PROPRIETOR of SC General Dealers, Yona Chishimba, has sued government claiming about K 616 million for non-payment of foodstuffs supplied to the Ministry of Health.
Chishimba, who has sued the Attorney General in his capacity as the government’s representative explained in the writ of summons filed in the Lusaka High Court that on various dates he supplied assorted food products to medical institutions in Kasama at the instance of the Ministry of Health.
Chishimba disclosed that the Ministry of Health settled some bills leaving a balance of K 616,667,750. He revealed that the ministry had since admitted its indebtedness to him but had still failed or neglected to pay the outstanding balance.
It is for this reason that he sought the court’s intervention in making the ministry pay the debt.
