Largest-Ever Asset Recovery from Corruption Achieved

The Hichilema administration achieved the largest-ever recovery of assets from corruption in Zambia's history. This milestone was made possible through the establishment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Court, the strengthening of the Anti-Corruption Commission, and the commissioning of an independent audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers into the Ministry of Health, which exposed widespread theft and led to arrests and the closure of unscrupulous pharmacies. The asset recovery underscores the administration's commitment to accountability and the rule of law.
