Teveta finance director cleared of wrong doing in K2.4bn scam: Chauluka forced leave extended
Teveta board has cleared its director of Finance Elwin Sichiola of any wrong doing following his suspension along with two other senior officials in a K2.4 billion scam.
The chairperson of Teveta board r Gilbert Chilinde confirmed Sichiola has been recalled from his forced leave and is back in office.
However, Chilinde said the executive director Ndione Chauluka and director of training Modesto Gomani had their forced leave extended.
The three were accused of opening a bogus Ndisogolo Langa project in Neno which was used as a vehicle to divert money from Teveta. Up to a staggering K2.4 billion has so far been abused.
The money came from a levy companies pay to Teveta for skills.
Chilinde could not say when the case of Chauluka and Gomani would be concluded.
This issue hit headlines as it added to a number of theft of public money infamously known as gates.

Do you remember the controversy surrounding Chauluka’s appointment? He never attended any interview. He must have been so obsessed with self pride that he may have hastily planned cashgating of Teveta funds.

This is a big joke. Do you really think the other 3 guys whose forced leaves have been extended would do anything to an extent of creating a bogus project in Neno and make those huge payments without the financial director knowing what is happening?

You guys must for once be professional. Nditsogolo langa is not bogus. Secondly most paid out was less than MK400million. According an official working at NAO, Both Chauluka and Gomani are not guilty of any crime. Chilinde and Chauluka are just enemies. Gilbert Chilinde is APMs nephew while Chauluka is also very close to APM. If you throw into the mix Hon Henry Mussa that you get confusion. It’s power play and not corruption.
