The Lusaka Magistrate court has set July 20, this year as the date for judgement in a case where former President, Frederick Chiluba, is facing theft by public servant charges.
Dr. Chiluba, is jointly charged with two directors of the defunct Access Financial Services-AFS, Faustin Kabwe and Aaron Chungu in a case involving 500 thousand US dollars.
Ndola High Court Deputy Registrar, Jones Chinyama, sitting as magistrate in Lusaka, also set April 24 as the date by which the defence should present to court their written submissions.
Mr. Chinyama said the prosecution team will on the other hand be expected to make their submissions in reply by May, 22.
On Friday, the defence team led by Lusaka lawyer,John Sangwa, concluded its defence.
The defence called several witnesses to the stand who also included Auditor General, Anna Chifubgula, Attorney General Mumba Malila and Task Force on Corruption Executive Chairman, Maxwell Nkole.
Dr. Chiluba was take to court to answer charges of theft after his immunity was removed by parliament in 2003.

Is this the final end or the beginning of the end?
The heading reads “Judgement day” ! :-B Chiluba needs more warm clothes. I wonder how someone can sleep peacefully when one reads such a heading!!
Never slept since the whole thing started ,that man kaleza is a ………………..i can’t say
I can assue you, he is unpertubed. Not even a single strand of his hair is moving. He knows he won’t go to jail as long as K.K. didnt. He is telling himself .. Why me?
Meant I can assure you…

Happy red nose day bloggers
Hey Spring Chicken, we are Zambians so we have black noses not red ones!
But you need to support the cause.Most of the proceeds go to Africa!
Ba 9 Chale ,iwe just help cos most of the money goes to OUR AFRICA
infact they are supporting some Zambian kids £15 each for the whole year.That really moved me to donate.
WHATS THAT ABOUT? TATWA FISHIBA KUNO
Hey supergal,
you are screaming.
Whats going on?eh whats up?
Gday to you .
At least he will experience Chimbokaila even if it’s for a few days pending his appeal bail hearing!
I hope they can finally make a final decision.
April,may, june, JULY! Ok
$500 000 only? Im shocked. Is that they only case Chiluba has been going to court for and how much have we spent on the task force? Oh! heaven help us.
This is complete ludacris.
HONESTLY THAT IS VERY LITTLE MONEY TO SEBANYIKA FOR, ESPECIALY A MAN OF HIS STATUS, HIS FRIEND MADOFF IS GOING TO PRISON FOR 50BILLION…Bby the way very soon we will be able to know how much is in his switz account, as they will soften the privacy regulation,
So the Switz Bank laws will soon be against their odds???
Bali muchibe kanshi, for so little money mentioned so far already.
Verdict:Gulity Sentence:5 years with hard labour 2 days at Chimbokaila later:Bail granted
SAME STORIES ,NOTHING NEW UNDER THE ZAMBIAN SUN
July is too far for us but too soon for FTJ. we will be waiting……..
99 days to go….
A basikolo imwe mwayamba kuwelenga masiku? tili tonse.
Too bad for FTJ. I wonder if him and the wife are sleeping well.
They are both confused. I bet they sleep like logs. They both appear as if they have no care for the world. Probably they know the outcome already.
2376 hours to go…..he must be feeling the same way he felt when he locked up KK
A basikolo imwe, K.K. wasnt locked up for long. Anatuluka mundende fast track. Naye Chiluba azanushamo chabe mphuno no tuluka mundende and be free like K.K. very soon.. So don’t get too excited!
Can all the magistrates and everyone involved in drafting the final judgement be put under tough state protection. We have not forgotten Paul Tembo may his soul rest in peace.
So Kafupi was srtipped off immunity in 2003?? Kanshi fika kakana mu July.
They don’t seem to worry.If anything they are looking forward to put this behind them.They know the outcome just as we do.RB is on their side including the Judiciary.Have you not noticed how FTJ has stopped having those frequent trips to SA?He feels a lot better now.
the wife went ku chimbokaila to prepare the place for the hubby. so its clean. am still the soccer fun of chiluba. i will bail him with my stipend since he is charged for stealing 500 000 zim dollar i have 1000 russian dolars oweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee mayooooooooooooo this is serious . nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
soriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii chiluba you are a man reallyyy ahahahahahahha oh no ok
am joking noooooooooooo ahahahahahah let me stop here yaba
Are you the one whose zhopa is freezing?
#15, is it Vodka at work? or under influence of Vodka?
WELL THE ZAMBIAN COURTS ARE MAKING MONEY FOR THE GOVERNMENT FROM THESE CORRUPTION CASES SINCE EVERYONE WHO IS JAILED COMES OUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IN PRISON ON BAIL. IS ANY OF THESE CONVICTEES GOING TO SERVE BEHIND BARS LIKE RICHARD SAKALA???
I don’t understand – how do bail payments make the Zambian courts money?
FTJ will only spend a day or two in prison and his bail will be out. This means this case will keep going till another Govt. comes in. I can’t believe his case is still in the magistrate courts…I thought the wheels had span faster than this…typical. Stop playing with the Zambian people and get this job done. It’s either you find guilty/innocent ASAP. Some us need to move on.
JD you are right this thing has gone on for donkey years. I can imagine the headlines all over Africa when the verdict is read out. The papers would be sold out. But this chap also is thereanything he can do to save face he insists on not being guilty when he knows what he did. What is there to lose really the Zambian public is forgiving when you apologise, has he no remorse for the suffering poor from whom the money was taken? I wonder…
finally this chap will be told what we have been waiting for
veda are you sure.
you will be judged too.
i like mr chiluba if i had a way i would have done something.
sharp!
May the Lord protect magistrate Chinyama until he delivers judjement.The scenario I see is that Chiluba and his team will be locked up just like the Defence and Security chiefs but RB will exercise his prerogative of mercy and release all of them before the election in 2011 in the name of creating a “new beginning”. After all did LPM not hint that he would consider pardoning Chiluba?
Even 2 years in jail is enough, good lesson
Zoona, that will help the man to reform or repent
I’ll meet you on the Judgement Day!!
Hey LT, Mr/Mrs/Ms Jinja Yobwelela, excuse me: what time did Mr/Mrs/Ms Jinja Yobwelela publish his comment? B/se mine, which is later, is exactly at 10:24 pm, on March 14, 2009.
can some one stand up and i ve never commited a wrong. he is just human and deserve a heart. i mean what he has gone thru from the time is something that can make one to realise and repent. if thats the case even Vera should be put to jail for she was married to him, and she enjoyed what ever he bought for why just Regina? i feel its not fair.
Gud day
