THE Anti Corruption Commission's investigations on allegations that justice minister Wynter Kabimba was corruptly involved in oil deals have failed to yield results. Sources close to the investigations said there was no basis upon which Kabimba could be investigated.

"After the close of operations and investigations, we found nothing upon which to investigate those allegations. The oil deals were mere public perception by some politicians and professionally we have found nothing against Mr Kabimba upon which we can lay charges against him," said the source.

"For Mr Mwamba (GBM), we have sufficient grounds upon which to start normal investigations. In this matter we collected enough documentation that showed that the minister personally solicited and forced his influence on public officers to have his companies awarded contracts, not only at Zesco, but also in the electrification of the chiefs' palaces.

There was a time when Mr Mwamba was acting President and that's when these matters of soliciting for contracts began and by the time we're done, many more issues may come out," another source said.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) last Friday closed preliminary investigations into alleged corrupt deals by the two ministers.
Mwamba is being investigated for allegedly soliciting contracts for supplying poles to Zesco Limited, while Kabimba is being scrutinised over the award of oil contract.
