Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema has encouraged all those who engaged in corruption during the previous administration to voluntarily pay back to society what they took away.<\/p>\n

Addressing Parliament on the progress made in the application of national values and principles, the President said it is wise to do so than to wait for the inevitable, prosecution and the resultant consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must work hard and be firm against unethical conduct in both our private and public lives. in our quest to enhance efficiency in the administration of justice, we are devolving the resident judgeship to the provinces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said his administration is determined to see to it that all those entrusted with public affairs management must be responsible, accountable and transparent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to fighting corruption, strengthening the rule of law and ensuring prudence in the utilization of public resources,\u201d Mr Hichilema said.<\/p>\n

He said corruption takes away the much-needed resources for economic growth, jobs, business opportunities, improving education, health and other social services. Mr Hichilema said corruption reduces the effectiveness of public administration, adding that it must be fought in all its forms and manifestations.<\/p>\n

And the Head of State said it is wrong for the corrupt to deliberately and intentionally label themselves as victims in the fight against corruption so as to gain sympathy from the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren, women, the youth, and other vulnerable members of our society remain the true victims of corruptions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President said government will not falter in the fight against corruption stating that there will be no sacred cow. \u201cWe must all declare war against corruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
