The Lusaka Magistrate Court has set April 22, 2021, as the date for judgement in a case where former Minister of Community Development Emerine Kabanshi is accused of two counts of willful failure to comply with the procedure in relation to the execution of the Social Cash Transfer programme.
The judgment was initially scheduled to take place this morning before it was moved.
After the prosecution’s case, the suspect was found with a case to answer and placed on her defence.
When the matter came up today, Lusaka Chief Resident Magistrate Lameck Mwale adjourned the case to the 22nd April 2021 for judgement.
In this matter, Ms Kabanshi is facing two charges of willful failure to comply with the law, applicable procedure or guidelines relating to procurement.
In count one, it is alleged that Kabanshi, being Minister of Community Development and Social Services willfully failed to comply with the law, applicable procedure, or guidelines.
This was in relation to procurement by extending the scope of coverage of the contract to include three provinces and two districts under the social cash transfer programme.
It is alleged in the second count that the accused willfully failed to comply with the law, applicable procedure or guideline relating to procurement.
This was by re-engaging Zampost as the payment service provider for the Social Cash Transfer programme following the termination of the said contract.

If ACC is investigating somebody for 48 houses, then somebody else also reveals they have 70 properties, then whether ACC did additional maths or not or calculus or not, the mathematics must be telling ACC that there is something to do here
Poor woman is being sacrificed, when the real criminals in Lungus government remain untouched.
Whatever happened to Mukula case involving Tasila and Jean Kapata…
If hh is fine and of sound mind, then why doesn’t he quell these rumours and address the nation on live TV for an hour minimum. Hh loves publicity so why is it hard for him to come out on live TV? There is no shame in one being unwell. We are all humans and are susceptible to illness.
Meanwhile congratulations to beautiful iris.
KZ I agree with you that there is no shame in being ill, why should hh be forced to come and quell rumours on tv, afterall they are rumours. HE ECL has never held a press conference regarding the many issues going on in Zambia, from corruption, bribery, unemployment of nearly 3 millions youths, the 48 houses, expired drugs, inflated costs of projects, selective youth empowerment which only happens in the election year. IF Mr Lungu is confident that the economy is doing well as it is alleged by PF, let him HE ECL come on tv and being interviewed. You will see how he will roasted. He has avoided that because he knows that he will be exposed.
I hear she is a member of central committee in Piyefool.
This selective government of lazy people.
Call for general conference and instead of people to vote then you come up with a doctored adoption process.
PF members are annoyed and you will see donchi kubeba within your party.
The silence is a signal of what step forward.
Edgar Lungu takes people for a ride.
Even Kaunda was better to stand against the frog at least people could choose between the two. That was his wsy of defining democracy within autocratic means.
PF must go!
