Convicted Aaron Chungu and Faustin Kabwe demand re-opening of their closed case
File: Dr Katele Kalumba and Faustin Kabwe bundled in a police car after their sentencing to jail by a Lusaka magistrate Court
Still in legal matters, Directors of the defunct Access Financial Services Aaron Chungu and Faustin Kabwe have charged that millions of kwacha were paid to two witnesses that testified against them in their corruption case.
The two have since applied that their appeal case against their four year jail term be reopened to enable them submit evidence.
According to the summons filed in the Lusaka high court, the duo claims that two former employees of Access Financial Services Enock Mwale and Isaac Chitundu were paid eight hundred million and six hundred and fifty eight million Kwacha respectively.
They further charge that the two witnesses where also paid two point one million kwacha and eleven million kwacha in excess of their terminal benefits.
Chungu and Kabwe have since submitted a copy of the liquidation schedule where the said payments reflect.
The duo adds that out of the 14 employees of the institution mentioned in the liquidation schedule no other employee received similar amounts other than the two witnesses.
The former Access Finance Services Directors say should leave to reopen and rehear their appeal be granted, they intend to raise an additional ground that there was a mistrial.
They say their trial and conviction is a miscarriage of justice.
A panel of three High Court Judges among them Lusaka high court Judge in charge Jane Kabuka , Justice Nigel Mutuna and Judge Evans Hamaundu set 10th August 2012.
In 2010, Lusaka High Court deputy director of court operations Edward Musona sitting as magistrate convicted Dr Kalumba together with his co-accused when he delivered judgment in the long running corruption trial.

Stay in jail you two and shut up. We don’t need more con men out here.
Access ftnance were also engaged as liqiudators of parastatals together with HH Gramt Thorton and the late Brian Musonda.Access finance made their monies the same way as HH. So when the president says HH profited from privatisation he is correct.All these guys gave themselves golden envelopes and screwed the majority of workers.They are just like the russian oligarchs who profited from the corrupt privatisation under boris yelstin and the alluminium wars
Look at the names of the crooks. Tell me, are these Tonga names, Tumbuka names or Ngoni names. Aaron Chungu and Faustin Kabwe, which tribe is this, you guessed it, it is the mighty Bemba Tribe of thieves once again. We have been vindicated over and over and over again in our assertion that Bemba’s have long fingers and like to accuse others of being thieves. HH is not a Bemba and therefore cannot, I repeat, Cannot be a thief. Tonga’s are hard working. Do you know that in Tongaland it was allowed for visitors to help themselves with maize in their fields. This is how hospitable these people are. Stealing if foreign to Tonga’s but very common in Ulubemba. Sons of Kolwestans, we know your games. Please stop already!!!
Ba bricklayer, you cant even differentiate who is Bemba and who is not. Chungu and Kabwe come from Luapula and there are no Bembas in Luapula. As for hh not being a thief, kaya! Time will tell.
U come from a very stinky tonga cunt ba dala
#3bricklayer – ulitole – iwe lyonse ni tribal shiit. Get over that and debate obejectively
Insele a ba bemba. You cant debate without an insult. You cant handle money without stealing some. You need deliverance.
Give justice where it’s due. These guys are asking for their case to be heard and I think they’ve got every right to be heard. I strongly feel these guys have been wrongly convicted by people who were envious of them and have manufactured evidence in order to bring them down. Bad precedent we are setting!
Where is Zambia going even thieves can now talk.
Chi @3 Tongas are the most backward chaps. Who doesn’t know that. Tribe is all that matters to them. Fu-cking losers. Mwe fi puba.
Aaron Chungu’s balls are pumped because he can access the #1 conman Mutomba Nchito. Yes reopen the case before Judge Chikopo gets back to Nyasaland. I have respect to Mr. Kabwe. And when are they going to auction tuma small shoes of Titus Kafupi?
@Nostradamus,
Thats very funny :) Hahahahaha….. When are they going to auction to ma small sholes of Chiluba. Regina Chiluba is still enjoying stolen money from Zambians sure mwe bantu. I wonder who is now sleeping with her. I bet you its one of the PF ministers. Can GBM handle a woman? I doubt it given the structure of his belly. But Kachiluba kali Kalishilu sana!!!
The Bemba’s say, “mumbwe pakulila ninshi pali uko ashintile amatako.” The big question is, who is backing these thugs? It is a well known fact that Chungu and Kabwe acting together with former prez Chiluba plundered zambian coffers. Todate, we still do not know where they have stached millions and millions of dollars. This is the test for this govt. If indeed it is a govt that detastes corruption, then let them move now and show these heartless plunderes that stealing does not pay. What cheekness is this? These thugs have even the audacity to dare the zambian people when they are supposed to be seeking their forgiveness. God help zambia. Beware, the Zambian people are watching your every move bwana PF.
@ # 3 You have a terrible attitude about Tonga’s. Being humble does not mean being backwards…search your interllect. One day a Tonga will marry your sister or your daughter take it easy man
just serve the 4 years and get over it and be free. you have already done 2 years only about 1 year is remaining
they will soon strict a deal with MCS. how do u explain katele’s praises of MCS
PF Bemba theives
