ACC seize properties worth over K22 million belonging to Bowman Lusambo

Share

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has seized properties worth over K22 million belonging to Former Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo, a property that is suspected to be proceeds of crime.

In a statement released to the media, ACC Spokesperson Queen Chibwe said that the properties seized include seven properties houses and subdivision farm number 609 all located in Lusaka’s Chamba Valley area.

Mrs Chibwe explained that the said properties were acquired and constructed by Mr Lusambo using suspected proceeds of crime and the commission reasonably believes and suspects that the properties are still registered in another person’s name.

Further, Mrs. Chibwe said that the seized properties are in connection with an ongoing investigation and in accordance with section 58(1) of the anti-corruption act of No. 3 of 2012.

Mr Lusambo was recently arrested by the commission for being in possession of properties suspected to be proceeds of crime worth US$ 378,000.

  1. Going forward on this trajectory of asset recovery resolve will restore confidence in the fight against corrupt practices, restrain those who arrogantly think can steal from Zambians with audacity and recompense Zambians what was deprived from them.

  2. Let him explain the same way he was proudly showing off on “That Zed Podcast” how he acquired the expensive property. US$3 million?!?

  3. I don’t believe ACC, … $350,000 from pick-pocketing people he was beating up over COVID?
    That Bowman can’t have such properties. The guy is always dirty, he eats nsima for free from women marketeers.
    Just leave that destitute Lusambo alone.

  4. This was the guy who was boasting on the radio that we want to have Zambian billionaires. How can you become a billionaire by stealing public funds ?

  5. Just a waste of more tax payers money….and he will get it back just after a few days……UPND are just jokers…..we have gone via this route before…Chitotela,Kampyongo,Chilifya, etc and i told you the same thing that UPND and PF are just the same just playing on peoples minds

  6. Auction All properties which are acquired from proceeds of crime so we can pay off
    Our local debt.ACC and DEC will not find any
    Cash so convert these properties into cash.

  9. As long as the arresting authorities have done their homework I have no quarrel with arresting of numerous politician thieves. But I know that our police are a product of our current society which severely lacks excellence. Like most Zambians police are inept and don’t know how to be professional. They act on feeble evidence and can only arrest suspects of Presidential defamation. That’s how Dr Chilufya slipped through their fingers.

  10. But are these matters not before court?
    Why take matters to court and then do a short cut rather than let the courts decide.
    Anyway,ni new dawn. Tizamvelako

  11. These revelations are nauseating to say the least. Where was EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU when his ministers were stealing these large sums of money?? Was he unaware of what was going on or was this man just plain $tup1d?

  12. and can only arrest suspects of Presidential defamation. That’s how Dr Chilufya slipped through their fingers. Actually any sly criminal in Zambia can just take advantage of the lack of professionalism in any industry and commit a crime. You know what the civil servants can’t do so you pilfer money from the ministry of finance and you know police have no capacity to investigate you. It’s a dog eat dog scenario. If HH wants to leave a positive legacy he must strive to restore excellence

  13. Getting property from a suspect is welcome, this guy thought the money he was stealing would not be noticed. Lets introduce a law which will deal with political thieves in a much harsh manner, if a person is found guilty he or she must rot in jail

  14. HH says he follows social media. Right now I’m wondering wht’s going on in his mind. Ministry of Lands officials who issued the title deed and Lusaka City Council officials who issued the building permit and property occupancy certificates are all public servants. So hw was the state unable to know who it was dealing with whn Edgar Lungu was President of Zambia? Will Zambia ever be a normal country again? Perhaps not in my lifetime.

  15. Well Done ba ACC, and hope you have done your homework, the state will NOT be required to return back the loot.
    And if Ba PF want to have such people (suspects) in their leadership, then it’s their problem. Personally, I think LUSAMBO belongs to a small group of PF leaders that should NEVER be allowed near power. These people will be ruthless !!
    He will need to sell all those expensive perfumes that he bought his wife and give it all to Makebi…..kikiki…..Makebi will be the richest guy in Zambia in 3 years time, he is legally grabbing all that was sitolen. Its a good fish, if ACC can win this case. That is when Zambians will realize how PF stole from them.

