@ Ba Ndola. That SAP system was designed and managed by humans and is prone to manipulation. Imagine,someone in China or Russia hacking into the CIA secret system.What is SAP? What we need is accountability and proper system audit so that the inputs are not way off the mark.

This is not news. Ghost workers have always been there since Kaunda days. The problem in Zambia is that most ministries still use papers. If all ministries were updated and computers were put it would just be a matter of minutes for someone to delete someone who died from the payroll. As someone who worked in the government just for one item to be changed the piece of paper had to pass through 5 hands/desks, by the time that paper reaches the 5th person it is no longer a priority hence comes an opportunity for someone to steal or commit fraud. Technology is important.

This is what happens as a father if you try to steal in the presence of your children everybody will take advantage of it. When people were saying RB is a thief others wudn’t understand it see wat has happened now. There are alot of things which still need 2 be restored.
