FORMER Agriculture and Livestock deputy minister Rodgers Mwewa and former Cabinet Office permanent secretary Anne Mwitwa Mwewa face arrest for abuse of authority.
Mr Mwewa, who is Patriotic Front Mwansabombwe Member of Parliament, was dropped by President Michael Sata as deputy minister last December with his Labour and Social Security counterpart Ronald Chitotela to facilitate their probe.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has since referred Mr Mwewa to the National Prosecutions Authority (NPA) for prosecution.
Mr Mwewa is alleged to have misapplied the Constituency Development Fund in Mwansabombwe by purchasing a second-hand motor vehicle to be used as an ambulance.
The ACC has also referred the abuse of authority of office case against the former permanent secretary at Cabinet Office in charge of administration Ms Mwewa to the NPA for consent to prosecute.
Husband and wife both facing prosecution. What a marriage.
And can someone confirm that they met when husband was Luapula province minister and wife P’S of same province.
@Mailoni, yes I can confirm that. The poor “educated” Annie ukutumpa, you know they think a MINISTER is the highest achievement job in Zambian society. She didn’t know Rodgers that he was just a PF thug.
The Story is all over.
Typical LT facebook jornalism
Saw their lavish wedding with stolen money.Ba kawalala ba mambala both husband and wife who belong in jail.
It’s good Sata fired them, let the old fossils rule ,young ones are all thieves.
Headline misleading
Exactly my dear!
But I hear the wife is a Lawyer?
She is and highly educated and was youngest in her role. @Nostradamus is wrong to say she was innocent.
Yes the headline is misleading, who could face arrest kanshi imwe fi LT?
The article is only talking about Rodgers Mwewa and Annie Mwitwa Mwewa. How does Chitotela come in?
Ba LT bushe ni Chitola or Mwewa and the wife to face arrest, your headline is very misleading, Can you correct dat please.Twalamisula ka
Ba LT bushe ni Chitotela or Mwewa and the wife to face arrest, your headline is very misleading, Can you correct dat please.Twalamisula ka
The story of these 2 has been reported under different Headers even in ZWD.
I think, they don’t want to use them as headlines because…….why?
Oh, got it! Have you guys seen the YouTube wedding of the 2? Very lavish, AND Guy Scott gives a speech, tells a joke about a Gin and Tonic…….typically. Maybe that’s why press are covering…..just the embarrassment of it all!!!
I think The husband committed an honourable abuse of office in redirecting funds to purchase an ambulance. His wife apparently used relatives to source curtains for State House and Airport? Giving a contract to relatives is a less honourable offence. All very weird!
Full support to ACCEPT on these. They are a bit of a hit and miss in actually winning their prosecutions of late and must sharpen…
That’s Full support to ACC. NOT to Accept, (auto correct word replace)!
Some people never learn this is the same lady who was at the center of controversy when at lands had her house raided and they found a white sofa with 40 inch television she then went to SA to try and clean the loot from brides she belongs behind bars not at the bar
