Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Secretary to the Treasury Mr. Felix Nkulukusa says the Government has made huge strides in fighting corruption as evidenced by the various efforts and the enactment of legislation aimed at promoting transparency.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nkulukusa made the remarks in his keynote address titled \u201cthe fight against corruption in Zambia: insights on successes, challenges and opportunities going forward\u201d, at the 14th Annual African, African American, and Diaspora (AAAD) Interdisciplinary Conference at James Madison University in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nkulukusa said the enactment of the Access to Information Act will help public and private bodies be held accountable by civil society, the media and the public at large hence reducing corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe enacted the Access to Information Act to provide for the right to access information from public and private bodies. With this law, public and private bodies will be held accountable by civil society, the media and the public at large hence reducing corruption as corrupt officers face higher risks of exposure,\u201d Mr. Nkulukusa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo complement the Anti-Corruption Commission, an Inter-Agency Coordination Framework comprising 21 law enforcement and other competent authorities, was established on January 10, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Framework, spearheaded by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions operates based on existing domestic legal and institutional frameworks, institutional mandates, bilateral and multilateral agreements, recommending best practices in combating economic and financial crimes, illicit financial flows, and stolen asset recovery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nkulukusa acknowledged the negative impact of corruption on governance and economic development but emphasised the Zambian Government\u2019s ongoing efforts to fight the vice for the benefit of the people. Mr. Nkulukusa also observed that the contemporary global anti-corruption agenda has achieved a lot in terms of drawing attention to the problem.<\/p>\n

And Zambia\u2019s Ambassador to the United States Chibamba Kanyama said decentralization has worked well in Zambia as the money goes directly to the people through the increased Constituency Development Fund (CDF).This is contained in a statement issued by Charles Tembo,First Secretary Press and Public Relations,Embassy of Zambia, USA.<\/p>\n
