A joint team of investigative wings has summoned former Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) Chief investigations officer, John Nyawali for questioning over a scam involving gold worth about seven-million-United States dollars.
Mr. Nyawali, who doubled, as the Commission’s spokesperson joins a catalogue of high profiled former Government officials to be quizzed in connection with the Gold.
This is according to sources familiar with the development. He is expected to appear before law enforcement officers at the former Task Force on Corruption offices in Woodlands Extension on Monday, 19th March, 2012.
When contacted he was not available for comment.
Zambia’s newly-elected President Michael Sata recently linked Former President, Rupiah Banda, his son James and former press aide, Dickson Jere to the gold scam that was irregularly sold.
The gold was seized from two Zimbabwean nationals in 2007 when they entered Zambia in an attempt to evade Zimbabwean authorities.
Zambia prosecuted the Zimbabweans and jailed them.
While the forfeited 119-kilograme gold was under the custody of the commission, it went missing.

This boy was very arrogant and disrespectful to elders especially President Sata. On that day when Sata was teargassed, the chap was heard later yapping nonsense, yet he was hiding behind the veil of being DEC spokesperson. How do you confiscate gold from criminals and in turn take pecuniary interest in it for personal gain? Shame! Maybe, even countless 90 Kgs sacks of marijuana confiscated was not destroyed but used for smoking.
Settling scores=more brazillian chicken=more money for brazil+RSA
Aha! it was just a matter of time.
Is he a former? I hope and pray Nya-bwali is not in the country, if he is should just leave via Congo where he has better connections. Damn, they need to clean some of those people. What about MUTEMBO? John please spill the beans!!
6 months on and no one has formally been charged over the so called gold scandal?
Sata, can you please start working.
Ba zakamba ku sogolo
You seize gold from criminals and become gold criminals yourselves? you risk being sorted out the day you are jailed by the original owners coz you definitely find them where you sent them(jail)
Spend four years on revenge, one year on fake-campaign development.
