The once powerful and most celebrated generous Minister Bowman Lusambo has been handed another jail sentence.
Lusambo who is serving a jail sentence was today September 1, 2025 sentenced to 3 years imprisonment with hard labour for possession of illicit property.
Lusaka Chief Resident Magistrate Davis Chibwili handed the sentence after Lusambo was found guilty of possessing two properties in Chamba Valley suspected to be proceeds of crime.
The court ruled that the properties comprising a four-bedroom house, a guest wing, and six unfinished flats were acquired through means inconsistent with Mr. Lusambo’s declared income during his tenure in public office.
Lusambo served as provincial Minister in Lusaka and Copperbelt provinces under the Patriotic Front (PF).
