K1.9M WAS A GRADUATION GIFT FROM MUM, SAYS KAMPYONGO’S WIFE
Shiwangandu Lawmaker, Stephen Kampyongo’s wife Wazhiya Chirwa, has told the Lusaka Magistrate court that properties in Ndeke Village worth K1.9m she is accused of obtaining through proceeds of crime were given to her as a graduation gift from her mother.
This is in a matter the accused along with the husband are charged with 12 counts for allegedly obtaining property through proceeds of crime.
When the matter came up for trial before Magistrate Sylvia Munyinya, the accused informed the court that the properties being mentioned belonged to her mother, who later gave them to her as a graduation present in 2005.
She has submitted before court as evidence a handwritten letter to the Commissioner of Lands requesting change of ownership to Wazhiya Chirwa and a certificate of handover of title deeds as evidence in this matter.

Interesting that for someone that worked for some time at Min of Lands you would expect that they know land or property transfer attracts property transfer tax. Unless of course done via a ‘deed of gift’? I hope she also realises that now the may ask her to prove her mother legally acquired these properties legally
Nyapa tuli let’s wait and see!!
