Vice President WK Mutale Nalumango says the new dawn administration is giving amnesty to those that voluntarily come forward and declare property they acquired using proceeds of corruption.
The vice president has since advised those who might have acquired property using proceeds of corruption to take advantage of the amnesty and come forward.
Responding to a question from Kalabo central Member of Parliament Chinga Miyutu during the vice president’s question time who wanted to find out whether the new dawn administration has intentions to give amnesty to those that might have acquired property corruptly in exchange for non prosecution, Mrs Nalumango says for those found wanting after investigation it will be discretionary.
Meanwhile the vice president says the country will not go into the 2026 elections with the current republican constitution.
Responding to a question by Bwacha Member of Parliament Sydney Mushanga who wanted to find out when the government will commence the refinement of the constitution and the revision of the public order act, Mrs Nalumango says refining the constitution and dealing with the public order act has been the commitment of the UPND from the time the party was in opposition.
She says the UPND will not make laws to punish the opposition as the case was in previous administration because it understands that being in power is not permanent.
On the looming increase in fuel prices, the vice president says there is no imminent increase in the fuel pump price.
Mrs Nalumango, however, could not clearly state whether fuel prices will not go up.
He was responding to a question by Chama south Member of Parliament Davison Mung’andu who wanted to find out whether increasing fuel prices and electricity tariffs is one of the IMF conditionality’s.
