ACC takeover Kapoko’s properties

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has taken over the management of seized properties from Mr Henry Kapoko, the former Human Resource Manager at the Ministry of Health.

This comes in the wake of the court ruling by the Principal Resident Magistrate Exornobert Zulu made on August 27, 2014 in the matter in which Kapoko is facing 69 counts of theft by public servant, failing to account for possessions reasonably suspected to have been stolen, and money laundering contrary to the Laws of Zambia.

According to a press statement issued in Lusaka today by ACC Public Relations Manager, Timothy Moono, the Anti-Corruption Commission seized five properties from Kapoko in 2009 during the course of investigations into the Ministry of Health K10 Billion inquiry.

Mr Moono stated that the properties that have been seized include house No 25, Manda Hill Road in Olympia Lusaka, property No. 7791 of  Buluwe Road, and Woodlands Extension in Lusaka, property No. Subdivision B of Lot 3325/M in Ibex Hill, Lusaka.

Others are property No. 13947, off Mulungushi Road, Roma town in Lusaka trading as Best Home Lodge, and Property No. 13949, off Mulungushi Road, Roma town in Lusaka which is a double storey building and is incomplete.

Mr Moono disclosed that the court ordered on 27th August, 2014, that the Commission should continue managing the Properties including the collection of rentals until the matter is disposed off by the Courts of Law.

The properties have since been tendered as exhibits in court and trial in the matter continues.
