Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>I served as Finance minister but did not steal even K1 Former Finance minister Ng\u2019andu Magande says crime never rots, urging leaders to always set the right example in public service.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the conviction of former Finance minister Dr Katele Kalumba and former Finance permanent secretary Stella Chibanda to five years imprisonment by the Supreme court, Magande pointed to the manner he handled affairs during his time as Finance minister in contrast to how people like Dr Kalumba handled matters while serving in the same ministry.<\/p>\n

He said during his time at Finance, not even a single accounts assistant was taken to court on account of abusing state resources. \u201cI am just happy that during my administration there wasn\u2019t even a single clerk that was indicted for corruption. And also because on my appointment day on 3rd of July, 2003 I told my officers I will not steal even K1 of your money (public money).<\/p>\n

And I didn\u2019t steal and I said anybody whoever will steal K1 I will take him to court and nobody did,\u201d Magande said to Daily Revelation media, saying he set the pace of anti-corruption which was followed through and hoped the leaders of today and those who will come in the future can follow through the same path.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that will be a very nice story for the young people who don\u2019t know me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on the enduring nature of justice to always prove its name, given that this is one matter that started almost 20 years ago, Magande said in his language they say \u201cmulandu tuboli\u201d.<\/p>\n
