The Lusaka magistrate court has heard that three of the four documents used to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser valued at $90 000 are missing from the Zambia Air force (ZAF) file cabinet.
This is in a case where former ZAF Commander Sunday Kayumba is charged with abuse of authority of office.
This was after the matter came up Wednesday for continued defense before Chief Resident Magistrate Charles Kafunda.
Particulars of the offense are that on unknown dates but between 18th March and 24th April 2001 Lieutenant General Kayumba allegedly directed or authorized the buying of a Toyota Land Cruiser in breach of laid down procurement procedure.
ZAF Commanding Officer Central Equipment Depot, Colonel Davy Zulu, told the court that he could not find the accounts file, the Local Purchasing Order and the Certificate of Receipt after a thorough search.
Colonel Zulu said documents of such transactions are kept at both the CED and ZAF Headquarters adding that a search at both premises was in vain.
He also told the court that all transactions regarding the buying of equipment, including motor vehicles, are accompanied by the missing Local Purchasing Order.
But Lieutenant General Kayumba denied having directed or authorized the buying of the Land Cruiser Registration number AXX 1176 (ZAF 3471B).
The former ZAF Chief said it would have reflected in the correspondence with the supply department if he was to forego regulations.
The matter comes up for continued defense on February 6th, 2009.

I have been waiting the whole morning for something fresh from LT. This looks like a good one. There is a lot one can say but I will wait. I have read everything and now fellow Zambians let us proceed. The floor is open!!
Well done l-), now let me read the story…
These people are corrupt believe me!!
Kuti waseka! how?? Funny indeed!
You mean all this time the prosecutors did not get those incriminating documents? am I missing something? This Task force will also need another task force to look at it….I smell a fish…
LT find a better title for the article
A lot of documents mysteriously go missing in Zed. Some comments on LT also go missing after a while. If you don’t believe me, just write “nambala one” on the next first comment.
Baby C, you are representing the EU zedians very well…keep it up and Nine Chale as well..
This drama is so interesting! Something fishy here.I smell a rat, 4 rats infact, as ba maureen would say, but i wont mention any names!

Its not Suprising att all!!!!!!
Thank you #8 Engine Bbuloko, I’m trying my best.
Is that a Belgian flag you have? I hear there are a lot of Congolese there, how is it?
#7 Nine Chale
naughty!ooops sorry =))
No evidence no trial. I blame the magistrates because even before the trial commenced all documents to be used as evidence are supposed to in custody of the magistrates. How is it possible that evidence of this sort must not held at Zaf . I hope the courts have some type of copies because what kind of courts expect a defendant to show up with evidence that will incriminate him.
There is certainly some thing very fishy going on. It is clear that officer responsible for safe keeping of such vital documents had his hands oiled. There is need to probe all the office orderies, secretaries and whoever frequent those offices. Late Levy started the fight against corrupt leader, lets ensure that we continue with it without being deterred
Rupiah and george at work. how come? documents cant go missing on thier own

There is more to this story. A lot of things are happening right under our noses. they think we are too St$$$t to see notice it. How on earth can one explain the missing of such sensitive documents??? Tomorrow, they will come up with another lie. just wait and see…
:-\”:-\”
DOESNT TAKE MUCH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED
Just check properly ba Colonel epecially ku HQ not even CED++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Iye mayo kuti waseka. How can the documents go missing in the cabinet. Someone, somewhere is behind it.
SOLUTION;
* Valuation – ZAMBIA
* Sell – ZAMBIA
* SHARE PROCEEDS EQUALLY AMONGST ALL CITIZENS
* THAT WAY EVERYBODY BENEFITS – COUNTRY NOT GOING ANYWHERE ONLY A FEW ARE ENJOYING WHILE THE REST OF US ARE SUFFERING
MY BLOOD WONT BOIL ANYMORE, THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO SIT AND READ BLOGS ON LT.
Kayumba and the late LPM were like a phone and a sim. He even said that the car was given to him through the directive from Levy.
WE WILL ALL BE ALLOWED TO INVEST OUR MONEY INDEPENDENLY IN WHICHEVER WAY WE LIKE
What a lie. The same govt has hiden the file. They want to set him free.
Ba Kayumba also to follow Singogo,pantu Comfort Lodge and Genuine Collections leaves much to be suspected.
Colonel must hav been promised sum shares mu comfort lodge. Ba magistrate naimwe utulo,y cant u request for an LPO frm the supplier of the vehicle?Becoz the duplicate goes to supplier and the quadruplate remains in the Order book for future refernce.Get the old LPO,amano ukuchepa
Lawyers can you please advise us on this one. What happens next? Let us know if this is the end of the story. I want to knock off
This is really interesting

