President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has congratulated the Public Appointment Committee (PAC) of Parliament for confirming former Ombudsman Martha Chizuma as new Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General.

Chakwera said this on Wednesday in Parliament when responding questions from the lawmarkers.

In his speech, Chakwera also hailed Chairperson of the committee Joyce Chitsulo.

He also thanked member of the Committee Sam Kawale who brought the motion that led to Chizuma’s confirmation.

According to Chakwera good governance has won.

Chizuma is the first woman to head the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and she takes over from Reyneck Matemba.

Matemba’s term expired in December last year and is now serving as Solicitor General.

Meanwhile Chizuma has been offered confirmation letter.
