Munir Zulu convicted!
Independent Lumezi Member of Parliament, Munir Zulu, has been convicted on all three counts of criminal libel.
The charges are from allegations he made accusing Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane and Infrastructure Minister Charles Milupi of each receiving $250,000, and an additional $150,000 allegedly given to Minister Milupi by Road Development Agency (RDA) Board Chairperson, Mulchand Kuntawala.
The court found Zulu’s claims to be false and defamatory, leading to his conviction. Sentencing is expected to follow.
