Henry Kapoko, the man embroiled in the scandal at the Ministry of Health has Sunday been given another charge.
This is for issuing a cheque on an insufficient funded account.
Commissioner of Police Graphael Musamba said this is contrary to the national payment and systems act number one.
Kapoko who is remanded in custody has already been charged for theft by public servant.
Meanwhile Police have formally arrested six officers from the Ministry of Health in connection with the K27 billion scam at the Ministry.
Mr. Musamba said they have been arrested for theft by public servant.
He told journalists that the suspects are being held at Woodlands and Kabwata police stations and that they will appear in court, Monday.
On Saturday police said they had picked up six officials from the ministry of health and the operations manager at Best Home lodge.

Things are indeed happening!!!
The problem with rural people like this thief is that, how can you surely steal so much from a poor country and still go to wrok and expect everything to be normal as usual. That is madness. On the part of GRZ, how can a simple civil servant trick you of so much monday and it takes years even to realise that the thickness of corruption in that poor country is alarming
I feel sorry for Kapoka’s family.
I wonder who else will fall with this case – such a pity that things have to come to this. Let us pray that people with access to funds are not tempted by money, for it is truly the root of all evil.
MATWORLD, am dissapointed,
am sorry that you are sorry for a man who has made many people not access their health facilities as they should as citizens of Z. Jesus said, ”uwanga no lupanga, akafwa kulupanga”.
How much was the cheque for? Seems to be rather trivial matter
We need more arrests. Why then did Kanganja or Kanjanga suspend 32 officers at Health ministry? This is a selective judicial system like the plunder cases where we have very few jail stories yet many stole.
K450000 kwacha a night!!!!! zambian lodges and guest houses need a reality check on prices.
To me the shocking thing is that he still wants to got out on bail depsite all he has done. No remorse I thinks.
#2,its quite difficult to follow your ‘rural’ argument. Miti is from your so called ‘urban’, luanshya and he continued to go to work as well. Please give us more details about this rural theory. Suffice to say in developed countries the theory would not apply as rich people tend to live in rural areas while the poor are crammed in the inner city areas.
I have no faith in this fight against corruption coz it is so selective. Why only ka Kapoko? There are masterminds of the 27 Bilion, why are they moving freely? Miti must be arrested as well.
bane if you are going to steal make sure there is a SAFETY NET,when things are exposed.
the secret is adopting characteristics of an ARACHNID.
“given another charge” says the story above instead of has been charged with another offense or allegation.. Kapoko is feeling the heat right now…thou shall not steal..hopefully you are not guilty, because if you are?
At this point Kapoko can even be charged with stepping on an ant.
If he dares to trump loudly in the cells, he will be charged for that as well.
This scandal is like an octopus, it has numerous renacles and I can see some of them reaching out to Zondwe Nwacusa Sata, Kapoko’s wayward uncle.
The one thing I wonder though is when Gen. Brian Chituwo is going to be brought in for questioning, I mean, he was the minister in charge and all this played out under huis nose. He must have stolen too. If not, it’s worse, how could all this play out under his very nose and he did not know? Unforgivable negligence it is truly!
When is Brian Chituwo going to be brought in for questioning? I mean, he was the minister.
Its like Chiluba plundering while that silly monkey Gen. Miyanda chili ndwiii in the dark as VP.
Miyanda should have been hanged for idleness, how could a Katangese plunder us like that right under the nose of an entire general? These Zambian general of faeces!
What we need is a Jerry Rawlings to come and kill all the thieves so that we can start afresh.
Brother ShakaZulu, you are a general too. Zambian this time does not need one person it people like you to act, I hope you In Zambia, you are alone if want you can terminate those thieves you call Leaders. Let us wait, some of those who are in diaspora and have relatives Robbing our Nation should be punished first , because it the stolen they pay for their school her….
If what has been reported in the tabloid is true then things are really happening.I reckon kapoko is sweating blood by now.Ubushiku usheme ne cimbala ciloca,so here you go kopoko!
i didnt knw overdrawing was a chargeable
offence, anyway its kapoko who cares.
or maybe it was catch me if you can….? its chargeable!
Exhibit 6 shows that Kapoko has no money in bank, therefore he may not be gilty of stealing much.
as long as civil servants get peanuts,corruption will never end!!!!!!alread the 15% increase is more like adding salt to an injury!!!!!!
mulongeni……..
The matter is very unneccerssary. How many have given cheques with insufficients funds accounts. Because its Kapoko it is an offence to be published to the world that Kapoko had even given a chq for an account that had no money. Now Kapoko will be charged for being found with food in his mouth and the world will be made to know about it. Rubbish!!!. This is now stinking. You people have already gotten kapoko. We are interested in finding out the other culprits. Where is Chituwo, Miti and RB in this. They should also explain how the image builders ended up using MoH fascilities during RB’s campagn period. Umutembo ufinina konse konse bane. Chiwamila Galuma mbuzi.
