Two police officers accused of receiving a bribe amounting to K32 million yesterday appeared for mention in the Lusaka’s magistrates’ court.
Before magistrate Lameck Ng’ambi was Mabvuto Ng’uni and Evaristo Chisanza, both 35 and chief inspectors who are accused of receiving a bribe from a Zambian of Asian origin, Ahmed Bharuchi, amounting to K32 million.
The duo is alleged to have engaged in corrupt practices by public officers contrary to sections 15 (1) and 40 of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Act.
It is alleged that on April 2 this year, Ng’uni and Chisanza, by virtue of being public officers, received K32 million from Bharuchi as an inducement for them to discontinue investigations against the latter for an alleged offence of fraudulently dealing in a motor vehicle, a matter that was under the Zambia Police Service.
The officers are scheduled to appear in court on April 31, 2011 for mention and possible plea.
The two officers are being represented by Milner Katolo and Frank Tembo.
In another case, the Lusaka magistrates” court has sentenced three Kabulonga Boys Secondary School pupils to 12 months imprisonment to be served at a reformatory school for the juveniles after convicting them of engaging in an indecent act.
Five Kabulonga Boys Secondary School pupils between November 2009 and June 2010 were accused of having committed one count of indecent practice between persons of the same sex.
The boys allegedly coerced a fellow 15-year-old pupil to suck their private parts before subjecting him to anal sex. Two were acquitted.
The trio is aged between 16 and 18 years.
Lusaka magistrate Mwaka Mikalile said the offence committed by the three was serious, shameful and unnatural and should be condemned.
She said all the three juveniles and the victim needed counseling.
Ms Mikalile said the juveniles should undergo 12 months intensive counseling at a reformatory and further counseling at the Young Men’s Christian Association.
She said there was need for the juveniles to be taught what was right and what was wrong for them to grow up as law-abiding citizens.
A social welfare officer, Sandra Ndhlovu Muhango had submitted to the court that the juveniles were remorseful of their conduct and asked for lenience from the court.
