Injustice; Amos Chanda has been jailed for 12 months on allegations that in October 2022, he stole a court record and wilfully destroyed the file involving a case where the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had earlier entered a Nolle Prosequi .
To convict Chanda, the court relied on the evidence given by a DEC Officer, who recorded Amos’ alleged own “confession” during a night outing at Sarova Hotel.
Does Amos work in the Court registry? Who obtained the said court record from the Registry? How did it reach Amos Chanda? Did anyone see Chanda steal the file and destroy it? Why are they not arrested alongside Amos Chanda?
Doesn’t a criminal matter require the legal burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt to affirm a conviction in a criminal case?
Why is the standard very low in this case?
This is another case of desperate abuse of the court process to punish persons that served in the previous government using any means available.
Very irrelevant argument from mwamba former killer
Mwamba, ur one of those useless pf members . How do u come here on social other than going to courts of law to adjudicate the case with proven evidence
Mwamba go and ask Amos…who are you directing that question to? You should have gone to court to provide evidence that Amos didn’t steal the docket. You’re a foolish coward
Mr. Mwamba is implying that the court should have disregarded Mr Canada’s confession that he store and destroyed the court records in question.
I would suggest that he makes an appeal in court. The only danger is the appeal court may decide to impose stiffer punishment, given the seriousness of this case.
I forgive you because you were my favorite presidential spokesperson! And I still believe the MMD mentality is in your brain.
But my advice is, please go and make Amos chanda tell the Authority who gave him court documents.
We don’t need DEC, POLICE to investigate this no no no! Just ask Amos he knows the truth.
