During the past week, Gabriel Chembezi, Acting Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), led a delegation of officers from various law enforcement agencies, including the Police, Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA), ACB and offices of the Attorney General and Director of Public Prosecutions, to a training program in South Africa.

 The program, supported by the Basel Institute on Governance-International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR), focused on international cooperation in criminal matters, including asset recovery. The delegation visited the South African National Prosecutions Authority, Financial Intelligence Centre, and Special Investigating Unit.

 

One of the participants for the training, Faith Ngondo Chipanda, Senior State Advocate, Attorney General’s Chambers, applauded the training, stating that what emerged as a core insight from all agencies is that success depends on clear, structured systems; robust processes; and competent personnel.

 

The ACB continues to deepen its commitment to combating corruption by building strong skills in the anti-corruption drive, among others, through cooperation with local law enforcement agencies and international partners such as the International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR).
