Former Secretary to the Treasury Fredson Yamba has filed an application before the Lusaka High Court seeking an order to declare illegal a notice of restriction on his bank account by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Mr. Yamba also wants the court to have the said restriction reversed.
According to an affidavit in Support of Summons, the applicant says in 2021, the commission arrested and charged him with an offence of failure to comply with applicable law and procedure and issued a restriction notice on his bank account held with ABSA bank which expired in August 2022.
Mr. Yamba however, says in March 2023, the Commission issued a third restriction on the said account which he now claims is illegal.
