The Zambian Drug Enforcement Commission arrests two NGO officials who allegedly transferred K200 million from the organisation's account to their personal favour
Zambian Home Affairs Minister, Lameck Mangani, says the country’s Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) has arrested two NGO officials who allegedly transferred K200 million from the organisation's account to their personal favour.

According to Mangani, those arrested are John Munsanje, executive director of the Family Health Trust (FHT) and Harrison Chibale, who is the finance and administration manager at the same organisation.

He further says it is unfortunate that, instead of the NGOs using the money for the intended purpose, some of them are busy siphoning it into their personal bank accounts, which is illegal.

Meanwhile, the DEC has also closed in on officials from four other NGOs for similar activities and will soon effect the arrests.
