Dr Sichembe has further noted that his office will soon be engaging institutions such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Electoral Commission of Zambia, and Local Authorities among others for the commencement of the audit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the nation maybe aware, in order to ensure that the 2021 General Elections were conducted successfully, the Government of the Republic of Zambia and other stakeholders supported the preparations and conducting of the elections with financial and non-financial resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The General Auditor has to assure all stakeholders that his office will continue to ensure that all public resources are being utilised for the intended purpose and that there is value for money in public spending.
