MMD National secretary Katele Kalumba has taken the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), commissioner, the Attorney General and Barclays Bank to court for placing a seizure order on his Barclays account.
In his affidavit filed in the Lusaka High Court on September 9 this year by his lawyer, Clavel Sianondo from Malambo and Company, Dr Kalumba states that the decision taken by DEC to seize his account was irrational and without justifiable reasons.
Dr Kalumba of Lake View House, Natende in Chiengi District also indicates that DEC’s decision was illegal, wrong at law and contrary to natural justice.
He is now seeking an order of certiorari from the High Court to quash a decision made by DEC on July 12, 2002 when it was decided that account number 1054382 belonging to the applicant held by the third respondent be seized.
He was also praying for an order of mandamus directing DEC and Barclays to restore the applicant’s account by removing the notice of seizure.
Dr Katele is also demanding a declaration that the decision by DEC was invalid and void and of no effect and that all necessary and consequential directions be given to other respondents.
He prays: “That all proceedings on the said decision be stayed until after the hearing of the motion or further order.”

If they can give back the millions Chiluba stole from us, naiwe wine Katele bakakubwesesha Umuzuru. Otherwise consult the directors at Katele Kalumba School of Traditional Medicines at Kaputa and let them turn those chaps into frogs.
The guity are always afraid
Yes yewe…you are right . You have no case to answer since your fellow suspect Chiluba is acquicted. Please DEC give these guys their money…..dont pretend to be fighting corruption and yet you dont. You have all turned into thieves period.
The failure and internal influence caused by this corrupt govt to the judicial system is a cancerous symptom which every Zambian regardless his/ her political affiliation must disannounce. Saturating and making the judicial so porous has deadly future calamity. The Judicial sysstem has entered into the worst stage where no one sees it fit for the purpose.
The traditional courts are better placed than courts which are so meaningless and has lost their values and principles to be just and impartial. There are laws for the govt, rich, political cadres and the ordinary or the poor of the poorest. Kalumba has seen and witnessed the demise of rule of law in Zambia. Keep it up Kaluba ‘ichila chansaka umo a chileta ngachaisa chindeni bonse. ‘
Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has requested US President Barack Obama to hold a new investigation into the 9/11 attacks as he believes them to be staged by the Bush government.
The ‘Wall Street´ star made the outrageous claims through a short film ‘20 Minutes With The President´ which was made public ahead of the eighth anniversary of the attacks that killed 3,000 people.

ZAMBIA GOES TO THE DOGS…!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE PEOPLE ACTUALLY VOTED FOR THIS QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP…AND THEY WILL STILL VOTE FOR THEM IN 2011. YOU KNOW, THIS MAKES SOME OF US TO BE REALLY MEAN SO MUCH THAT WHEN WE HEAR THE SAME VOTERS COMPLAIN ABOUT POERVTY I JUST LAUGH…BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT THEMSELVES.

The circus headed by RB is now in full swing.Who needs the courts to deliver justice in poor ZED
#3 . Kambongolo.. Don’t u think that giving the money back will promote corruption? Katele and Chiluba should explain how they acquire that money if given from well wishers, who are they and why they give them that money. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THEM OUT OF BRIBES. Chiluba’s acquitation was on 500,000 dollars. What about other amounts as tabled by the London court???? How did he use the money from privatalisation of parastal companies?? Why depositing his money in Zamtrop account as if he doesn’t have own account?? More question are there, Nkole knows much about these dirty tricks.
zed is pathetic. thieves have resurfaced .god help us and not rb. 4 sure.
Now the circus goes platinum, watch Kanitundila’s ma politics akunya boomerang excrement right back into his face.

You do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand why that part of the world has advanced.My heart bleed fo mother Zambia..Nowonder the coach who failed to take us to the world cup has still got his job.Nobody is held accountable!
Which money did they get from him and accounts?

People,I hope each and everyone of us have relatives in Villages of Rural-Zambia.Let us write them letters and inform them that,they should not be blinded by the distribution of Chitenge, food and Sugar during campaigns in 2011 but they should listern to us who are based in town who read alot and see how much we lose from this thieving Government.Next,we shall see Richard Sakala suing the State for the jail sentence which he recieved after his conviction,Is this not Evil enough?.Let us rise to the challenge!
