Investigations into Zambian Airways on course

The Zambian Airways saga has continued to find space in the media especially in the privately owned Post newspaper. The newspaper is one of the owners of the defunct airline and on May 18 carried a story suggesting that the investigations into the Zambian airways saga had stalled. The paper also suggested that the three organisations investigating the matter - the police, the anti-Corruption Commission and the drug Enforcement Commission had now targeted employees of the Development Bank of Zambia for possible abuse of office.

Police Inspector General Francis Kabonde refuted a report in the Post newspaper of May 18 that the matter had stalled. He insisted that investigations were on course and that the first of these was handed over to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for an opinion before arrests could be effected.
