THE Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is dissatisfied with the acquittal of Livingstone Mayor Constance Muleabai, who was recently set free of corruption allegations.
ACC argues that the magistrate erred by acquitting the mayor.
“The learned trial court erred in law when it failed to apply the provisions of section 77 (2) of the Anti-Corruption Act No. 3 of 2012 by acquitting the Accused, even when there was prima facie evidence of the commission of an offence under section 20 (1).
“The Court erred in Law when it made a finding that corrupt solicitation had occurred, but acquitted the accused on the premise that the Prosecution had failed to establish a nexus between the Accused and Mark Gabites (PW10) in respect of the amounts in counts 1 and 2,” the notice of appeal reads in part.
ACC further accrues that the learned trial court erred in law by misdirecting itself on the elements of the offence under section 20 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act No. 3 of 2012.
A week ago, the Livingstone Magistrate’s Court acquitted Ms Muleabai has been acquitted on both counts of corrupt practices involving K180, 000
Magistrate Trevor Kasanda set the accused free on grounds that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
She was facing two counts of corruption, where she was accused of soliciting and receiving a total of K300, 000 from businessman Mark Gabites to allegedly facilitate the cancellation of property rates bills for Zam Nuka Farm Limited at the Livingstone City Council.
But Magistrate Kasanda ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt, leading to her acquittal on both counts.
The court further advised the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to ensure thorough investigations are conducted before taking matters to court.

A LUSAKA maid is expected to appear in court tomorrow after admitted stealing about US$13,000 belonging to her employer and was consequently detained after breaching bond conditions.
The case comes up today for possible reconciliation after Violet Mwanza informed the court last week that he relatives are willing to pay back the money she admitted stealing.
Ms Mwanza, 30, is charged with theft by servant.
Evidence is that between April 1, and 28, 2025, Mwanza, being employed by Maybin Simbeye as a maid, stole US$13,000 belonging to Mr Simbeye.
Mwanza stopped attending court, prompting magistrate Mwandu Sakala to issue a bench warrant against her.
When the case came up last week, for return of bench warrant, Mwanza showed up at court and apologized for having missed previous hearings.
She explained together with her surety that she had traveled to the Copperbelt to job hunt and failed to return on time because she had no transport money.
She was detained after her sureties withdrew from representing her.
After the charge was read out, she pleaded guilty and blamed her action on envy.
“It is because of envy and wanting to have good things which my friends have,” the accused said and told the court her relatives are willing to pay back the money.
“The offence is a felony, so, am unable to reconcile you with the complainant but if the State wishes to make a necessary application, they can do so,” magistrate Sakala said.
The prosecution team said it would consult with the complainant over negotiation.