Baby C dear hav a blessed nite.Am out!!!!!!!
Bye everyone. :-h:-h:-h:-h:-h:-h:-h,
Ladies and Gentlemen, these are jokes on the part of the witness and the court as well. If the court seriously want a copy of the LPO, they can get it from copy from the order book, supplier’s copy, court can ask supplier to avail copy of order.What the hell are the courts wasting time to send Kayumba to prison?
Kayumba is a thief and corrupt general. All so called generas are corrupt. The only way to stop corruption in defence force is to terminate and cancel all employment contracts for generals. All current generals are criminals with wealth they cannot account for.
documents concerning big bwanas go missing in courts reason to find a way out of the mess. i think singogo had no friends in the Magistrate courts.
Zoe
Nite :*

MY DEAR DO YOU THINK THEY CAN BE SO DAFT AS TO LEAVE ANY DOCUMENTS LYING AROUND CARELESSLY THEY MAKE SURE ALL DETAILS DISAPPER EVEN FROM THE SOURCE I PRESUME THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THIS IS A COMPUTER AGE ALL INFO HAS BEEN DELETED
:(( why buying a vehicle at $ 90,000?
that money can buy about 5 veicles that will stand the taste of time (and our zed roads)
I too smell a Rat, A big dead Rat.Baby C.
Something fishy is going on here. Do these pipo have the Car in question? If they have it then, were did it come from.
i need answers chop, chop. one two, one two .one two.
Give me the answer.
Lock them up and throw away the keys. simple.
Star baby Hi
I equally need the answer
Jamaco ,
Dont worry about the heading.
i need answers you people.
all of you Babys :*:*:* I will also become Baby Engine Bbuloko…

Why not if you can handle the pressure of being one.
Its not easy you , just ask Baby C and the rest
OK guys case closed then. How convinient!
Yalilila pa Zed. 😉
this thing of sayin things are missing is not true coz they do the same when they are even makin payments so that u give the money to look for the papers
they have hidden the documents not only to serve their former boss’s backside but theirs as well.
Case should be thrown out, the arresting officer should have secured the evidence until it’s submitted into evidence. Why did they leave the documents at the scene of the crime? And these guys at task force command so much money!!!
Balekeni ba mudala. He is too old to go to jail and be married by one of those kaponyas in there!
Now this is what they call perverting the course of justice. Anyway, since the documents were already presented to the courts of law, ther should be no going back. We should lock up the custodian of those documents together with Kayumba. The law is getting tighter. be real ma soldier and don’t steal like Chiluba who never had the disciplined training you received at tax payer’s expense.
The third speaker, from Nigeria , stood up:After last year conference I go house and tell my husband say I no go cook again, cleaning or go market for am again, and dat he go dey do am by imsef. After the first day I no see anytin. the second day sef, I see notin. But after the third day, as the swelling begin go down, I start to see small small from my left eye
Remember, it’s very difficult if not near impossible for a woman to know where the husband is all the time. Now, how do you call a woman who knows where the husband is all the time ?
WIDOW.
I agree with Zoe… poor Sigongo paying for Kayumba’s sins..
:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o is this for real, help me guys…i cant believe it…:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

First it was General Songogo and now Kayumba both from ZAF though we had the former ZNS Commaander also done. What is happening to our Defense Force Commanders and probably their subordinates?
Sad revelations indeed.
Even here Ba Maestro just got the left overs!! The Rest ni Zee!! |-)
A copy of the Purchase Order duly authorised by ZAF officials can be obtained from the Supplier just as the Good received note and invoice copy as well can be obtained from the Supplier
imwe bantu theres no way a commader can be involved in the buying of the vehicles. they have the procuremeny office. if he was involved then theres every reason why the docus are missing. But pa zed pali ukawalala. i think i will come back and became a ZAF commander as well L General Gelo. nantepe zambiri bonse ma bloggers will be entitled to free duty free beer ku zaf mess. bwanji bantu bonse.
I smell something I can recognise, a very big fat dead rat! The justice system in Zed is corrupt, be rich & u keep away from entering the galos quickly, be poor they get you in with impunity. only when there is pressure from the populace are we seeing convictions of big fishes.We are waiting & I repeat we are waiting for the big one. The locking up of FTJ. That day it will be a holiday in Zambia.Please the Judicially dont temper with our anticipated salivating appertite. Conviction will be sweet,The short man looted a lot.

#1 and 2 what a hillarious start you have given us. thanks for making me laugh there is some hidden humor in your postings.:d
Nanga ku Toyota Zambia? Balibe back up? obviously they should have recieved a purchase order or something bearing the signature of the authoriser who in my opinion could have been the man in charge. if GRZ has lost their copy am sure the car dealer could have his.
THATS WHAT CORRUPTION CAN DO.
