President Hakainde Hichilema has dissolved the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) board, following corruption allegations leveled against the commission, which also led to the resignation of its director general Thom Shamakamba.
In a statement issued by Chief Communications specialist Clayson Hamasaka, President Hichilema stated that his decision was intended to renew the commission’s sacred mandate in spearheading the fight against corruption.
“The President reaffirms his unwavering commitment to the fight against corruption and maintaining practices. President Hichilema thanks and wishes the outgoing board of commissioners well in their future endeavours,” President Hichilema stated.
One of commissioners on the board Dr O’Brien Kaaba raised serious corruption allegations against Shamakamba and state investigators who he said were cutting deal with the corrupt and covering up corruption.
Other members who belonged to the board include chairperson Musa Mwenye (State Counsel), lawyer Irene Lamba and Dr. Tommy Namitondo.
