Former Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo’s wife, Wanziya Chirwa (left in picture), has been jailed for three years by the EFCC in each of the five counts she is accused of possessing tainted wealth – with sentences running concurrently effective today.
Earlier, her husband was freed of possessing property suspected to be proceeds of crime by the EFCC for possessing tainted property.
In August 2024, Lusaka Magistrate Sylvia Munyinya set September 27, 2024 as judgement day in a matter where Stephen Kampyongo and his wife, Wanziya Chirwa, were charged with possession of property suspected of being proceeds of crime.
In this matter, Kampyongo, who is former home affairs minister, and Chirwa were charged with 12 counts of being in possession of property reasonably suspected of being proceeds of crime.
Kampyongo was facing four counts while Chirwa eight.
It was alleged in the first count that Kampyongo and Chirwa, jointly and whilst acting together with other persons unknown, did possess property number F/135/4301 and property number F/179/4301 located in Eureka off, Kafue Road, valued at K11,100,000, property reasonably suspected of being proceeds of crime.

Kkkkkkkkkk me l’m failing to understand the all thing , “what about the engineer , the starring Kkkkkkkkkk the owner of the soup , what happened ? ” Did she found herself already in action doing things which she wasn’t supposed to be done? Kkkkkkkkkk , ndelolesha fye , because the questions are too hard to be answered in our beloved country called Zambia.
A big thing is coming for that karondo money changer
Mr.Mwila said that when pf loses power, many will be jailed. Just wait and see how many will be jailed. Crime does not pay!
3 years is too lenient! Those who steal chicken are given 5 years sentences. So how come this woman who stole public funds, leading to shortages of medicines in hospitals is only given 3 years simple sentence?
How much did they bribe the magistrate with? Clearly, there was an exchange of money here. After 1.5 years, the woman will be freed on parole. It just shows that stealing pays!
