Cashgate convict Caroline Savala has this morning been sentenced to 7 years in prison for stealing K85 millions of taxpayers money.
The Judgment comes barely two weeks after the presiding Judge Fiona Mwale gave the state and the defence 48 hours to provide final written submission on the case before sentence.
Mwale said the case has dragged for too long and there is no need to delay the case further.
Salava was convicted at her on plea to have siphoned K84 million earlier this year.
