Acting Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Hillary Chilomba, has revealed that the bureau is currently investigating several cases related to fuel and fertilizer procurement.
He announced this during an appearance on Times Exclusive Programme on Times Television on Saturday evening, but declined to provide further details on the ongoing investigations.
Said Chilomba:”We want to ensure that our efforts yield positive results in court, rather than simply making arrests.”
He reaffirmed the ACB’s commitment to independence and its determination to hold corrupt public officers accountable, ensuring effective public service delivery.
“I am committed to upholding the law, not serving individual interests,” said Chilomba.
He also assured the public that the Whistle Blower Act would provide protection to individuals who report corrupt officials, stressing that “fighting corruption begins with individual responsibility.”
Chilomba has been leading the ACB as acting Director General since the expiry of Martha Chizuma’s tenure on May 31, 2024.
