The US embassy in Zambia has dismissed 10 employees for alleged fraud, misconduct, and corruption.

While the statement did not disclose their names or nationalities, it emphasized that no organization is exempt from corruption, which has detrimental effects on public services, national unity, and economic development.

The embassy highlighted its commitment to combating corruption in Zambia despite facing similar challenges in the United States.

This move doubles the number of American and Zambian staff terminated by the US government in the last 18 months due to fraud or corrupt practices.
