High Court upholds ex-Zampost chief’s two-year sentence
By GRACE CHAILE
FORMER Postmaster General MacPherson Chanda and two others will serve the two years’ sentence pronounced by the subordinate court in July, 2022, for corrupt practices involving over K300 million after the Economic and Financial Crimes Court, High Court division, declined to reverse the decision.
The Superior Court in a judgement rendered in absentia of the appellants held that the Ndola Magistrate Court was on firm ground to have found Chanda, Best Mwaichi and Isaac Kamwimba guilty of theft by public servant as the trio fraudulently transferred the Social Cash Transfer (SCT) into a fixed deposit account for the purpose of accruing interest without consent from the treasury or the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services.
