In a statement, BoZ Assistant Director for Communications Besnart Mwanza explained that the Central Bank does not hold accounts for individuals. She said the money recovered from Lusaka was found packed in travelling bags and had to be transferred to the Bank of Zambia for safe keeping.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs reported by Zambia Police Service, the money recovered in Lusaka was found packed in travelling bags and had to be transferred to the Bank of Zambia for safe keeping. This, therefore, necessitated the use of lockable and sealable trunks to safely transport the money from the point of seizure to the Bank,\u201d Mwanza said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bank of Zambia does not hold accounts for individuals but interacts with the public in terms of the issuance of currency through commercial banks. The public only has access to currency through various channels offered by financial service providers such as Automated Teller Machines, over-the-counter and their agents. Members of the public cannot access cash directly from the Bank.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
