DEC Interrogates BY

Ben Mwila

Politician, Ben Mwila was yesterday interrogated by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) in connection with the bouncing of cheques in favour of Tokyo Vehicles Limited.

Mr Mwila arrived at the DEC offices in Lusaka around 09:20 hours and was interrogated for about two hours. He faces a possible charge of issuing cheques on an insufficiently funded account.

DEC spokesperson, Samuel Silomba confirmed that Mr Mwila was summoned and appeared before a team of officers who interviewed him regarding some cheques he allegedly issued on an insufficiently funded account.

“He appeared this morning (yesterday). We interviewed him in connection with the bouncing of cheques. This is what I can say for now,” he said.

Wade Adams Foundation and Construction, a firm owned by Mr Mwila, is alleged to have procured two vehicles from Tokyo Vehicles Limited and issued post-dated cheques, but later advised the firm not to cash them.

The firm got the vehicles worth K110 million in December last year, but the amount has not been paid in full.

  1. @4 John, they are finished…or is it banking on payments from the government, and government decides not to do the needful in time? Whatever it is, it is not good. Poor planning.

  2. He should explain about the bouncing checks. The Keembe Mumbwa Road is in dispairable condition, fulll of pot holes, i would call them trenches, coz the vehicles go down and coming out, all the tires, springs thowing out. MMD should be blamed for choosing BY, with out equipment.

  3. Crony capitalists who rely on govt business, were they do not compete on a level playing field,usually end up not being able to pay bills at days end.

  4. #1 you fun man, so Ba BY had just ka packet of tumusebanya, ends up offering porridge to the in-laws.
    When I read headline, I thought BY was back in selling bamututila to the Zambia Police.

  5. BaBY efyotabalefwaila change of govt pantu he knew ati his days of tenderoreneurship would be over. Mupelekeni kundende uyo. These guys mistreated one George Mpombolistic.

  6. But they advised the company not to cash them. And why should he face a case of issuing cheques on a insuffiently funded account. Is it his personal account or company account? Is he being sued as Director??

  7. If you Ba BY you give in and pay ninshi mulichipuba yama mwebo. Learn from Mutembo Mmembe, you don’t need to pay back credits.
