Tasila Lungu loses K8.8 million farm to State
By GRACE CHAILE
THE Economic and Financial Crimes Court (EFCC) has ordered the forfeiture of Tasila Lungu’s farm in Sinda district, valued at K8.8 million, after finding it to be tainted with proceeds of crime.
In its judgement, the court stated that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had established, on a balance of probabilities, that the property was acquired through illicit means.
The court ordered that Farm No. F/2278 be forfeited to the state, to be disposed of as deemed fit by the DPP, within the confines of the law.
Tasila , daughter of former President Edgar Lungu, was also condemned to pay costs, to be taxed in the event of disagreement.

It was a forestry let it either continue to be one or give it to ZNS/Min of Ag or Livestock to be a learning center for young farmers

Based on “a balance of probabilities”…
Someone with a legal mind please advise… Does this mean “Innocent unless probably guilty”? That would be scary

It means that based on the evidence the court has seen or been presdnted with, it is satisfied that to forfeit the farm is the logical conclusion to the case. Money does not grow on trees. It has to have a demonstrable and legitimate source. To merely say that Tasila Lungu got the money from her father is not enough, especially when the alleged source is known, alive and capable of turning up in court to help the legal process come to a fair decision.

Some African presidents and their families are a big letdown. No shame at all!

The last two presidents we have had have been totally useless. Very very dodgy characters.
One enriched his family and cadres with unexplained wealth.
The other has made his LGBT sponsors very rich while making citizens very poor. He has fuck3d up big time this latest one.
The lacuna must be removed now.
Vote wisely in 2026.
