A 35-year-old man, of Lusaka’s Kanyama compound, has appeared in court, for impersonating a Medical Doctor.
MABVUTO KAONGA has since pleaded NOT GUILTY to one count of impersonating a public officer, before Lusaka Magistrate, CHRISPIN HAMPUNGANI.
It is alleged that KAONGA falsely represented himself to ROBERT KANGWA, a Nurse In-Charge at Kanyama Level One Hospital, as a medical doctor in the Ministry of Health, deployed to the facility.
The incident is alleged to have happened on dates unknown but between July 15 and August 28, 2024.
When the matter came up for plea, the accused said he understood the charge but denied it.
Magistrate HAMPUNGANI has since set January 30, 2025 for commencement of trial.
