(LUSAKATIMES) ZRA report taken to Cabinet
ZRA report taken to CabinetTIME PUBLISHED - Thursday, December 22, 2011, 3:10 pm
President Michael Sata has directed Minister of Finance Alexander Chikwanda to table the report of the Zambia Revenue Authority Commission of Inquiry before cabinet.
Mr. Sata was however, disappointed that the Chairperson of the ZRA Commission of Inquiry Kingsley Chanda did not give a summary of the report.
The President was speaking at State House, when he received the Report of the ZRA Commission of Inquiry, which was set to look at the operations of the Zambia Revenue Authority.
Mr. Sata instructed Mr. Chikwanda to draw a cabinet memo so that cabinet could look at the document.
The President is also disappointed that a parliamentarian refused to appear before a Commission of Inquiry on the contract for the supply, installation and commissioning of the Zambia Air Traffic Management Surveillance Radar System.
He explained that a parliamentarian refused to appear before the Commission of Inquiry because it is NOT serious.
And Mr. Chanda said he is confident that the Report will help government in tax administration.
President Sata appointed the ZRA Commission of Inquiry to also among other things investigate the awarding of contracts to various firms and establish whether the law was followed.
Over one hundred witnesses appeared before the ZRA Commission of Inquiry, which sat for over a month.
