President Michael Sata directs Minister of Justice to release the ZAMTEL Report to the public immediately
TIME PUBLISHED - Saturday, January 14, 2012, 6:12 pm

President Michael Sata has directed the Minister of Justice Sebastian Zulu to release the Zamtel Report to the public immediately in order to protect public interest and curb blantant lies from shameless detractors.

This is contained in a press statement made available to the media by the Special Assistant to the President for Press George Chellah. President Sata said that the Commission of Inquiry that he constituted to probe the sale of Zamtel came out with brilliantly documented submissions.

“Since we have not released the Report to the public, our detractors and perpetrators of crimes against Zambia and its citizens have had a field day, regrettably supported by some sections of the media and opposition political party leaders who for strange reasons have axes to grind against the Patriotic Front Government,” President Sata says.

“To protect public interest and to insulate our people against blantant lies I direct that we release the Report with due immediacy. Arrange to furnish all foreign missions in Zambia with the Report. And most importantly, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs send a copy to the Libyan Government using the fastest route.”

The Head of State has assured Hon. Zulu that the Minister of Finance Hon Alexander B. Chikwanda stands ready to aid the process should any financial needs involved in this exercise go beyond the Ministry of Justice’s allocation.
