So he is admitting that while he was Minister of the Government of Zambia, he also acted as Consultant of a company that was doing business with the Ministry that he was heading?
Mhhhh….That is a basic definition of “conflict of interest”. Quid pro quo…as they say in
Latin.
Exactly what independent MP amd Chair of Public Accounts Committee did while obtainig Purchase order for a company he was owns from Public Institutions that he would later query as a committee of Parliament.
Our leaders dont see nothing morally and ethically wrong and have the the audacity to admit this under oat. What happened to declaring an interest? This would help them possible jail time.
