Malole Independent Member of Parliament Emmanuel Munaile, who is a surety in the case involving five accused persons, has been fined K1.5 million as penalty fee after the accused jumped bail.
Mr. Munaile yesterday spent a night at Milima State Prison after he was arrested by police in Kasama following a bench warrant, which was issued against him by the Kasama Magistrate Court in November, this year.
The MP today appeared before Magistrate Robert Mulauzi for contempt of court after the five accused persons he had signed bail for ran away, thereby making their case fail to take off.
Mr. Munaile, who is also Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Vice-president, looked humbled and remorseful during the contempt of court proceedings.
And in his ruling, Magistrate Mulauzi ordered Mr. Munaile to pay K300, 000 in respect of each the five accused persons who had jumped bail since he was their surety.
The Magistrate also ordered the MP to make sure that he trace the whereabouts of the accused persons and takes them to the Court during the next hearing set for January 16, 2009.
Magistrate Mulauzi has since revoked the bench warrant issued against Mr. Munaile. He however, said the bench warrant for the accused persons, who are at large, is still in force. Efforts to get a comment from Mr. Munaile soon after the court hearing proved futile as police officers whisked him away.
The accused persons, who jumped bail, are charged with one count of malicious damage to property contrary to section 335 sub-section one of the penal code chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.
Particulars of the offence are that on the night of April 22, 2007, the accused namely Chanda Kaenge, Justin Kasonde, Davies Mwenya, Patrick Kafula, Felix Nondo and John Bwembya jointly and whilst acting together willfully and unlawfully did cause damage three (3) houses valued all at K6 million belonging to Abel Mutale of Mungwi District.
The accused had initially pleaded not guilty to the charge. The Magistrate Court has since adjourned the matter to January 16, 2009 for review of the bench warrant issued against the fugitive persons.

Cabipa ba MP, what did he do? First mbelenge…
Nine chale :o:o:o you have rigged,since when did you become VJ
What is Munaile doing playing surety for such suspects? Niya bwanji kabili
But kwena LT has become boooooring. None of you is commenting anything even remotely sensible. It’s amazing! [-(
what about Chungu’s surities….what happened to them when chungu jumped bail….no mention in any of the papers, selective justice **==
Too bad for the MP i know him too much he is a Good Man but look at this situation. Him being an MP trying to help out his local pipo he ends up in the stinkig cells
He should be fired.he is a bad example. We dont need such in Parliament and neither do we need them in FAZ
Too bad Ba Honourable for spending a night mu Chifungo. 😕
OK, it’s just a minor case…Matworld, no I haven’t rigged mwana, the race is getting tougher everyday. This is my first nambala wanu today :d
Will this guy lose his seat?? I would like to know.
Dear Maestro Hhehhehhehhe
Where is HH?
Why is it that he only exist when its time for elections.
I cannot hide you I really wanted HH to bring change pa Zed,but its like he will never do that.
He is not perfoming the duties of the opposition party.Iam sure you have done civics before.
One duty of the opposition is to oppose the govt when they are not doing the right thing.
Now that HH is quiet,tells me alot about him.
its like all is well with him even when Zambians needs help from him.
I have never heard him say anything about the economic crisis zed is facing.Is it because he thinks its okay or what? to tell you the truth HH has really disapointed me.
8->8->8->8->8->
Geee why not say somthing sensible yourself we(I) might follow suit.
15. Matworld-Nice guy! thanks dear. Please go back to the Fuel thread to see my response to you. Have a great day.

