So, what they have revised is now to use bogus allegations against these officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nakachiinda has since warned that more revelations are coming of the criminality of the UPND government in a way they have been handling public funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have cleansed the Auditor General\u2019s office, two deputies have already been arrested and removed from office. They are targeting the Auditor General, you are going to see as we move forward, more revelations of the criminality of this government in a way they have been handling public funds. This we should not tolerate. As Zambians, let us wake up,\u201d he said. Dr. Sichembe has since been summoned to appear before ACC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
