I’m not corrupt, Lungu responds to Fire Trucks saga
President Lungu
President Edgar Lungu has responded to corruption reports in the acquisition of 42 Fire Trucks at 42 million dollars distancing himself.
Addressing Zambians on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, President Lungu said that he is not corrupt and would not be intimidated to do his work.
The reports of the acquisition at such a huge amounts has shocked the country with demands for reversing the transaction.
In response, President Lungu says there should be a thorough investigation regarding the acquisition of the 42trucks for $42million.
He urged those with useful information to submit it to the investigations wings to help scrutinize the matter.
President Lungu said in Zambia there was a tendency by losing bidders in a public tender to raise all manner of accusations against the successful bidder.
“Those with evidence or any useful information about fire tenders must come forward and held investigative wings;” President Lungu said. “I know also that whenever a tender is given to one person the other loser raises questions but since there is a lot of protests over this one let those with information of wrong doing must come forward.”
