THE Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has recorded a warn and caution Statement from suspended Copperbelt Province Police chief Mary Tembo.
Ms Tembo was recently suspended by the Republican President to pave way for investigations into alleged corrupt activities after she received a motor vehicle from a mining company for her personal use without declaring it to her superiors, which was against the code of ethics for public service workers.
ACC public relations manager Timothy Moono confirmed the recording of a warn and caution statement in the corruption related case from the former Copperbelt police chief at a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday.
Mr Moono said the warn and caution statement from Ms Tembo was recorded early this week after investigators completed their investigations.
Mr Moono said what was remaining was for ACC legal department to study all the documents given to them in order for the department to give the commission credible guidelines on the next move to be taken.
“ Yes I can confirm that ACC has completed investigations instituted against the suspended Copperbelt Police chief, Ms Tembo and we have to that effect recorded a warn and caution statement from her, what is remaining now is to hear from the legal department what next move must be taken,” he said.
He said Ms Tembo’s alleged act of converting the motor vehicle donated by well-wishers to personal use without declaring the property to superiors contradicted the code of ethics for the public service.
The code of ethics states that a public service employee shall not accept gifts, rewards or hospitality or receive benefits of any kind from any person or organisation which might compromise or reasonably be seen to compromise one’s personal judgment or integrity.
Good !
The mistake she made is not that rigorous. Please just caution her and allow her to go back for work. She is hardworking a woman. Regards
I know english is not your first language!…but do you really know what rigorous mean? Please avoid using “big” english words to sound cleverer or educated!
kizungu kyasupa ba TENY,lembayitu kikaonde.”rigorous”
pusi iwe how do you allow corrupt police officers to ransack the system. she has to face the law
what was the reason of them giving her the car? why didn’t they give her the car before she became police commissioner? the reason is simple they wanted favours,i leave everything to the law to conclude….
The police officers must also stop asking for lifts from members of the travelling public. The government must provide sufficient transport so that there will be no excuses for not attending cases.
The clowns at ACC have taken too long to caution her. I hope the case will not end up being one of the many resulting in nolle prosequis for which Mutembo Nchito has been famed.
Ba Mary…
Chizungu! Kikiki
Adminstrative action in such a case would be sufficient.
she has nice sexy lips