“Mr. Munaile yesterday spent a night at Milima State Prison after he was arrested by police in Kasama following a bench warrant, which was issued against him by the Kasama Magistrate Court in November, this year.”
Good to see to it that no one is above the law. Nice lesson to all of us to take the law seriously. I wish Mr Munaile some good imagebuilding with time so that he can inspire the rest of us all though in future if he can do better from now onwards.
Ba Chale #5, te fwaka manje iyi? How can you say “chabipa” before reading the all story? This behavior is dangerous, that s why some people do weddings before sleeping with a lady. How can you know if she really a woman or not?
Ba Yama #19, awe fwaka yena nshipepa, mukwai. I just happened to engage my tongue before my brain…like most bloggers also do.:d
This topic screams “tabloid” LT. A ka fancy headline to catch our attention and only to discover that the insinuated scandal is not so big an issue after all.
Please set the bar higher for the content of your stories. And for our sake, a bit more objectivism.
Ba Munaile ya shani? In Football you can even score from an off side position but in politics and public offices you need FTJ in POWER.
#21 Cutey, I thought you were in Australia? What’s up with the Stars & Stripes? Is this another impersonation ordeal like we witnessed in Baby C vs. Baby C this morning? You women never cease to amaze me…
The MP took a big risk to sign a surity for 5 suspected criminals. May be they were related. Any way Kimasholi feela.
#23…This is a complete different Cutey.. serious impersonation.. ine na vileka manje.. its becoming too much of bullcrap…!!!!!!!
on second thought.. I will simply change my name.. Let ‘Cutey’ remain to the Dogs… :-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:)>-:)>-:)>-#:-s#:-s#:-s**==**==**==
Good work LT. Thanks 4 bringing out news no matter where it is or its perceived significance. A Good and robust media is a corner stone of Good governance.
#24 YOU ARE RIGHT KIMASHOLI FEELA. MBAKABWALALA BOONSE.
Winstoni boyi, tiye tibaimbile.
Bamvele bwino boyi… bekeni ichimbo imwe ba LT
De people no have nuh time fi watch dem petty cases deh, seen? Yute and yute have no food fi nyam & a next baby a face malnutrition. A dat me a watch…Jah know!
# 15 you dont have anything to say, just keep your mouth shut coz it seems your medula is becoming empty since when did hear when someone is quiet then he has nothing to do
offcourse in russia i have banches of girls i weep every weekend night
39: This shows you dont follow national events. The issue of Xavier Chungu,s surities is now history. His surities were also caged and paid money to the court before release.
I mean # 9 -marine 1
#29 Bun Dem Dred.
As alwais brodder mon, words of de wise fall from yo mout. Jah kno fi real…Bless!
Ba Bemba buka bwalala. Even elders are now affected. Change for the better. MASHOLI.
Mr. MP go to Parliament and make laws which make sense, You shouldn’t have been shut down in jail for a crime you never committed, What happened to the people who posted bail for Chungu? Double standards, the fact you are independent it speaks in volumes this country is full of injustice :-w:-w:-w
its sad for the man thats why its not good to sign bail for people now the inncocent man has to sleep in police cells awe its not fair.
#30 just keep quiet nomba why is hh silent.you think silence sorts out issues it doesnt.hh is just a stingy cruel tonga man.he has billions but how many people has he helped not even a contribution to an ophanege centre.so he will say something mu 2011 thats why he will never be president in this country.if he accepted what sata was telling him all this crisis would not have been there nomba akaso and ukuitemwa that tonga man awe kaya.
MUNAILE IS A CRIMINAL TOO COZ ITS WRITTEN DO NOT BE YOKED WITH CRIMINALS.
Matworld,nine chale,baby c,norah,rashid,wisemen and cutey how are you doing today?
Have a nice Morning!!!!
#31, are you sure? We hear the skin-heads are runinng riot that side and apparently you guys are now endangered species…
Good morning all.
:)>-
There is nothing wrong Munaile has done. It can happen to you. You sign bail for your father and also become his suriety. Baisauma mat. What do you do? Fila chitika people
Morning bloggers? LT give us more juicy stories.
As a leader you have alot of responsibility to those under them.
Munaile did this in good faith, but of course it was risk. This means he hoped the guys would not misbehave but corporate. Now he was also aware opf the consequences should these guys jump bail but he took the risk to help his people are a leader. For me this is leadership; taking risk to help while bearing in mind the consequences.
Many leaders are cowards and would not take such risk.
The consequences on him are sad, yes, but I see leadership in Munaile.
I will not say keep it up, but I will say well done Munaile; great leadership courage.
HH does not understand Global issues, Full stop. He will talk on issues which will enrich him (plot 1, privatization, receivership, etc,etc).
LATEST!!! THE RETIRED PANTHOLOGIST HAS REQUESTED AN ENQUEST INTO THE DEATH OF PENZA AND PAUL TEMBO….
THIS IS THE RESULT OF RETIRING THE ONLY EXPERIENCED ZAMBIAN PANTHOLOGIST. NOW THE GOVERNMENT IS IN TROUBLE…WHO KILLED THE TWO?
Let the lawmakers also feel the long hand of the law even when still in power, i say good for him.
**==**==**== so what happens if the fugitive are not seen by 16th jan?
note:dont sighn things anyhow,too bad FAZ man..
Once in a while not a bad idea for fat a**ses to spend time muka fung. I hope mambala tali pa reception. Seriously, no one is above the law imagine even kafupi was collected.
#49 am with you on this one
Munaile if you are associating yourself with such questionable characters then this serves you right.in fact you shud subsquently resign you are an embarassemnt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#s 49, 50 & 5I
Imwe, please refer to my comment # 43. Then let me know.
#15 contribute possitively. HH has done nothing wrong, You can’t follow the media and tell them to interview you. If HH is quiet as at now that does not mean he is happy with whatever is happening. NO!!! Mukazikala nazelu baaba.
pipo where is Osama Bin Zed
Help me gentlemen, I wanted to have a look at the story of soldiers sueing the government over their UN allowances which is illegally deducted from them, but I cant find it what do I do? I have something to say over the issue being the affected.
Hi Baby C I hear you changed your name, who is original between the two of you. Sad to you Hon. Munaile continue being good to others God will as well rewand you. Already you came from nowhere and as at now you are somewhere, more blessing will flow. God bless you.
G BABY AND MATWORLD….Your nick names speak volumes about your intellectual capacity. Why do you hate HH so much!!By the way what has HH got to do with the topic at hand? Leave him alone!! HE HAS MADE HIS MONEY, MAKE YOURS, WHY CALL HIM STINGY. lOOK AT THE LOG IN YOUR EYES BEFORE YOU SEE IT IN OTHERS. No wonder you’re poor!!

From a football pitch to parliament.It seems he is got some goals.
But being surity for silly boys is degrading oneself.
Keep your standards high Mr MP.
Upcoming president :o:o
Bembas are it again, Bamangeni ba kawalala awo!!
I wish the hard core criminals did him some sodony na gommora. That is when he will contribute to making good laws in par.
DOES NOT MATTER WEATHER ITS A PETTY CASE OR NOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CONDUCT YOURSELF IN A MANNER NOT DEMINING TO RUIN YOUR REPUATION.
Emmanuel is a perfect gentleman, on and off the pitch. This incidence is very unfortunate. I hope that all ends well.
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, Ya
right…
Hence why the quickest response in Zambia is on ”petty cases”.. :-w
PLEASE!
Iwe #66 tribal issues are primitive ideas dnt be like HH we have moved from Stone Age era and you #35 dont impersonate me.
Ala bola na law fyalipusana!
