Livingstone District Director of Health Dr Jelita Chinyonga today appeared in the magistrate court on a charge of abuse of authority of office contrary to section 99 subsection 1 of the laws of Zambia.
Dr Chinyonga, 46, of House number 292 Mushili way in Livingstone, appeared before magistrate Edsen Shanduba.
She pleaded not guilty.
Facts before the court were that on an unknown date but between 1st November 2004 and 1st January 2005, Dr Chinyonga allegedly bought two vehicles from Auto Terminal. com of South Africa without following tender procedure.
Dr Chinyonga is said to have obtained an imprest of K83 million kwacha to enable her travel to South Africa to purchase one Honda CRV vehicle valued at US $8, 000 and an Isuzu Elf truck valued at US $9, 000 for the Livingstone District Health Management Board.
Magistrate Shanduba said the act was considered to be arbitrary and prejudicial to the interest of the Zambian Government.
Magistrate Shanduba has since set November 29 and 30, 2007 as dates for trial while Dr Chinyonga’s police bond has been extended.
