THE African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) has come clean over an article attributed to it concerning Lumezi Member of Parliament Munir Zulu.
An article attributed to APNAC indicated that the network had disowned Mr Zulu over some comments he made recently over Minister of Finance and National Planning, Situmbeko Musokotwane and his Infrastructure Development counterpart Charles Milupi.
According to a statement issued by APNAC Africa executive director Fabrice Fifonsi made available to the Daily Nation, the network indicated that it had never received any press enquiry neither did they give any interview to anyone as was indicated by the Zambian watchdog.
“It should be noted that as APNAC-Africa headquarters, we work in close collaboration with all our national chapters across and therefore we would not make any statement on a matter of such public importance without engaging the host and this case in particular APNAC Zambia Chapter like we were furnished with the statement on the matter released by the Chapter Chairperson Hon Miles Sampa,” he said.
Mr Fifonsi said in exercising its role as whistle-blower organization, APNAC was following the matter raised by the Zambian Chapter to its logical conclusion. He urged all to treat the article circulated by the Zambian Watchdog with the contempt it deserved.
“We remain uniting Parliamentarians in their noble fight against corruption and promotion of good governance,” he said.
