Patriots for Economic Progress (PEP) leader Sean Tembo has challenged government to publish the Anti-Corruption Commission Bank Account Number at Bank of Zambia where the K65 million forfeited to the state by Faith Musonda was initially deposited.
Finance and National Planning Minister, Situmbeko Musokotwane, on Tuesday presented before Parliament documents depicting the transmission of the K65 Million forfeited to the state by Faith Musonda.
Tembo made the challenge in a statement issued in Lusaka on Wednesday.
He said instead of answering the many questions that exist on this K65 million debacle and hopefully putting the matter to rest once and for all, the Ministerial Statement to Parliament has raised more questions than existed before.
Tembo said the Minister was being evasive by addressing a query about usage of the K65 million which the Office of the Auditor General did not raise, while ignoring the query about the K65 million not reflecting in Control 99 which raised.
“The Minister should have also shared with Members of Parliament a copy of the Control 99 bank statement which shows the date and time when the K65 million reflected,” he said.
Tembo said the only evidence that a payment sent to Control 99 actually reached is if it reflects on the account statement and according to the Office of Auditor General, they looked at the account statement of Control 99 and the K65 million was not reflecting.
“The Ministerial Statement should have simply said “the K65 million reflected in Control 99 on 5th March 2022 at 13:56 hours and here is an excerpt of the bank statement from Control 99 showing the credit of the K65 million,”. he said.
