The Office of the Auditor-General has strongly denied claims that it failed to submit the Auditor General’s Report for the financial year ending December 31, 2023, by the required deadline of September 30, 2024.
Acting Auditor-General, Ron Mwambwa, in a statement issued on Sunday in Lusaka, described the allegations as misleading and an attempt to undermine the credibility of the Office.
Mwambwa clarified that the report had been submitted to both the President and the Speaker of the National Assembly on September 25, 2024, well before the deadline.

“The ongoing tabling process by the National Assembly of Zambia has no connection with the President or our Office, as suggested by some sections of the media,” Mwambwa stated, rejecting the accusations.
He urged the media to ensure accurate reporting based on verified facts, noting that the Office operates an open-door policy for journalists seeking reliable information.
Mwambwa reassured the public that the Office of the Auditor-General remained committed to upholding transparency and accountability, and would continue engaging with stakeholders to ensure that the public was accurately informed.
