ACB suspend recruitment process of enumerators due to corruption

Human rights experts have lamented over corrupt practices that are said to be negatively affecting service delivery in district councils.

The remarks follow the suspension on recruitment processes of enumerators- the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has issued to three district councils over alleged corrupt acts.

According to Egritta Ndala, Principal Public Relations Officer for the Bureau, the districts include- Ntchisi, Dowa and Chiradzulu.

Earlier, Ndala has said that the Bureau suspended the recruitment of the enumerators for the 2023 Unified Beneficiary Registry exercise, after it had received reports of irregularities in the process.

Micheal Kaiyatsa a human rights advocate said the status quo is giving room to incompetent people to be employed hence negatively impacting service delivery by the councils.
