EFF DEMANDS HALT ON AUDITOR GENERAL’S OFFICE OPERATIONS OVER ALLEGED CONSTITUTIONAL BREACHES
By Leah Ngoma
Economic Freedom Fighters-EFF Leader Kasonde Mwenda has demanded that the office of the Auditor General cease all operations under Dr. Ron Mwambwa, citing alleged constitutional breaches surrounding his appointment.
Dr Ron Mwambwa has submitted to the constitutional court that he was never appointed auditor general of the republic of Zambia, and that the press release relied upon by the Law Association of Zambia-LAZ, which is challenging his appointment, is not a letter of appointment to the alleged position.
But Mr. Mwenda is dismayed that Dr. Mwambwa has continued to function in office since 2024, which raises serious concerns over the legality of audits and administrative decisions undertaken during this period.
Mr. Mwenda says the unfolding controversy is symptomatic of deeper institutional dysfunction and a governance culture that disregards constitutional norms.
He has since called on President Hakainde Hichilema to clarify whether Dr. Mwambwa was appointed with his full authority, and if so, revoke the appointment immediately.
