Speaker, Katotobwe top assets declarations
By Philip Chisalu
A CONSORTIUM of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has revealed an 18 per cent increase in compliance levels for asset declarations among Members of Parliament (MPs), speakers, and ministers during the period 2021–2024.
However, they have noted that most declarations remain incomplete, with less than one per cent of public office bearers submitting fully detailed reports.
The CSOs also raised concerns over the integrity of the process, citing instances of potentially false declarations, which undermine transparency and accountability in public office.
According to the CSOs’ report, titled “A-Project 2025–2027,” only Luapula PF MP Chanda Katotobwe has declared his assets for 2025, valued at K1,100,950,000.00. Katotobwe’s previous declarations included K312,400,000.00 in 2021, no declaration in 2022, K321,550,000.00 in 2023, and no declaration in 2024.
Vice-President Mutale Nalumango declared K17,216,000.00 in 2021, skipped 2022, then declared K33,358,000.00 in 2023 and K40,493,000.00 in 2024.
Former vice-president Inonge Wina declared assets for the period 2016–2020 but did not disclose their actual value.
Speaker of the National Assembly Nelly Mutti declared K380,820,000.00 in 2021, K418,665,000.00 (with additional unspecified assets) in 2022, K491,905,000.00 in 2023, and K566,577,250.10 in 2024.
Other notable declarations include former PF Pambashe MP Ronald Chitotela…
Normal citizens declare their assets in public because they have nothing to hide. Only those with skeletons can never declare their assets.
We shall seize all dirty assets after 2026. Including dirty money stashed in offshore accounts. That money came from tax payers, and it shall be returned to tax payers. There is nowhere to hide.
God bless Captain Ibrahim Traore, a true leader.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote wisely in 2026.
