The Anti – Corruption Commission has revealed that Savenda Group of Companies, Chief Executive Officer, Clever Mpoha, allegedly attempted to withdraw a sum of 3.5 million dollars, out of one of his bank accounts, amidst an active investigation.
In this matter, the Commission has been investigating Mr. Mpoha for corrupt practices, in connection with a contract for the supply, and delivery, of military uniforms for the Zambia National Service-ZNS.
Additionally, the Commission has disclosed that among the companies under investigation is Savenda Systems Limited, for multiple corruption offences, and it was during the course of such investigations that the commission made a restriction on one of Mr. Mpoha’s bank accounts, after he allegedly attempted to withdraw a sum of 3.5 million dollars.
However, the investigative wing says that despite such a restriction, the commission had informed the Director of Savenda Systems Limited, that the company is at liberty to withdraw any amount of money in the account, so long the request is backed up by verifiable invoices, and other supporting documents.
