K6.2bn Covid-19 report awaits AG scrutiny

K6.2bn Covid-19 report awaits AG scrutiny

Centre for Social Accountability Transparency executive director Willy Kambwandira, in an interview this week observed that government has not been transparent on the report and on the future of several arrests already made.

He said: “We understand that only four out of 62 people that were arrested are facing prosecution. We are not told whether the rest have been dropped out or government is conducting further investigations. Our message to those in power is that these are public funds and they must account on how they used the funds.” Charges in the report include disciplinary proceedings and criminal investigations against officials at Department of Disaster Management Affairs for failing to account for K11.7 million. The report further recommends a holistic review of public financial management procedures and systems.
