Chizuma breaks silence on Mkaka’s probe

Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General Martha Chizuma has come out of her cocoon to comment on the probe the graft-busting body against Minister of Natural Resources, Eisenhower Mkaka over the way he acquired his Mercedes Benz in 2020.

Chizuma has said the bureau’s investigation against Minister of Natural Resources, Eisenhower Mkaka, will include authenticating documents which are flying around on social media alleging that Mkaka may have received a gift from Zunneth Sattar.

“The Bureau will indeed investigate the issue relating to Hon Mkaka’s car. We however, need to clarify that the investigations that the Bureau is currently conducting on Zunneth Sattar’s corruption allegations are largely based on information the Bureau received which covers the period between March 2021 and October 2021.

“From the documents going around we note that the transactions regarding this car took place in 2020. This is outside the period of the information. We also would like to clearly point out that as a Bureau the documents from which the public are getting details of this car need to be authenticated and this will form part of the investigation,” said Chizuma.

Mkaka is alleged to have received the vehicle from Zuneth Sattar who is involved in Corruption scandal.
