Court Orders Forfeiture of Charity Katanga's Buses and Funds

The Lusaka Magistrate Court has ordered the forfeiture of ten Higer buses and funds from Chibeka Express Limited, linked to former Deputy Inspector General of Police Ms. Charity Katanga, to the State. This decision follows a Conviction-Based Forfeiture application by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), which identified these assets as proceeds of crime. The ruling aligns with Section 10 of the Forfeiture of Proceeds of Crime Act No. 19 of 2010.

Ms. Katanga, along with unidentified accomplices, allegedly acquired these assets between January 1, 2017, and June 6, 2022. The court's decision highlights the commitment of the Zambian Criminal Justice System to address economic and financial crimes, demonstrating effective inter-agency collaboration among Law Enforcement Agencies and the National Prosecution Authority (NPA).

The DEC reaffirmed its dedication to holding individuals accountable for criminal activities and reclaiming illicit assets for the public benefit.

Political Advert.

Paid off Advert.

Kitwe Mayoral aspirant, Mr. CHAMBALA MAZIMBA, has continued giving off steam with a calm attitude and practically displaying qualities and maturity in a leader, unlike some jokes and casualties witnessed around the space, in the name of aspiring for the city mayor in the Kitwe District.

MAZIMBA works both hard and smart and looks at things positively with serious approach.

It's on the UPND ticket that MAZIMBA wishes to stand and so far so good, the name is making some good calm noise.

'' I think it's time to get started. The people out there are waiting and talking about the same,'' MAZIMBA says.

The Kitwe mayoral race aspirant has on its turf, Charles Kabwita and Nicholas Mwansa.

Mazimba appears to have more followers so far and is headed for higher numbers if he plays cards well.

POLITICAL PARTIES,NGO CONDEMN LUNGU'S COMMENTS
Some political parties and Non Governmental Organizations have expressed disappointment with former President EDGAR LUNGU's call for early elections.

UPND Consultant MARK SIMUUWE says politicians should not incite citizens to remove a democratically elected government from office.

In a statement released to ZNBC News in Lusaka, Mr. SIMUUWE said the country expects the opposition to offer credible checks and balances to the government.

Meanwhile, Movement for Multiparty Democracy-MMD-Acting Chief Spokesperson BRENDEL PHILLIPS said it fully condemns Mr. LUNGU's statement because the current government is trying its best to grow the economy.

And Foundation for Democratic Process-FODEP- President MUMBUNA MWENDA said former President LUNGU should explain to Zambians what he wants to do that he failed to do in the 7 years he was given.

And Burning Bushes Ministry Overseer STEVEN NKHATA said it is unfortunate that the opposition have turned a house of prayer into a place of politics.

BREAKING NEWS:

RAPHAEL NAKACINDA SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN JAIL FOR JUDICIARY REMARKS

In a significant legal development, Raphael Nakacinda, the Secretary General of the PF party led by former President Edgar Lungu, has been sentenced to 18 months in jail by the Lusaka Magistrates Court for his inflammatory remarks regarding the judiciary.

The ruling, delivered this morning, comes as a direct consequence of Nakacinda's attempt to implicate President Hakainde Hichilema in purported clandestine meetings with judges, allegedly aimed at influencing judicial outcomes.

However, Nakacinda failed to provide substantial evidence to support these claims during court proceedings.

Nakacinda's sentence serves as a warning to politicians and public figures against making baseless allegations that could undermine public trust in the judiciary and erode the rule of law.

K100 million Eurobond vanishes without trace.

THE Auditor-General’s report has revealed that K100 million which was drawn from the US$1.25 billion third Eurobond account and deposited into Control 99 for budget support has remained unaccounted for.

Zambia obtained US$750 million Eurobond in 2012, US$1 billion in 2014 and US$1.25 billion in 2015.

The Auditor-General’s report also noted that no tangible investments were done with the Eurobonds that the country obtained.

In 2020, Zambia became the first country to default on its debt leading to a debt-restructuring programme with its lenders, including bilateral creditors.

How can a country develop like this?
How can you have cheaper fuel like this?

A special audit report on Zambia's procurement of petroleum products, between 2019 and 2022, has revealed financial irregularities totaling over $1.3 billion.

The report reveals potential fraud involving irregular payments to suppliers of over 36 million dollars, due to inflated invoices.

The report which covers the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022 further revealed wasteful expenditure of over 40 million dollars, in legal and arbitration fees, which arose from questionable decisions made by then government officials.

Other notable audit findings include failure to pay suppliers of petroleum products in amounts totaling over $898m.

This is according to a statement made available today by Head of Public Relations at the office of the Auditor-General, ELLEN CHIKALE.

Acting Auditor-General, RON MWAMBWA has advised the Ministry of Energy to submit petroleum procurement plans to the Zambia Public Procurement Authority, in line with the Public Procurement Act to avoid uncompetitive and emergency procurements.
