The Defence hearing of Second Republican president, Frederick Chiluba and two others was prematurely adjourned – Wednesday.
Prior to the adjournment, both the state and Dr. Chiluba’s lawyers argued on accessing documents from the defunct Access Financial services.
Ndola High Court Registrar, Jonas CHinyama was scheduled to continue hearing the defence of former Access Financial Services Chief Executive Officer, Faustine Kabwe.
But his lawyers John Sangwa and Robert Simeza applied for adjournment to allow them have access to the documents.
State prosecutor Mutembo Nchito complained that applications by the defence lawyers have always been crafted to delay the court process.
And in his ruling Mr. Chinyama said the impression created by the defence’s applications was that it was a fishing expedition because they had not specified the documents they wanted from Access Financial Services.
He however allowed the adjournment but complained of the slow pace of the proceedings.

Whatever tackticks the defence may employ, this case shall one day surely come to an end. They say a chameleon despite slow, it still gets to its destination.
Justice delayed is justice denied? In nyanja we say ” masiku ni p@nyo pa chibwi.” In english ” every dog has it’s day.” FTJ shall surely face the wrath of the zambian prisons he negelected.
FTJ THINKS THAT HE IS TOO CLEVER WE WILL GET HIM.ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME
FTJ’s case is going on where. Dr. Chiluba is “almost” a free man. Watch this space as events unfold!
FTJ shall get justice for sure. He has been persecuted for a long, long time by people he gave freedom. It is time the case was dismissed and paid huge compensation for character assassination.
hahaha,what compensation?anyway the case in court no further Qs.
FTJ SAID POWER IS SWEET WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT.. MEANING THE CHAP WAS ENJOYING OUR MONEY.. NCHITO WORK HARD, THAT CHAP MUST BE ARRESTED. #5 YOU ARE A BLIND FOLLOWER.
Kafupi will rot in jail for messing us up.
Mwanawasa and Chiluba are all the same.The only way Mwanawasa was going to be popular was by arresting chiluba and calling him names.It has been almost ten years and nothing has happened.In simple english “they are working together”.
Kabwe deal with what you know and not speculating on issues How does Levy come in on FTJ’s cases.Pease let the courts do their job.If you know what Levy did then bring it out thhan smearing some one over another clear case.
I am quite disappointed with the courts and defence lawyers.It seems they are always out played by Sangwa and Simeza.This case is becoming too expensive every day.Please could you deal with it once and for all.To me it seems like our courts are not competent enough to deal with these cases.The English courts dealt with the case quicker and made judgement already.Make your judgement expediently too.We’ve waited for too long and money is being wasted on this case
Mina batu, how does this happen?the courts should not just dance to the tunes from the defense lawyers.It is an expensive exercise, they should not forget, when kafupi is found guilt he will die in PRISON and forever
I now think there is no need to continue with the FJT etc plunder cases. Let them all be droped with only one condition: that they bring back the money and invest it in Zambia. If we are not careful as a country, which we are, Zambia shall waste more money in pursuing these cases than the recoveries to be made….
Waste of time and money, take those police officers and prosecutors back to where they belong and restate the man’s immunity and all privildges befitting a former president because quite honestly we were hopeful this case would close within a year but guess what the MMD under LPM are now in the middle of their second term and how many cases has chiluba been found guilty? What after this, he is asked to serve jail term for 20 years after wasting US$30 million on Nkole and his friends, when LPM said these things in parliament in 2002, he made us think they had overwhelming evidence to convict the man, but now inayenda kuti evidence. Bamakaka!
We all know that it is not an easy way in and out of the cases being persuaded. I do not care how much money will be lost as long as the end to the truth is revealed. let us not worry about how much money is being lost but the next statement we writing for any of those that will want to repeat history. Its a land mark in its own. We shall learn from the mistake than have nothing to compare to in the future. Persecute them all and not one must be left. even in the grave dog them were possible.
Please our courts do your job and do it well.Its shameful that these cases have taken so long. I agree with #14 the cases must be exhausted and conclusion made.But our courts must re examine themselves as to whether thay are competent enough or are they corrupt.So much eveidence has been given,some pf it desposed off by the GVT already 400 suits, ties, shoes,houses,yatchs,harley davidsons,boats etc etc what more do they want in order for them to make judgement.Remember how quick gifts kaunda had received in office were recovered?
Case closed.
A cartel of plunderers has emerged on the Zambian scene being organised by the Lawyers. Watch who owns what, and how they have accummulated money overnight. Even this Chiluba case, is all about lawyers playing a dirty man’s game. But one day they will all be brought in the same dock, or is it prison.
