A HUMAN resource and administration officer at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) has found himself in a hot bowl of trouble after he was discovered to have used his position to employ his sister.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has therefore arrested the suspect, Muyunda Nyambe, 38, on charges of corruption.
Nyambe who worked under the Zambia National Blood Transfusion Service (ZNBTS) department, faces six counts, including abuse of authority, forgery, and uttering false documents.
The ACC alleges Nyambe misused his position to unlawfully benefit his sister, Lungowe Nyambe.
According to ACC spokesperson Timothy Moono in a statement issued on Wednesday, “Nyambe is accused of leveraging his office to facilitate his sister’s irregular employment as a Data Entry Clerk at UTH.”
Moono further detailed that Nyambe allegedly created fake documents to support the employment, including appointment letters and an offer letter attributed to another official.
Nyambe was released on bond and is expected in court soon.
