The Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested and charged an Executive Director at Brethren in Christ Church Choma Children Development Project (BICC-CCDP) for corrupt practices involving K35,000.00.
Head of Corporate Communications Timothy Moono said Mwaka Machila Chibinga, 43, of House No. 1 Kachacha in Choma, faces two counts of Corrupt Transactions by Private Persons contrary to Section 20 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act No. 3 of 2012 of the Laws of Zambia.
