FORMER DC JAILED FOR ISSUING NRCs TO UNDERAGE CHILDREN
Former Petauke District Commissioner Velenasi Moyo has been sentenced to five months in jail for abuse of office after unlawfully instructing officers to issue National Registration Cards to minors.
The offence, committed between August and September 2020, was ruled by the court as detrimental to government interests. Though initially facing multiple charges alongside former PF official Goodson Lungu which were later dropped.
Moyo was convicted under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act and sentenced on July 30, 2025, by Magistrate Ackson Mumba.
What was the motive behind that??
She deserved a huge custodial sentence to stop this crazy issuance of legal documents. A huge number of West Africans had invaded Zambia and got dubious Passports that allowed them entry into the US without any intention of ever returning. Trup complained about Zambians who entered the US on one way flights and have no intention of travelling back. The biggest number of all these are West Africans.
