Dr. Wani disclosed the ruling party, SPLM is going to form committees to investigate and prosecute its officials involved in the corruption scandal.

“We must strengthen party discipline especially by reinforcing political discipline, enhancing oversight of enforcement and improving investigation into and prosecution of corruption cases,” he said.

“This is better done through concerted efforts of party committee or sub-committees or through government agencies,” he added.

He reaffirmed his party commitment to resolve issues of low salaries of civil servants.

“We have no choice but resolve to eliminate malpractice. Our historical party is here to promote integrity by solving pressing and tempting problems of low salaries in the country,” he said.

“As part of our government Economic Cluster responsibility, we have made and are making remarkable progress in resolutely combing and rooting out unscrupulous officials,” he stated.
