Former Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation employee Faith Musonda finds herself embroiled in a legal battle over the alleged proceeds of crime, reports Zambian Eye Correspondent.
The state claims that properties worth over K118million are linked to illicit activities, but Musonda vehemently denies these allegations. In a surprising twist, she argues that the properties in question were lawfully acquired and that the state’s accusations are unjustified.
The properties under scrutiny include a range of assets such as Sela Property Investments Limited, Covenant Broadcasting Company, government bonds, and a house in Kingsland City. However, Musonda refutes the claims made against her. She denies purchasing the Kingsland City property for the stated amount, asserting that the transaction was never completed due to financial constraints. Additionally, she contends that her financial status aligns with her legitimate earnings, which include gratuities and allowances she received during her 24 years of experience as a communications expert.
Musonda notes that the lawsuit aims to cast doubt on the legitimacy of her personal income by inflating the perceived value of her assets. She insists that the DPP’s assertions hold no merit and that her finances are in order.
As the case unfolds, the public eagerly awaits the court’s decision. Will Musonda’s properties be forfeited, or will she be vindicated in proving her innocence?
