Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>ALMOST a month after launching investigations on former Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Stanley Kakubo, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is struggling to find anything to link him to graft.<\/p>\n

Soon after resigning his ministerial position in the wake of a botched personal business transaction, the ACC announced that it had launched investigations against Kakubo.<\/p>\n

The ACC then stormed Kakubo\u2019s residence in Lusaka\u2019s Woodlands area in search of corruption evidence. But four weeks on, the Anti-graft body has found nothing incriminating on Kakubo.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur search at the former minister\u2019s house yielded nothing significant despite our officers being there for an protracted duration of time. We went further and extended our checks in several other areas We thought we could find something but they also came to nothing. We can\u2019t find anything to establish a case of corruption, an ACC source told Kalemba.<\/p>\n

During a press briefing at the ACC headquarters in Lusaka, the commission\u2019s public relations manager refused to answer any questions related to Kakubo.<\/p>\n

Many have argued that there was no basis for the ACC to come in as Kakubo\u2019s case involved a private business deal in which the state did not lose any resources.<\/p>\n
