FORMER ZAMBIA AIR FORCE BOSS, GEN SAKALA SENTENCED TO 5 YEARS IMPRISONMENT WITH HARD LABOUR BY A LUSAKA MAGISTRATE COURT THE Lusaka Magistrate Court has sentenced former Zambia Air Force (ZAF) Commander Andrew Sakala to five years imprisonment with hard labour for theft of public funds. On Monday this week, the court convicted Lieutenant General Sakala after it found him guilty of theft by public servant involving K1.5 million which was meant for security wings’ operations before and during the 2011 general elections. General Andrew Sakala’s two co-accused, former Zambia National Service Commandant Anthony Yeta and former Zambia Army Commander Wisdom Lopa, were acquitted of the same charges last Monday after the prosecution team failed to link them to the case in question. And in mitigation through his lawyer Nganga Yalenga, General Sakala asked the court to exercise maximum leniency on him as he was a first offender and was remorseful of his actions - See more at: mwebantu/2014/10/10/former-zambia-air-force-boss-gen-sakala-sentenced-to-5-years-imprisonment-with-hard-labour-by-a-lusaka-magistrate-court/#sthash.uSDTzvzg.dpuf
