Share

The Drug Enforcement Commission has arrested former President of Zambia Cricket Union Andrew Shawa and former treasurer Ketankumar Nailk for various money laundering activities.

Shawa aged 64 and Naik 43, allegedly stole money amounting to over 270 million kwacha, property of Zambia Cricket Union.

Drug Enforcement Commission -dec Acting Public Relations Officer Samuel Silomba says between January, 2006 and December 2011, jointly and while acting together stole the money from the cricket union of Zambia.

Silomba told ZNBC news in a statement that Naik is also believed to have forged four receipts for Eeves Limited amounting to K72 million which he later fraudulently altered to Auditors purporting to show that the sum was paid for rentals.

He is further believed to have engaged in an act of false accounting by presenting petty cash vouchers purporting to show that the money on the vouchers was used as expenditure by Zambia Cricket Union when in fact not.

The duo has since been released on bond and will appear in court soon.
