THE case in which three Marshlands Consortium directors have been charged with forgery, uttering false documents, theft, and obtaining goods by false pretences has again failed to take off in the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court.
Trial in the matter was scheduled to proceed before Magistrate Alice Walusiku on Tuesday this week but one of the accused persons, Richard Lubemba was reportedly writing examinations at the Zambia Centre for Accountancy Studies in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree (LLB) commercial programme and the matter has been adjourned to December 7 and 8, 2021
This is in a case the accused persons Tobias Milambo, 48, a chatered insurer of Woodlands, Nachi Musonda, 33, and Lubemba, 31, of Chalala have been charged for the said offences.
They are accused of forging documents purporting that they had been appointed as directors of Ultimate Insurance Company Limited.
The offences allegedly occurred between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. It is alleged that with intent to deceive or defraud, Milambo, Musonda, and Lubemba forged a Bitrust Rear Estate Innovative Solutions valuation report dated January 6, 2018 for stand 9192/35, Mununga Road in Ndola. The accused persons are also charged with forging the document by purporting to show that it was genuinely issued by Bitrust when in fact not.
