ASSET RECOVERY, ANTI GRAFT TEAM CONSTITUTED

By David Likando

Government has constituted a joint investigations team comprising the Zambia Police, Drug Enforcement Commission, Anti-Corruption Commission and Financial Intelligence Centre, to deal with crime related to asset recovery and corruption.

The team is working with other institutions including Zambia Revenue Authority, Zambia Information Communication and Technology Authority, Bank of Zambia and the office of the Auditor General, to ensure maximum assets recovery.

Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security, Jack Mwiimbu disclosed this during a press briefing in Lusaka.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mwiimbu has directed police to intensify foot and motor patrols to curb the seemingly rise in crime in some parts of the country.
This will include mounting strategic security check points in densely populated areas.

Mr. Mwiimbu says government is worried over the rise of crime that has seen unscrupulous criminals taking the law into their hands and deprive the public of their properties.

The minister has however urged Police officers to uphold and respect fundamental human rights and freedoms of citizens as they undertake the task.-Diamond TV