Sorry the last statement was supposed to read “chiwamila galu kuluma mbuzi” Pardon me please.
Just cage this fool! No way one man can put the rest of the country in such quandry!
Bouncing or issuing a cheque when you know that you have insufficient funds is a serious offence. Back then the banks were supposed to just charge you a fee for bouncing a cheque but now BOZ has put in law where the culprits of such offences are to serve time. Unfortunately the banks are not good at enforcing this and BOZ people are still sipping coffee and reading newspapers for them to supervise the banks. I think Kapoko will be the first to be sentenced.
5.BA NIGERIA .
Iam really sorry that I have disappointed you with my coment above,but I didn’t say that I feel sorry for kapoka,I said I feel sorry for his family.
fyabiba ifintu i think i should’nt have bought the hummer
Hi Matworld. Why are you feeling sorry for the family. Better direct our sympathies to the hundreds of people who have died as a result of this sort of recklessness. His wife nayena, knew obviously mudala. Sunaiwone suit yamene anavala ku court madam? Let them face the music.
Had it been in Saudi Arabia, Kapoko and his cohorts would have had their smelling hands chopped off for stealing. I am extremely disappointed with Matworld whom I hold in high esteem that he can sympathize with this multi girl friend owning Kapoko
Big Moze.
Hw are you mudala wandi,I have no doubts that you are a lovely weekend.mudala Iam nt feeling sorry for Kapoka and the the wife but the family ta large including the litle baby.Mudala its difficult to adjust from riches to poverty,from Benz to a bicycle.But as we all know no sin goes unpunished.
# 19 what does Gen Miyanda got to do with the subject at hand. what did you expect him to do to Chiluba…kill him?? Mwanawasa resigned did that stop Chiluba from stealing?? And Chituwo??? If you know how the civil service operates then you will understand that the minister is involved for policies and not day to day operations of the ministry. Thats not to say he might not be involved but just that the CEO of the ministry is PS. Picture it more like how an The board and shareholders of a private company find out that money has been stolen. Just being a board member does not mean you also stole.
The bible says God will expose you. All good things come to an end. We are struggling to work up to go to work and someone just steals money just like that.
Am glad HH is learning the tricks of the trade from King corbra at an impressive rate. Keep up the pressure on Nyama soya, wind him up he
until breaks down and eventually crumble. Make him get out of his cocoon to listen to what people are saying. He’s just a human being he wont sustain the silence, the pressure is building up in his chest and when he bursts in anger he will definately make a fool of himself again like last time. Now here is the quote of the week ” When you see a political party like the MMD appointing a minister for you in the Southern Province like Munkombwe who has no teeth in the mouth, you know there is a problem. I told you that Munkombwe is not capable of looking after this province or looking after a village.” says HH

Nkani yalula for Dr Mitti
Balebakaka, balebakaka, BAALLEEBBAAKKAAKKKAAA!!!!!!
We should see these pipo to the last point of judgement. Let these chaps be caged. No nolle prosqui
Dr Mitti differed with the AG at one time when they appaered b4 PAC chaired by the galant Hon Milupi. He defended the law breakers at MOH. Meaning that he was fully involved. Chikwiindi iwe chimitti
Things are bad
The charge of drawing a cheque on insufficient funds is a ploy to deceive Zambians into thinking that the money which was actually stolen was not as was earlier reported in the media, and then use the bounced cheque as proof of that line of argument. They are simply trying to fabricate psychological cover ups.
Because in all fairness, how on earth would someone who has stolen billions have no money in his account to clear a cheque. Childish tricks.
Insufficiently drawn cheques are the responsibility of banks to deal with. They could give an overdraft or refer to drawer.
Zambians, wake up. Mind, Kapoko has only been formally charged with stealing K1.9bn. What happened to the rest of the money??
What are the hotline numbers (ACC, DEC) for reporting suspected theft by public servants?. Truth is the civil servants will continue to be corrupt as long as government continues to think those salaries in Public service are normal. How can a Medical Doctor survive on a K4 million kwacha salary? 90% Cival Servants get below 1.5 Million kwacha a month. One wonders why 80% of these poorly paid workers live above thier means in Chalala and other site and service areas.
Why is Mulongoti acting as Minister of Health, where is the minister of health, has he been suspended, is he also involved in the 27b scam? we need to know why Mulongoti is acting as MOH?
This thug deserves a bit more worse, Kapoli wamupamba uyu. 7 girlfriends, several concubines..
kutemwa Amanone…,
#29 Kadoli fimofimo, you are very right. Everyone knows that Kapoko is not the only culprit in this matter K1.9billion fine went to Kapoko, what about the other K25.1Billion, we want to know. Stop this nonsense of parading yourselves to talk about bounced cheques, without even mentioning the amount involved. No matter what Kapoko is a sacrificial lamb. Plenty of people with connection to MMD are involved in this scam. So stop this nonsense about
Iwe LT this sentence “has Sunday been given another charge.” did you mean to say “has since been given another charge?”
