The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested and charged a former driver at the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) for allegedly obtaining more than K200, 000 by false pretences.

The suspect, 40-year-old Deacon Munjile of Chawama Township in Lusaka, has been charged with one count of obtaining money by false pretences, contrary to Section 309A of the Penal Code Act, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

The ACC said that between January and December 2021, Munjile allegedly obtained the money from Melvin Hichoonga, claiming he could facilitate employment for individuals and their relatives in various government institutions.

These institutions allegedly included the Zambia Police Service, Zambia Air Force, Zambia National Service, Zambia Correctional Service, the Office of the President’s Special Division, ZESCO and the Zambia Revenue Authority.

The suspect has since appeared in court and remains remanded in custody.
