The Kasama Magistrates Court has convicted and fined a 33 year old man of Mwinilunga in North Western Province who was charged with the offence of giving false information to a Public Officer contrary to section 125 of Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

On 19th October 2017 at Nkole Mfumu checkpoint on Kasama-Mpika road, Graig Malambo was found driving a light truck Hino Ranger registration number BAF 2031 which had on the door writings “Insp Gen Kakoma Kanganja, Mwinilunga family.”

Traffic Officers manning the checkpoint became suspicious, stopped the motor vehicle and queried the driver about the the writings on the vehicle and in response Malambo said the truck was a property of the Police Inspector General, Mr Kakoma Kanganja which information was not true.

He was then arrested and charged with Giving false information to a Public Officer which is contrary to section 125 of Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

Malambo appeared in court yesterday where he pleaded guilty and was fined k1,500 in default face six months simple imprisonment.

This is according to a statement issued by Police Spokesperson Esther Kakoma.

  Isaac Newton Its a reflection of the fallen education standards in the country:
  “Mwinilunga man convicted for lying of driving a truck owned by Police I.G Kanganja” That cant be a headline
  Perhaps “Mwinilunga man falsely claimed truck he drove was owned by Police I.G Kanganja”

Upnd will stop at nothing. This chap could have committed untold misery which was going to be blamed on Kanganja. He should be imprisoned.
