ZRL CEO Atanga Denies Drawing Two Salaries

Dr. Atanga has disclosed at a media briefing in Lusaka this morning that the Eurobond money is still intact and being kept in the ZANACO bank account.
He says the expenditure of the money will be done in a transparent manner as the Zambia Railways Limited is under watch by the Anti-Corruption Commission and the office of the Auditor General.
Dr. Atanga has also disclosed that the procurement process to award tenders to procure spare parts to rehabilitate the locomotives and wagons will also be concluded this month.
And Dr. Atanga has dispelled assertions suggesting that he is getting salaries as Zambia Railways Limited CEO as well as Transport, Works, Supply and Communication permanent secretary.
Dr. Atanga explains that he is only drawing the salary of Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Transport, Works, Supply and Communication.

Here are two facts:
1. If while acting ZRL CEO Atanga is still the substantive PS at Works Supply & Comms, then there’s nothing wrong with him being remunerated for both. And he must not even feel guilty about it. These jobs go with a lot of responsibilities and folks once he commits a serious & costly error of judgement in this acting capacity, we’ll be the same people baying for his blood. No one will want him to be forgiven only because he was acting.
2. ZRL should spend the eurobond correctly & responsibly for the benefit of the people of Zambia & also because its right to do so as per prescripts of good governance, but NOT because ZRL is under the watchful eye of the ACC & AG. What is he insinuating would be the case if ZRL wasn’t being watched by these institutions?

We all know that the money is still intact at ZANACO, how ever the insinuation that ZRL will buy goods from Manufacturers is false as the Tanzanian Companies where ZRL intends to buy Equipment are also importers just like Zambian company can somone explain the logic.
