The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) says they will in due course issue a comprehensive statement to inform the public over the matter, in response to a Daily Revelation query for them to give a formal confirmation on information that the investigative wings seized 16 trucks carrying mukula, in Mongu last Friday.
Responding to a Daily Revelation query that sought to get the commission’s confirmation on information that they and other investigative wings seized the 16 trucks that were carrying mukula, that was being transported by two named companies, said to be connected to politically exposed person, ACC stated that they would not comment now, but will issue a comprehensive statement later.
“The Anti-Corruption Commission wishes to acknowledge receipt of your press query sent via email on 25th October, 2021,” ACC spokesperson Queen Chibwe stated, quoting the aspects raised with her on the matter, including a request for them to formally name the people said to be involved in the matter. “In response to your query, I would like to inform you that the Commission will not comment but will in due course issue a comprehensive statement to inform the public over the matter.”
Well placed sources in the Office of the President told Daily Revelation that the 16 trucks belonging to two named companies were seized last Friday in Mongu and were enroute to Walvis Bay in Namibia.
“We impounded these trucks yesterday, and information is that one of the truck owners is used by some of the most powerful people in the old administration. Just stay tuned as more details will be revealed very soon. We just hope there won’t be attempts to seat on this matter, as there is serious lobbying currently taking place to ensure that it does not leak to the public,” sources said. “However, investigations have been instituted into the matter. More details will emerge during these continuing investigations.”
