Former intelligence Chief, Xavier Chungu, has been denied bail in the case where he is charged with forgery and altering false documents.
Lusaka magistrate,Joshua Banda, ruled on Friday that Mr Chungu cannot be granted bail because he breached trust by jumping the previous one.
Magistrate Banda however granted Mr. Chungu leave to appeal against the ruling.
The case has been adjourned to April 30 for continued trial.
Chungu is alleged to have altered details on his passport, the document he used to travel back home from where he was hiding abroad.
He is also facing other charges related to plunder of national resources.

The rule of law must be respected.
Well done .Last time he went AWOL
After seeing those luxury water crafts belonging to Chungu, brother should stew in the slummer for now and think about what he did!
Those jet skies where not his they actually where government property but he registered them in his name. He was probably going to hand them over but the guy did not think for once that he would leave the hot seat. Why because FTJ hand picked Late mwanawasa
The news in Zambia keeps getting better. This case should be put on television; that way hearts that were hurt can be soothed. Let the law prevail.
Way to go. Do not temper with the law of the Republic of Zambia.
Respect the law and you will be respected too.

When you are a leader bear in mind all the times , that nothing lasts forever . Leave good laws in place , the greatest evil to humanity is greed and selfishness…….we gather what we sow
I am surprised..this man had escaped!
These heartless,unpatrotic,shallow minded, useless,selfish,daytime robbers… Zambians should face the wrath of the law
Let the Law take its place and see to it that Chungu accounts for what he did
