In the second count Ms Masebo who is also Chongwe PF Member of Parliament has been charged with abuse of office for terminating employment contracts of senior officers at the Zambia Wildlife Authority ZAWA without following procedure.

Ms Masebo was arrested this morning when she appeared at the ACC offices in Lusaka this morning.

 

 

She will will appear in court on July30th, 2015.
