A Lusaka magistrates June 5 denied ministry of health civil servant Henry Kapoko bail and remanded him in custody. Magistrate Kenneth Mulife denied Kapoko bail because he was about to flee the country at the time he was arrested by investigators. The magistrate said the attempt happened before Kapoko engaged his lawyers.
Kapoko is facing a charge of obtaining K1.9 billion (US$380,000) by false pretences. He is likely to face more charges as the funds involved are in excess of ZMK27 billion (US$5,400,000). The magistrate told Kapoko he was free to appeal against the ruling.
