Principal Resident Magistrate Lameck Mwale found Ms. Sinyangwe, 49, of plot No. SUB G/16520 off Kasama road Lilayi old Airstrip, guilty of one count of Willful Failure to Comply with Applicable Procedure Relating to Procurement contrary to Section 34 (2) B as read with Section 41 of the Anti-Corruption Act No. 3 of 2012.
Details of the offense were that Ms. Sinyangwe who at the time of the offense was serving as Permanent Secretary-Administration at Cabinet Office, whose functions involved the administration and management of public revenue or property, willfully failed to comply with the law and applicable procedure relating to procurement when she awarded a contract for paving of Cabinet Office Car Park to Moonstone Investments Limited valued at K 89, 253.44, a matter or transaction prejudicial to the interests of cabinet Office, a public body under the Government of the Republic of Zambia.
Sentencing in the matter has been set for 27th December 2016.
Ms. Sinyangwe was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Commission in April 2015, and her conviction comes in the wake of reports of abuse of Authority and unaccounted for expenditure amounting to over K 8 million contained in the Auditor Generals Report.
The Republican President, during the Commemoration of the International Anti-Corruption day on 9th December noted that the reports of misappropriation and misapplication of public funds reported in the Auditor- Generals reports were disturbing, and because of this, he directed heads of public institutions and Permanent secretaries to ensure that stringent measures are devised to effectively prevent loss of public funds and achieve Zero Audit Query by 2018 in every public institution.
The Commission fully supports this directive and will endeavor to work closely with these institutions through the Integrity Committees to ensure that the Presidents directive is met.
Manje Mimba amudala kwati he is pregnant with triplets!
What about the RDC corruption cases at state house ;when and who will initiate the investigations?
Sinyangwe is targeted because she is now rumoured to be a UPND sympathiser. This is typical selective justice meant to show donors that Lungu is indeed clamping down on corruption when infact he is not.
Unforyunately the donors are fully aware who is stealing what and where the looted money is being hidden.
All these corruption investigations are a sham.
Lungu must fall by all means. VIVA UPND.
@Wenzelu so now when a person is arrested it’s because they are Upnd? If you have evidence of any wrong doing, you can report this to court instead of generalizing.
When is hh going to be investigated over privatisation saga which left him rich and a director of the same companies he privatized.

Anna Mwitwa?????
i know this madam from Mansa agric she was very humble. what happens kanshi with people when given authority and power?
Just like me I know her from mansa.Infact her hubby is a good friend of mine. Too bad! I wish this couple God’s strength during this period.
Are those Police Cells or animal sanctuary mwebantu? Iyee sure how can fail to fix such problems after 52 years of independence? How can you keep human beings like that sure? This is beyond imagination. If I was in charge of such a facility, I would for SURE resign in shame
Improving facilities for thieves when other innocent citizens sleep in the open like street kids is a misplaced priority.
If you want to see what a Belly politician looks like, look no further than Shamabanse.
Corruption, Gluttony & unhealthy eating, lack of exercise, more Corruption, S•X, heart attack or AIDS, then DEATH!!
By nature, this is not a tribe to entrust with public funds. Mwanawasa called them stinking.
Giving Bembas keys to the national treasury is like letting monkeys into a maize field.
Sinyangwe is NOT Bemba for Gods sake. Dont just hate people mwembwamwe, fikapoli
In that picture she was complaining about her future home. What great foresight
Those conditions for detainees have been like that for decades in Zambia. The key is to improve them whilst you have the authority to do so …………..and not to complain later when you are personally affected and out of power
Wonder how many kilograms are Shamabanses offals and mimba steak.
Ndalama Zibaba, used to be the name of my cow many years ago.
One case dealt with but so many more awaiting justice. Where is the bottleneck?
This is a useless story, written by someone who hates Annie Sinyangwe.
This is a story which is about 4 years old.
Why write about it noe?
Are you sure? The story says “Sentencing in the matter has been set for 27th December 2016.”
4 years later, she will be going to jail. Not perfect, but a good try at justice.
This tribe! Eeeh man.
Mabemba busholi!
Ya that’s what we need! KEEP ZAMBIA CLEAN by removing unwanted people in Places of Work.The Gov should also introduce measures to scruitenize those who practice NEPOTISM and TRIBALISM in different ministries.When they start employing in January,many applicants with good qualifications will have their applications turned down and employ unqualified ones.
The PF Agenda is only for Northerners and Easterners. We have eyes and we can see that these are very good at stealing and they have no shame at all.
Zesco boss nabbed, only because He is a thief. She like any other thief has been arrested
