Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Monday evening September 18, after Chiloba’s suspension, PS Kisiang’ani said he was also not aware of the cause of Chiloba’s suspension. He said that the CAK board has the authority to make such decisions but he will also interrogate the matter and report to the country. When asked whether the board is supposed to align such actions with his office, PS Kisiang’ani said that his work is to provide general policy guidelines. The PS also expressed that should the report be unsatisfactory, he has the authority to reverse Chiloba’s suspension. He added that the CAK was also probing the oversight of the Universal Service Fund (USF), but could not tie any of the investigations to Chiloba’s suspension.
