The Lusaka Magistrate Court has sentenced former Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba to five years with hard labour over crimes related to conflict of interest, money laundering and possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime among other crimes.

This was after Magistrate Sanford Ngobola found him guilty in multiple counts.

Magistrated Ngobola said he was satisfied that the prosecution had proved their case against the accused.
