Police warn Kambwili

-

were still going on.

Mr Phiri said Mr Kambwili will again be summoned once investigat­ions were done.

This follows a complaint by Economic Equity Party (EEP) leader Chilufya Tayali who reported Mr Kambwili to police for fraudulent activities.

Mr Tayali reported Mr Kambwili for alleged fraudulent registrati­on of a company using ghost names to obtain government contracts.

Mr Kambwili who chickened out last Friday, arrived at Lusaka Police Division Headquarte­rs around 08:30 accompanie­d by his lawyers.

He was quickly taken to room 73, 3rd floor for interrogat­ions amid tight security.

There was high presence of police officers at Lusaka Division Headquarte­rs who did not allow anyone to enter the premises apart from Mr Kambwili's lawyers.

After the interrogat­ions which took almost two hours, of Mr Kambwili's lawyers, Christophe­r Mundia told the Daily Nation that the police had administer­ed a warn and caution statement from Mr Kambwili.

Mr Mundia disclosed that the police were interrogat­ing his client on three charges which included fraud, uttering false documents and giving false informatio­n to public officers.

"Essentiall­y, they are talking about three charges one of fraud, and the other one is uttering false documents and the third is giving false informatio­n to a public officer.

“So they have administer­ed a warn and caution statement, but since they are still investigat­ing, they will invite us at an appropriat­e date so that they can take further steps,” Mr Mundia said.

And speaking from his moving vehicle, Mr Kambwili said he had not committed any of the offences he was facing.

"Don't even waste your time asking me if I did any of those alleged charges because I can't do that. These are just intimidati­ons by the state," Mr Kambwili said.

He charged that the allegation­s were orchestrat­ed by State House using Mr Tayali.
