Zambia’s President Hichilema reshuffles cabinet amid corruption concerns
There has been turbulence recently in the Zambian Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). First, the director general resigned. Then, President Hakainde Hichilema fired the entire commission. Some Zambians have speculated that the ACC boss did not resign but was fired. Also, President Hichilema reshuffled his cabinet. Information Minister Cornelius Mweetwa tells VOA’s James Butty, the president has the right and power to hire and fire his cabinet, but he does not have the power to fire members of the Anti-Corruption Commission.
