“Chanda Mulenga, 51, of T5, Kariba Road in Kansenshi, Ndola has been arrested and charged with one count of willful failure to comply with procedure in management of a contract,” Moono said.
He said this was contrary to Section 34(2)(b) of the ACC Act No. 3 of 2012 and two counts of obtaining money by false pretenses contrary to Section 309 (a) of the Penal Code Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.
“The suspects have been remanded in custody and are expected to appear in court soon,” Moono said.
