Corruption can be separated into two forms:
Institution strengthening
Corruption can only be fought and controlled by strengthening institutions and upholding the rule of law. Strengthening the integrity, openness, and credibility of government institutions and the policy-making process should be a priority for the government.
Institution strengthening includes:
Accountability
Transparency
Simplification of operations to reduce errors and opportunities to conceal corruption
Fundamental reforms to change attitudes and beliefs of those that work in the institutions
Anti-corruption agencies must command the respect of the public and be credible, transparent, and fearless. They must be subject to review by the media and civil society and have political independence.
National anti-corruption strategy
This shall promote the participation of society and reflect the principles of the rule of law, proper management of public affairs and public property, integrity, transparency, and accountability. It needs to be incorporated within the broader national development initiatives.
Political will and leadership
This is essential for sending a clear signal that there is a commitment to challenge corruption.
Leaders need to commit time, effort, and political capital to achieve change.
The emergence of transformational leadership – Through the strength of their vision and personality, transformational leaders are able to inspire followers to change expectations, perceptions, and motivations to work towards common goals. This is based on the leader’s ability to make change through example and articulation of an energizing vision and challenging goals. Transformational leaders act for the common good and against self-interest.

Recommendations and Timescales for Implementation of Anti-Corruption Policies
By Dr. Roy Moobola
HH is a demagogue President and a thief…HH IS THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT TO HAVE RULED ZAMBIA…fact
So Gullible praise singers think when HH goes to the IMF and World Bank to beg for handouts he is begging for the country ..NO…HH IS BEGGING FOR HIMSELF AND HIS CLIQUE OF THIEVES USING ZAMBIA AS A COLLATERAL
When is kapuswe being reinstated as you predicted ????
…………
The scurage afflicting black people that breeds all malise is……….
The readlness to discard and ignore mandane every day procedural rules………..
Like using your phone while at work……or obaying speed limit……..or obaying no parking zones…….
Simple rules like that……all races have people who overlook them, but black people are more frequently breaking them per head of population.
Maybe it is in our genes……..???

Although I didn’t vote in the last elections I am extremely disappointed that HH ( I don’t like him but I used admire) has turned out to be just another Charley come lately.
