and won, upright men and women must be appointed to such institutions.

Dr. Mutesa notes that this is besides the country inculcating values in young people that corruption does not pay.

In an interview with QTV News, Dr. Mutesa says President Edgar Lungu’s statement that he finds it difficult to work with corrupt people is half the corruption battle won.

Dr. Mutesa states that the next step is bringing the culprits of corruption to book after thorough investigation and following the due course of the law.

He says people thinking President Lungu is giving lip service to corruption should take cognizance that for him to act he must have concrete evidence.
