The Lusaka High Court has directed former Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) National Secretary, Raphael Nakacinda, to provide a detailed account of proceeds from the sale, exchange, or alteration of ownership records for 16 party motor vehicles under his leadership.
Justice Pixie Yangailo ruled that the misuse of these resources during Nakacinda’s tenure undermined the integrity of the party.
The court also ordered the recovery of 26 motor vehicles that were gifted to former President Rupiah Banda by the illegally elected National Executive Committee (NEC).
Additionally, the court mandated a comprehensive audit of the MMD’s bank accounts, which were reportedly depleted after Nakacinda’s removal.
The audit aimed to trace all transactions conducted during his “illegal tenure” and recover any misappropriated funds.
MMD’s legal representative emphasized the importance of accountability, stating, “The party deserves restitution, and the audit will help ensure justice is served and resources are restored.”
To facilitate asset recovery, the court authorized MMD to collaborate with the Zambia Police to inspect the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) database and reclaim vehicles registered under the party.
Nakacinda, now the Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General, was also ordered to pay the legal costs incurred during the case. However, the court granted him leave to appeal the ruling.
