The Zambia Law Development Commission Director Hope Chanda has appeared in court on two counts of corrupt acquisition of public property.
In the first count, it is alleged that Ms Chanda willfully failed to comply with procedures when she awarded a contract worth 60,000 Kwacha to Chipo Mushota Nkata for consultancy services.
In court two, it is further alleged that the suspect willfully failed to comply with procedures when she awarded a contractor for catering services to Vinnid Innovation.
When the matter came up in court today, Ms Chanda pleaded not guilty to both counts.
After taking plea the state applied for an adjournment which was granted by Lusaka Magistrate Greenwell Malumani.
The matter has since been adjourned to August 27th for commencement of trial.
What else has this poor single lady done?
60K only.. Awe sure..?
Meanwhile the big corrupt fish in pf like lungu are still free to steal.
I’m certain, beyond doubt that there is something sinister about this case! There appear to be no corruption whatsoever. Why are these guys scandalising Hope? The real corrupt individuals are sipping on whisky right now.
don’t forget 60k for such a small commission is a lot of money plus this ZLDC has been notorious for hiring suspect DGs who have left under a cloud of indiscipline….she failed to follow procedure what remains is if she benefitted from the same or abused her powers of office
And still ACC is sitting on the FIC Report…
Corruption is corruption, no matter how small it is. Don’t forget this sickness always start small, chagwa started with the widow now it’s mansions in eswatini.let her be jailed.
