MAN WHO OBTAINED OVER K153,000 GOVT SALARY WHILE EMPLOYED ELSEWHERE APPEARS IN COURT
A 50-year-old clinical officer who, allegedly, entered into another employment contract while still employed at the Ministry of Health has appeared before the Lusaka Magistrate’s Court.
Daniel Banda is in this matter facing one count of obtaining pecuniary advantage by false pretense.
It has been alleged that the accused person being a public officer employed in the Public Service as a clinical officer general in the Ministry of Health, by means of false pretences, dishonestly entered into another contract of employment with Clinton Health Access Initiative without resigning from his employment from government, thereby obtaining pecuniary advantage in the sum of K153,012.46 from the Zambian government, a matter concerning the Ministry of Health, a public body.
Mr. Banda has since denied the allegations and his trial is expected to commence on August 27, 2024.

Can somebody tell me what’s wrong with this assuming the man didn’t miss any work and went to his 2nd job when he was off from his 1st job. The man is simply hard working and not robbing or stealing from anybody here so why arrest him. Kapunda gets off work at 5pm, from 6pm to 8pm he makes amalasha for sale, should he be arrested?
Ba upnd want this man arrested because he comes from eastern province.They are full of hate these idiots.
If what he did is against the law he deserves to be prosecuted. But if it is not he will be acquitted. It is stupidity of the highest order to see everything through political, regional and tribal lenses.
