THE Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating PF councillor
Chikutano Nkhoma for alleged involvement in illegal selling of shops and
stands at Lusaka’s Northmead Market.
Nkhoma, who is Silwizya ward 13 councillor, was recently suspended for incurring a US$ 2,000 beer bill in Addis Ababa while on an exchange programme.
In a letter dated December 18, 2012 to the Lusaka City Council Town Clerk Andrew Mwanakulanga signed by ACC chief investigations officer Vincent Machila, Nkhoma, who is Silwizya ward 13 councillor, and four other officials had allegedly been selling shops and stands at Lusaka’s Northmead Market without remitting the proceeds to the Lusaka City Council.
“On 13th December 2012, this Commission received a complaint from Northmead Market traders alleging that Mr. Chitukano Nkhoma, councillor for Silwizya Ward 13 and his ward officials namely; Mrs. Rosemary Phiri, Ernest Ndwi, Gertrude Chanda and Limbikani Jere were allegedly selling shops/ stands at Northmead market for K 10, 000, 000 each. It was suspected that the proceeds thereof were not being remitted to Lusaka City Council,” read the letter in part. “It was felt that this is a matter that your office would be able to handle appropriately and provide redress since this Commission has not instituted investigations. We would be grateful to receive feedback on the action to be taken.”
