An office assistant at the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) has admitted breaking into the university’s examination strong room with intent to steal.

Evans Kamwengo, 46, who also works as a general worker, is charged with breaking into a building with intent to commit a felony—namely to steal.

The offence is alleged to have occurred between November 24 and 29, 2025, when Kamwengo broke into the NIPA examination strong room.

When the charge was read out before Lusaka Principal Resident Magistrate Idah Phiri, Kamwengo admitted in Bemba, saying: “Ndesumima umulandu” [I admit the charge].

The case has now entered the stage of sentencing considerations, with the court expected to determine the appropriate punishment for the offence.
