Zambia: Regina Chiluba and Jeojago Musengule granted bail
The Lusaka magistrate court has granted Wife of second Republican President,Frederick Chiluba, Regina a 10 million Kwacha bail with two working sureties and immediately set free from prison.
Following her temporary freedom, Mrs Chiluba appeared in high spirits as she left the courtroom, saying she was able to bear her three-day prison ordeal because of the love and support from her husband and family who visited her daily.
Should the Lusaka High Court uphold the prison sentence meted out by the magistrate court, Regina will still have the option of appealing to the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land.
Presiding Magistrate, Charles Kafunda has also granted former Zambia Army Commander, Jeojago Musengule, bail with similar conditions.
Mrs. Chiluba who was on Monday jailed for three and half years after being found guilty of receiving stolen property, applied for bail pending the determination of her appeal.
Lieutenant General Musengula was recently convicted and jailed for Four years with hard labour for abuse of office and corrupt practices.
Magistrate Kafunda has however ordered Mrs. Chiluba and General Musengule to surrender their passports to the court.

Well those are the wheels of justice for you. Let her be treated fairly and if she is not happy with the high court let her move to the supreme court. That is how our justice system works and we ought to respect that. It’s not over until the Supreme Court sings I guess

Justice is justice worldwide and bail is part of justice whether you like it or not. There’s no “Zambian way” of justice, or else it ceases to be justice. Besides scores of innocent people have suffered the indignities of inequitable trial policies by many African courts – should you ever be wrongly accused some day, you will be the first to cry for bail.

There are people languishing in chibokaila and remand (popularly known as remind)prison for years,and they have never seen the inside of a court.They were just thrown in jail and forgoten about.No plea, no mention,no trial,no bail no nothing.These people dont just exist.
Now you have a high profile case involving the so called plunderers and they are awarded with all the luxuries that a hearing comes with including bail.I think this is not justice.
What we needed was aspecial tribunal to handle these cases with special terms and no bail,period.The Zambian people want to see real punishment meted out.

Please desist from personal attacks against fellow bloggers. You may not agree with whatever Maestro says but you have to respect him. I personally think he is one of the best bloggers that LT has. He has proved to have a remarkable, open and honest character which has earned him my respect. He does not insult back when insulted and very few people have such integrity.

I feel sorry for those poor unfortunates who have taken the bait in this poorly orchestrated sketch. Regina was going to be released on bail anyway. As soon as she entered the prison, she walked out through the back door and has never spent more than 30 minutes in prison occupied principally in waiting for the crowds outside to disperse so she can slip quietly away. Mean while, FTJ is grinning slyly in bed at home, knowing he does not have to play golf even for one night. F%*k?+G Amateurs ! This is how the game is played – and you are not a player.

This is a more reason the the UPND president Hakainde Hichilema MUST never agree to being a Vice President to the PF unelected self-imposed Leader Standard ^ school drop out Undereducate Michael Chilufya Sata as President of Zambia in a possible UNITY GRZ. Characters who hated late former President Levy P. Mwanawasa even though not convincted of causing his accident when he was Zambia’s Vice President can NEVER be trusted to be President and deputised by someone they have little regard for, e.g., calling democratically elected UPND president as Under-five in politics.

Impressive. We are on track towards correcting the mentality of our people as regards wrong doing when you are in government or elsewhere. It is good that Mrs Regina Chiluba is serving as an example to all women and unprincipled men that getting things you do not understand where they are coming from is wrong behaviour. I hope all those who understand the proceedings of this case will endeavour to carry themselves in a better manner. I desperately needs to see that all Zambians have a changed mindset on how to do things in their lifetime.
