ACC summons Former Ministry of Health PS for questioning

By Staff Writer
The Anti-Corruption Commission has summoned former Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary in Charge of Administration George Magwende to appear for questioning on Tuesday August 9, 2022.

ACC Spokesperson Queen Chibwe said the Commission has been carrying out investigations on allegations of corruption against him.

Ms Chibwe said Dr Magwende is expected to appear before the Anti-Corruption Commission on the said date at 9:00 hours.

She said Dr Magwende was relieved of his duties as Permanent Secretary in Charge of Administration in the Ministry of Health by President Hakainde Hichilema yesterday. “The ACC warns all serving public officers to stay clear of any corrupt practices in their daily dealings and conduct because there are no sacred cows in this fight against corruption,” she said.
