PAC backs suggestion for a tribunal on fire trucks tender

PAC President Andyford Banda

People’s Alliance for Change (PAC) President Andyford Banda has backed the suggestion for a tribunal to be constituted to probe allegations of corruption in the procurement of the 42 fire trucks at a total cost of US$42 million.

Mr. Banda says to continue commenting on this matter will not help the nation in anyway and thus the need for the president to consider constituting a task force to thoroughly investigate this procurement.

Mr. Banda has told QTV News that the nation should start making strides in ending corruption by being tough on corrupt public officials.