  16. As usual. BA LT, when it comes to PF cases. whenever you comment, they are busy moderating.

    LEAVE MY COMMENTS ALONE IMWE BA LT – Lousy and stu.pid blog. My comment are innocent, there is NOTHING to MODERATE, imwe, F.U.VK the sh!T

  17. Nice one, you’ve just opened the pandora box, lots n lots of PF rot in there.Let them give back the money they stole.

  18. His house was like the salvation army………

    Truck loads of food to bribe voters……..

    With no tax records………

    Dumm asses…..

  19. A government full of jealousy and fighting personal battles using courts. They go after bowman because he is undressing them for who they are. They are afaidd to come after me, why is that? I probably have more assets than bowman. Come after me so that I underess your president and show how much of a crook he is. Instead of fulfilling promises you are busy persecuting opposition. You dogs

    So its easy to play big on here
    By the way how are your sons ???

    A L1Ar has to have a good memory which you dont Have

  21. I was waiting for this day.. where is Edgar Chagwa Lungu to save your backside? Really laughable…this boy was careless even hnding out presents at Christmas at his home to residents. The Chinks had him in their pocket after that China trip after Lazy Lungu won in 2016…he has the cheek to say he was already well off during MMD era when he was just a mere bouncer for hire.

  22. Tikki go on my social media and see a picture I posted some time ago showing my entire household. Unlike you I take care of over 30 people. This is not diaspora where you have stingy bigots like you who cannot even afford to wipe their own backsides. Fuseke..my nephews and nieces are also my sons and daughters. Are you even African

  23. Out of the ten Provincial Ministers under President Lungu, Bowman was the most corrupt of all and the least educated whilst Edify Hamukale was the most honest and the most educated .

    I know today is your birthday,,,you so excited…have fun in case you want UBER service please call me

  25. How many politicians are serving jail terms since this fight was started by LPM. If this government is serious they should give long jail sentences to any civil servant found guilty and grab the stolen properties. This should be extended to the current crop of politicians, don’t wait until you leave office. Otherwise you are just wasting our money.

  26. Computer scientist it is not a crime to invest in dubai. Fyi I have many companies here in zambia employing the same relatives you left behind. Be thankful

  29. Only one reason a politician would fail to account for how they acquired riches…..theft! For us entrepreneurs, it is easy to account how you make millions…..launch a product and grow the business.

  30. @35 my tribe is Zambian..
    You seem to know these Politicians better….and yes they’re just wasting tax payers money…the property will be given back to Lusambo….and no Jail term and the same Lusambo might resign from PF and Join UPND..
    Case closed….looting reloaded continues

  31. This is a terrible blow to the former president and the executive office including the intelligent officers of the president.

  32. Bowman Lusambos low IQ, Pride, greed, jealous and lacking ANY EMPLOYMENT or Formal work HISTORY combined caused him to make all those costly mistakes

  33. Even amidst this pool of former corrupt ministers, senior GRZ officials and parastatal CEOs, we had outstanding individuals with integrity and honest like Hon Elizabeth Phiri, Hon Den Wanchinga, Hon Edify Hamukale, Hon Charles Banda, Hon Richard Kapita and a few more. THERE IS ALWAYS A JOSEPH IN EGYPT AND A DANIEL IN BABYLON

  34. Can Zawa please take care of those zebras grazed like common goats…its abuse…the sad thing about being corrupt or stealing is that when the law starts closing in on you?. Suddenly you realize you were even cheating each other…why? Well when you were sharing you were told its 150,000$ each….then you see you fellow thug and crook owing a building worth 300,000,000$…kkkk please recall zayellow recieved 150,000$ in a single purpose account which he quickly withdrew….in his words ‘only 150,000$ which I withdrew there is nothing in that account!’ yes boss at the same time the call boy clothed as minister also deposited 150,000$…. but he actually stole more coincidence teh?

  35. Lusambo utokomele, ACC izakunyola citombolilo wena. Such kind of primitive stealing is tantamount to gutless stupidity, and imagine this ***** was minister for Lusaka! Like Richard Sakalanyongo, Lusambo wakena mwandeende onafa, apweee.