Last week my friends baby (1 yr 9months) got burnt by a maid, somthing like 18degrees burns. went to UTH and only to find the trainee nurses on duty. she was only shown how to wash the wounds and was given only panado. By midnight the temperature of the baby rose to 40degrees. she was advised to put itembusha by other mothers in hospital. she tried bt the baby couldnt survive, she died at 05hrs in the morning……THANKS TO KAPOKO AND OTHERS
The question is who is shielding Doctor Simon Miti. He is deeply involved in this scam.
majority workers in Zambia are civil servants, very poorly paid. do you expect our doctors & teachers, all support staff highly learned individuals to live in shanty compounds? what most civil servants get is below reasonable accommodation in Lusaka & Zambia as a whole. How do you expect corruption to be eradicated in Zambia when U give someone who has spent 4, 7 years at UNZA or 3 years at School of nursing K1,200,000? & for this new increament of 15%? 4get a corruption free Zambia. Nurses sell drugs never readily available in hospitals, homes hv bn 10ed into abortion theartres, doctors do more of private works, teaches teach by remote control (just leave a note book with a pupil to dictate to friends) & homes hv bn turned into tuition centres. those stratigically placed steal.
27 billion out of which 2 billion is with Kapoko. Who has the 25 billion? Why the excitment with the 2 billion. Yes I am stupid, please enlighten me.
“It was a joy hunging out with you Mr Kapoka. But now that you’re in hot soup, I, along with the other mimbulus you used to splash money on, have to exit. We have to find another Kapoka before we start starving” so said a Mumbulu. And you, #55 Thenji, naulasa mwandi. Every civil servant in Zed is one kind of a mumbulu or another. It may sound comical but it’s very saad really.
I advise Kapok to wake up and not let himself suffer for others involved in this record breaking scam. Speak up and give the names of your fellow thieves no matter how big they are and tell the nation how you did it. Things are already Bad.
a chain of government officials soon they will come up its not only Kapoko the clever HR. lets wait and see. I hope its not a LIP service we are getting because pa Zed awe kwena
kapoko ba zamumanga but Chiluba akalipo…
Yabaaa! My beautiful wife and lovely baby
#29 n #51 rumour has it that some people are slipping off the list of 32 people being investigated. its sad that kapoko has got such publicity yet others who have similar cases regardless of figures are getting away quietly. i heard some of the property that was taken away has been given back to some indivivals.TETA and his crue have not given us infor on the other 31 and what the investigation team has found and why & who hot the property back. you cant fight corruption or abuse of office to target some individuals. we need the report published if at all there is one as we cant rely on rumours..
Kapoko is giving reasons for those sodomites in prison to at least think that what they will do to him is fair and justifiable. Kapoko must also be charged for promoting Mmembes lifestyle.
My fellow bloggers, follow this case carefully. The prosecution team is panicking right now. To go and charge Kapoko for bouncing a cheque is just one way of still finding something for him while they wait to lose the other charge. These pipo told us Kapoko bought the property from the money he stole. But out of all the K27bn. and all the state resources to investigate him from auditor general, DEC ACC, Police and intelligence. They only came up with K1.9bn for this year february which was a contract to supply baby kits. The deal was even bonded by Goldman insurance hence no loss could have been possible for health. I join others suspecting these investigators to hide something. We need to know who they are shielding or whether they are not just trying to keep our ears from Dora and RB son
BA BEMBA CHE’ !
He’s as innocent as Siliya!
there is no “evidence against this guy” watch as the case gets thrown out!you people think that money was hidden under a mattress?how many ministers are chewing that money right now?this guy won’t set foot in jail just watch,our justice system is a frikkin joke! they will lock up a poor fellow trying to feed his starving kids, and let these thieves causing so much death scotfree! RB meanwhile is fighting for his life!why the F_ _ K should he rush to RSA?he does not trust our health system after they(MMD)has destroyed it so the onus is on Zambians,how many can afford a flight to Jo’burg or lodging?i hear silence!WAKE UP VIMA ZAMBIANS WE ARE SITTING WITH OUR THUMBS UP OUR ASSES WHILE OUR NATION IS PILLAGED WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kapoko this kapoko that, why not just arrest the chap and through the keys in the Vic Falls, sorry he might end up stealing the falls aswel. Find some where to keep the keys, probably with me, Dora Siliya…………
This is a real joke. The poor guy Kapoko has been slapped with another charge for issuing a check in an insufficient bank account. Other banks in the world would be happy to have this guy as a client. The banks would be happy to collect finance charges on the insufficient account. If he doesn’t pay, they would be happy to put a lien on one of his properties.
As long as Auditor General is pre-active, Government resurces will continue to be plundered. The Government must put stingent measures to curb these crimes. We do not have proper feeder roads, our grand mothers grand fathers have no fertilizer. Yet someone is busy stealing from Government. That is very unfortunate both to Zambians ad Donors at Large. I am happy that our listening President has let the Law take its course. Viva RB viva long live MMD
