Matemba was arrested in August 2022 in his capacity as Solicitor General for allegedly receiving a $10 000 bribe from businessperson Zuneth Sattar.

He is facing two counts under the offence of failure to declare interest by a public officer contrary to Section 25D (2) (a) of the Corrupt Practices Act (CPA) as read together with Section 34 of the Corrupt Practices Act.
