Passports of  owners of Sun  Pharmaceuticals were released – Shamakamba

By NATION REPORTER

THOM Shamakamba, the former Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) director general Director General has revealed that there were no pending investigations against Vinod and Uddit Sadhu, owners of Sun Pharmaceuticals.

Responding in a matter in the high court, where Mr Shamakamba has sued University of Zambia law lecturer and former ACC Board member, Dr. Obrien Kaaba, Shamakamba stated that the ACC had released the passports of the Sadhus because all investigations were completed and the investigation file closed at both the ACC and the Zambia Police.

Mr Shamakamba stated that investigations against owners of Sun Pharmaceuticals were completed and that the Sadhus were cleared of wrong doing and that their file was closed and their payments authorised.

He also stated that when the complainant, the Kalengas were asked to appear before the ACC, they failed to do so and failed to bring evidence against the Saddhus.

Mr Shamakamba also stated that the ACC had informed the Attorney General to proceed to process the payments due to Sun Pharmaceuticals as there were no legal encumbrances.

He said when the matter reaches at trial stage, he would demonstrate that Dr. Kaaba defamed him and spoke without verifiable evidence.
