President Hakainde Hichilema has called on public office-holders who engage in corrupt practices to resign before facing legal consequences.
In a recent statement, the President emphasized that ministers, mayors, council chairpersons, and civil servants must stop misappropriating taxpayer funds, which are intended to provide essential services to the public.
Mr. Hichilema stressed the importance of understanding the distinction between personal and public resources, urging officials to prioritize the welfare of citizens over personal gain.
The President’s remarks come as part of a broader effort to combat corruption within government ranks.
