The Lusaka Magistrate court has been informed that much as Mr. Kapoko experienced excessive pumping of blood to the heart, the case was not serious to stop him from standing trial.
On Thursday, Mr. Kapoko refused to stand trial demanding to be taken to the hospital because he had High blood pressure.
Mr. Kapoko informed the court that the high blood pressure was triggered by the courts decision to revoke his bail after he was accused of selling a property that is an exhibit in
Meanwhile, Mr. Kapoko has admitted getting a loan using a house that is part of the exhibit in court.
He has told Lusaka Magistrate Exnobert Zulu that in his foolish thinking he thought it was not an offence because he had title deeds to the property.
He pleaded with Magistrate Zulu to exercise leniency because he had financial pressures that led him to breach his bail conditions.
But Magistrate Zulu wondered why Mr. Kapoko took that action despite the court having told him that the house he is living in will be managed by the Anti-Corruption Commission and not him.
In the main matter Mr. Kapoko and nine others are accused of having involved themselves in corruption, money laundering, and theft of over 6 million kwacha from the Ministry of Health.
When the matter come up today, Mr. Kapoko’s Lawyer Kelvin Bwalya asked Magistrate Zulu to consider hearing him in the chambers and not an open court.
Before this application was made Mr. Bwalya also read out the content of the medical record from UTH.
The magistrate has since revoked Mr. Kapoko’s bail
Sometimes it’s better to be poor and happy. There is no short-cut to getting rich. You may think you were never caught but your deeds catch up with you. Thanks cries of poor people you stole from reach God’s ears. This a lesson to People who are stealing at this time.
Yes sometimes. Just sometimes. Not always
How sad that Zambia is no longer the land of copper. It’s now the land of Kapokos!
This is how Lungu will end up…. watch this space
No comment from Kapoka’s young sister Mushota. She stayed in the same house with Nick last time they visited and not even buying vegetables kabili ba brother had money!
Kapoko isn’t the only one in the Ministry of Health where money meant for the dying silent majority poor has been stolen, abused, raped, adulterated etc by these heartless zombies.
Watch-out criminals your day of reckoning is on the horizon! Whether in ECL’s time or way after that.
Kopoko you cant get favour from doctors people you stole money from
@Lombe (MA),People never learn!!!Right now there are people who are looting & as if there is no 2moro!
Kapoko nkani is still there.
This is just a spec of an iceberg
In the “court of public opinion” which is usually right, the guy has been a thief and is still a thief. Lock him up and let me swallow the keys and I will go into hiding.
wages of sin
Our judges will once again let him off with a light sentence.

Selling a property managed by ACC is an imprisonable criminal offence if that property is at or part of the criminal investigations.
Foolish people.
You mean you couldn’t put a caveat on that property.
This guy must be a cellmate to Under Five Card. Both of them never received Under Five vaccinations.
When I become president I will make sure that Under Five gets the same cell with this guy.
mapolo ya kapoko
Let him be in cells: Did he not know that stealing is a sin both on earth and in Heaven?
Did kapoka have affiliations with a particular party that he has to suffer like this when we can see in broad say light others are doing the same? Do unto others what they would do to you. Zambia is a corrupt country and let this guy free or else things will turn around one day.

This matter has been in Court over eight years, why? The Judiciary needs self introspection. Can they benchmark themselves with the South African system. There are still a lot of good people on the bench striving to serve society fairly and honestly and deserve our support.
How long has this case taken? Started somewhere in 2008? How long will it take. Can witness properly remember the details and how many are alive? I love China because by now the guy would have been publicly executed by firing squad at Nkoloma stadium.
Why apply for the matter to be heard in chambers he is not a high profile man but a common crook so the state will have its day in court. Second let the ACC charge and try him for disposing or indeed obtaining a loan against a property that is suspected to have been gotten from fraudulent acts. Also the ACC is sloppy they should place a caveat on ALL properties they have an interest in otherwise this crook advised by a crooked client will encumber more properties to pay off his legal fees
True, every word you’ve said.
