With corruption, our young people’s future remains bleak, says Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Southern Province
regional manager Mweemba Mwape.
According to The Post she said there was need to put up an intensive fight against corruption because the vice deprived youths in the country
access to basic services such as health and education.
“There is a lot of talk that there is so much corruption in the country and we need to ensure that we all join the crusade
to fight corruption. With corruption, our young people’s future remains bleak. Corruption as we all know lessens the
young people’s access to basic services such as quality
health care and education,” Mwape said when she officiated
at the 2015 ACC club debate competition at Canisius
Secondary School in Monze.
She urged the youth to seriously join the fight against
corruption because this was one way of safeguarding their
future.
“I am sure that some of you have experienced some form of
corruption along the way already. Hence your involvement
is critical to make Zambia a better place. The young people
of this country form a significant part of society and have the
potential to shape Zambia into a better place by upholding
the spirit of integrity, honesty and selflessness,” she said.
Mwape said the ACC would continue to support initiatives
such as the anti-corruption clubs in schools because they
played a pivotal role in educating young people about the
dangers of corruption and how they could be ambassadors
in fighting the scourge.
