The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in Zambia has charged and arrested former justice minister, Given Lubinda for being in possession of property reasonably suspected to be the proceeds of crime.
Given Lubinda appeared for questioning on Monday at the ACC offices in the capital, Lusaka, where he was formally arrested before being released on bail.
His lawyer, Jonas Zimba, confirmed Mr Lubinda had been charged for allegedly owning a house in Lusaka’s upmarket Kingsland City and having four different bank accounts.
On Tuesday, Mr Lubinda denied the charges at a press briefing, labelling his interrogation as hypocritical.
The foer minister also downplayed events, saying there was nothing new in the allegations as he had previously been summoned to answer similar charges.
