Corruption in Zambia has increased – TIZ

Wesley Chibamba

Transparency International Zambia (TIZ) Executive Director Wesley Chibamba says corruption in Zambia has increased and is wrecking havoc on the economy.

Mr. Chibamba says this is because government is allegedly protecting certain corrupt individuals as evidenced from the acquittal of certain high profile individuals who have been taken to court for corruption.

He says government has failed to act on corrupt individuals implicated in corruption scandals.

Mr. Chibamba says it is unfortunate that the State is allegedly protecting corrupt individuals and is not ready to take action against them.
