“The MPs will travel to Malaysia to study their system and submit a report,” the legislator stated.

The visit comes as a surprise since in July 2018, Zambian MPs embarked on a trip to Kenya to benchmark on how to fight corruption.

The Zambian Committee on Privileges, Absences and Support Services visited the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) offices in Nairobi with a mission of borrowing a leafย from the anti-graft body onย how to tackle corruption.

“This is a study tour by our colleagues from the Zambian National Assembly. We are sharing with them our experiences as a commission when it comes to corruption and promotion of ethics in our country,” EACC confirmed at the time.

Reports of the trip also comeย days after Samburu Governorย Moses Lenolkulalย was arrested in connection with his county’s fraudulent deals amounting to Ksh84 Billion.

A detailed report byย The Standardย revealed that up to four governors would be arrested within the next month in relation to graft activities in their counties.

The report further indicated that up to 15 governors out of the country’s 47 were being investigated for corruption.
