A former top Zambian official has been arrested and charged with corruption, following a public outcry when the case against him was dropped. Kashiba Bulaya is accused of receiving a bribe of $270,000 to award a contract to supply anti-Aids drugs. The BBC's Musonda Chibamba says the original investigation was dropped on government orders, sparking protests from church groups and donors.
