Zambia's newly-elected President Michael Sata has dismissed the head of the country's anti-corruption¹ watchdog.

赞比亚新当选的总统迈克尔·萨塔解雇了国家反腐败部门首脑。

A presidential statement said Godfrey Kayukwa would be replaced by Rosewin Wandi, without giving further details.

Mr Kayukwa is considered to be a close aide to former President Rupiah Banda, who lost last month's tightly-contested elections to Mr Sata.

During the campaign, Mr Sata pledged to stem（阻止） out corruption among government officials.

And during the swearing-in ceremony last week he said: "Corruption has been a scourge² in this country and there is a wide link between corruption and poverty."

The previous government was criticised for not being tough on tackling graft³（移植，嫁接） .
