Notorious DPP cadet Isaac Jomo Osman is also facing his own charges current he is out on bail.
According to Nankhumwa who is also leader of opposition in the National Assembly, some members from the Tonse Administration have criminal offences hanging on their shoulders.
He further said that no one should be above the law simply because they are in government.
United Transformation Movement (UTM) spokesperson Joseph Chidanti Malunga stressed that no member shall be immune from answering charges even if they are in government.
According to Malunga all wrong-doers shall face the consequences of their past mistakes disregarding of the political party they are in.
