A WITNESS has testified that Mwamona Engineering Technical Services Limited was not tax compliant as there were a number of outstanding returns that the company had not submitted at the time of extraction.
The witness has also told Lusaka Principal Resident Magistrate Mwaka Mikalile that the company had a number of outstanding payments.
Mr Joseph Nonde, a director of budgeting at the Ministry of Finance on secondment and former design, monitoring and commissioning director at Zambia Revenue Authority, said this yesterday when he testified in a case National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Chishimba Kambwili is charged with others for allegedly making a false tax clearance certificate used to obtain construction contracts from Zesco and China Henan among the 37 counts he is facing.
