Among those named in the list, Avik International’s Masozi M. Banda was named at the top. It is suspected that the amount of money laundered by him goes well beyond one million US dollars. When confronted with this, he simply stated that this money belonged to the President Edgar Lungu. It is a known fact that Lungu is notorious for establishing dictatorship in Zambia. It has been confirmed that the total amount of laundered money by the involved top officials and lawyers is almost USD 1 billion. This money belongs to the hard working taxpayers of the country and it is clear that these individuals are using this laundered money for illegal activities such as funding corrupt politicians as well as corrupt campaigns. Apart from Banda, another notable name in the list was of Sakibwa Sikota. He is the owner of Central Chambers and legal counsellor for the Ventriglias. His name in this list is expected for his numerous involvements in illegal activities and getting away with law by exploiting their loopholes.
Citizens and industrialists have urged the government to take critical actions against these culprits.
