Africa-Press – Zambia. The Public Acconts Committee (PAC) examines the accounts showing the appropriation of sums granted by the National Assembly to meet the public expenditure, the Report of the Auditor-General on these accounts and such other accounts.
The Committee also exercises the powers conferred on it under the constitution. With the above, all who handled or handle public funds are clients of and for PAC, former or serving.
Nowhere is it written that former officials are exempted and must not be summoned by PAC or made to account for their misdeeds while in power. On the allegations that the current PAC chairperson benefited from the DMMU contracts, it will be good to hear it from ex-DMMU national coordinator, Chanda Kabwe if that is true.
At that point, we shall call on him to recuse himself not now when the allegations are based on rumours and nameless people. Let Mr Kabwe appear before PAC and tell the nation the truth. Kwamana.
