Two sympathisers of Brian Mundubile, president of the Tonse Alliance, have been apprehended by police outside the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) headquarters where the lawmaker appeared for questioning.
Among those picked up is former Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency director general Victor Nyasulu. Mr Nyasulu was seen in a video circulating online being lifted by several police officers and placed into an open police vehicle.
Police also detained another man earlier for alleged misconduct following a brief altercation with officers as Mr Mundubile was arriving at the ACC offices.
Mr Mundubile, who is Patriotic Front member of Parliament for Mporokoso, was subsequently questioned by ACC officers. In a statement issued after the interrogation, the commission said the politician had been warned and cautioned over alleged irregularities in road contracts valued at K1.5 billion.
The development comes a week after Mr Mundubile was arrested and charged with a cyber-related offence.
Hullo you Bemba cousins. What’s the meaning of “Mundubile”?
