MUTEMBO Nchito Takes Over LIATO’s K2.1 Billion Case, As He Pleads NOT GUILTY
Director of Public Prosecutions Mutembo Nchito has taken over the prosecution of the K2.1 billion case involving former Labour Minister Austin Liato and has since named state advocates Simon Tembo and S. Sumbukeni as other members of the prosecution team.
And Mr. Liato has pleaded not guilty to one count of being in possession of property suspected to have been stolen.
The former labour minister in the Rupiah Banda government is charged with being in possession of property suspected of being proceeds of crime contrary to section 71 subsection one of the forfeiture of proceeds of crime Act number 19 0f 2010 of the Laws of Zambia.
Particulars of the offence are that on November 24, 2011, Mr. Liato 46 did possess and conceal money amounting to K2.1 billion on his Farm number L. Mpamba 44 in Mwembeshi reasonably suspected of being proceeds of crime.
QFM News reports that Principal Resident Magistrate Aridah Chulu has since adjourned the matter to tomorrow for commencement of trial.

Am confused here,i don’t know whether i was dreaming seeing monies being dug out of Liato’s farm and police officers reporting to the whole world.I even saw liato being escorted by police officers and a woman purporting to be his girl friend running away from the camera.Now Liato says he is not guilty of the offence.Who is behind this?Is our police framing Liato?If so how couldn’t the workers saw the police burry and dig out the monies?
Liato,please,tell the nation the truth.Tell us how you got that money and how it found itself in the ground.You can’t suffer alone on behalf of some shavetail somewhere.I smell a rat here,no wonder big fishes are screeming for mercy.
MCS stay blessed,its because of your dedication to the corruption fight that we see,hear and read the anormally that racked the previous regime.

Mr.Mutembo Nchito is the most suitable person to handle this case. The other public prosecutors are clogged with cobwebs and can easily fell the nation through corruption because Liato is ready to do whatever it takes to free himself. The case needs a strong,firm and seasoned hand like Nchito’s. GO Nchito GO crack down the crooks,the nation is behind you !

Interesting what case he has been slapped with. He is not charged with burying or not banking money but obtaining stolen money. These are some of the things bloggers don’t seem to be considering.
