Court bailiffs in Mansa in Luapula Province have seized goods worth millions of kwacha from Tomorrow Investments following a court order.
And Government has directed the court not to auction off building materials which have been grabbed by the court bailiffs from Tomorrow Investment in Mansa because they were procured using government money.
Luapula Province Acting Permanent Secretary Clement Siame confirmed the development to ZANIS in Mansa today.
Mr. Siame said the building materials including a Benz Truck and a Tractor were seized from Tomorrow Investment after the company was dragged to court by one of its former employees for non-payment of his dues.
The Permanent Secretary said the property was grabbed by court bailiffs after it failed to pay its former employee.
Mr. Siame said Government had paid Tomorrow Investment upfront for the projects it was carrying out in the province.
But the company abandoned the projects it was awarded by the Ministries of Health and Education two years ago after receiving an upfront payment.
Mr. Siame said Tomorrow Investment used the money it was paid by Government to procure the items which were seized by the court bailiffs.
“As Government we have intervened because these items cannot be auctioned off because they were procured using government money. They are government property”, Mr. Siame said.
The Permanent Secretary said the company was awarded contracts to build schools and health centers in the province.
A check by ZANIS at Mansa Magistrate court found several building materials and other items belonging to Tomorrow Investment outside the court.
The items are due to be auctioned on Friday this week.

Yeah right # 3.sue 2mr Investments not interfering with the court order.
Wat the hell does he think the worker will do.The guy succesfully sued wen u govt chaps were seated ndwii.
i’m not a lawyer but siezing these goods doesn’t sound legal to me !!may our more erudite comrades shed some light as to the legality of this politically motivated action!!
Why was the company paid in advance for works that had not even been done? I can understand being paid an advance, which is later deducted form the first invoice at the first milestone of the project.
This just shows that the government does not have qualified project managers.
Seize the properties and let justice prevail. Wonderful. We’ve heard enough of these stories of unfair treatment.
You think you can get away with not paying an employee for his services?
Looks like there’s no tomorrow for these guys
