Police in Lusaka have arrested Lawyer, Charles Siamutwa in connection with a fraudulent procurement of a consent Judgement pertaining to legal contest over the ownership of Ultimate Insurance Company.
Mr. Siamutwa of Charles Siamutwa Legal Practitioners has been arrested in LUSAKA, together with a Ms. Mulemba Mudenda of the same legal firm.
Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo has confirmed the development to ZNBC News.
Mr. Siamutwa allegedly prepared the Consent Judgment and signed the same jointly with a non-legal practitioner Howard Simutumba of Imasiku Law Firm which is nonexistent.
It is alleged that Mr. Siamutwa, occasioned the Consent Judgement, without the knowledge of a Mr. Chanda Katotobwe, who claims to be the rightful owner of Ultimate Insurance Company.
Mr. Siamutwa has been allegedly eluding the police for over two months.
The fraudulent Consent Judgement allegedly procured by Mr. Siamutwa in the Lusaka High Court, relates to the case where three Marshlands Consortium Limited Directors have been charged with forgery and uttering false documents over the ownership of Ultimate Insurance Company.
The three are Tobias Milambo, Nachi Musonda, and Richard Lubemba.
Mr. Milambo, 48 of Lusaka, Mr. Musonda, 33 of Chongwe and Mr. Lubemba, 31 of Lusaka, are facing 15 counts of forgery, obtaining money by false pretenses, and uttering false documents.
It is alleged that the accused forged documents purporting to show that they had been appointed as Directors at Ultimate Insurance Company Limited.
It is further alleged that between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019, the trio, with intent to defraud, forged a Valuation Report or stand 9192/35 situated on Manunga Road, Ndola.
The trio allegedly forged the document by purporting to show that it was genuinely issued and authorised by Bitrust Real Estate Innovation Solution for Investors, when infact not.
Last week, the Lusaka High Court quashed an application for Judicial Review where the trio wanted to stay proceedings on the legal contest over the ownership of Ultimate Insurance Company.
According to court records, the trio has severally been making stints to stay their matter, before the magistrate court by obtaining Judicial reviews to halt proceedings in the High Courts in Lusaka, Ndola and Livingstone.
Everyone in Zambia is now a thief…. from President to ………..
Great work ba zp. Now let the law decide. We also need to clean the legal fraternity like we are cleaning councils.
When president does not deny accusations that he is a corrupt thief, every body sees nothing wrong with being a crook

Apart from copper, Zambia under PF has added another 3 natural resources. These are overpriced tenders, political violence and fraudulent judgements. Have I forgotten anything other?
They are just following the Jagaban of corruption.
Let me break my new policy of refraining from commenting on LT due to someone copying my blog name. The Judiciary I hope is the one complaining in this matter. If I’m right, I look forward to seeing in the witness box the judge whose supposed judgement was fraudulently obtained. If a criminal justice system is able to nab lawyers and judges and better still, send them to jail then it’s good enough. That’s my own test of hw good a justice system is because these two are in a position to abuse the system as they know hw to get around it. So far no judge in Zambia has ever gone to jail but lawyers hv gone to jail.
Nemwine it is probably that cretin tarino. He has copied my name in past to discredit me but it never works

The case is an agly one in my view. Siamutwa knew very well about the consent judgement requirements. Now look at what he presented to the judge. A consent without a name. Who signed it? Which judge would accept such a document? Unless there is some underhand methods Siamutwa used. Its complicated. If this is sorted the whole case becomes easy to handle and culprits will be found wanting together with their representing lawyers
This is interesting
