Kelvin Bwalya responds to police callout

Share

Anti-rigging Zambia Limited lawyer, Kelvin Bwalya, has handed himself to the police in Lusaka for questioning.

Police Service Spokesperson, Bonnie Kapeso, said Mr. Bwalya cooperated fully with the police during interrogations.

He however declined to disclose the outcome of the interrogations.

Police summoned Mr. Bwalya on Wednesday to answer questions over his recent statement related to the electoral process.

Last Friday, Mr. Bwalya alleged that his organization impounded a truck in Kafue carrying presidential ballot papers.

He alleged that the ballot papers were going to be used to rig next week’s presidential election.

Inspector General of Police, Ephraim Mateyo, gave Mr. Bwalya a 24 hour ultimatum to report himself to the police failure to which the service would pursue him.

Mr. Mateyo appealed to political stakeholders to desist from making statements that will incite people to engage in violent behaviour.

He urged those with information on electoral malpractices to feel free to report to the police or other law enforcement agencies instead of issuing false statements to the media.

  1. #2 useless yourself. Learn to read the newspapers. Have you not read what the IG has instructed Police to shoot criminals.

  2. Zambia’s 1st president was named “DAVID” The 2nd was “JACOB” The 3rd was “LEVY” All these three names came from the bible, now tell me which book, chapter or verse where you can find such names like “RUPIAH” ,HAAKAINDE or GODFREY? Come on people “THE GREAT ANGEL IS MICHEAL” Vote wisely its 30th October. He is 4th.

  3. where has #2 come from, he seems lost! worse still his comments are very kaponya like. What a waste of resources to take you out of zambia when all you need was a small bus to be a conductor!

  4. #5 Kelvin Bwalya is not a criminal as per say. Zambians are aware of MMD rigging weapon. If the IG is taking sides well he knows the outcome. RB has been involved in corrupt acts since the death of Levy, the Mateyo has been quiet. I know he is a product of Paramilitary and brutality is his own weapon. MMD has failed us and Danny Kalale is finished. Your crime in Norway is haunting you.

  5. WHAT CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES? ALL THE POST WANTED WAS TO DENT HIS IMAGE ACTUALLY THE POST IS A VERY CORRUPT PAPER WITH PF. WAIT N SEE MATEYO HAS TO MAITAIN LAW AND ORDER AND ENSURE THAT SUCH FAKE LAWYERS ARE DELT WITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL

  6. bushe Lubinda mu Bemba nangu ni za yellow? I thot Lubinda is from Western province. Guy Scot uko ku scotland. So who is a tribalist? This time PF has penetrated western and Northwestern provinces which were not campaigned last time due to the selfish Saki. Such lawyers like Saki are a waste of time. He was a man of a sound mind in the mid 90’s, not ino inshita. Anso Saki alechepa umubili ninshi?

  7. Zambia is on the verge of making history again, that no govt is here to stay, we had unip, we have mmd and now………….

  8. Happy Birth Day Zambia,may the almight bless you mother Zambia as we are celebrting our 44th indepence.i speak peace and prosperity as RB rules our great nation.Amen.

  9. Truth is bwana IG has shown double stds..al tht coruption tht we hav sn rb involvd in n tv,thy hav js bn quite..much as kelvin bwalya might hav bn wrng-bt remember afta it was reportd,1st OP went through th camp and alowd othaz leta,wat were they doin then.

  10. what kind…..just cast your vote wisely and let it count.Rigging i feel has always been there.The police and politrick man has all but been a big let down to our society.Wonder why after 44 yrs,there should still be some hero whorshiping thing gwan.It´s been ike this cos we have always put old folks into office who are above limit(old)
    and all they seek is to be hero whorshiped instead of putting into practice what they might have been promising.Happy birthday mather Zed and hope all works out well once and for all.
    To ll em politcians,what goes around comes around,all you have been and done will always come back to you.

  11. Ah! At this rate, just advertise the damn job for Zambian Republican President on ZNBC Radio 2! It’s getting ridiculous with each passing day.

  12. VIVA MMD
    VIVA PF

    THE PROBLEM IS THE TONGAS JUST WANT HH TONGA PARTY IN PLOT 1
    NO WAY NO CHANCE
    ZAMBIANS VOTE SATA OR RB

    NO NO TO TONGA PARTY
    TONGAS HOW MANY ARE YOU TO WIN
    HON BANDA OR HON SATA NOTHING LESS

  13. Ba tonga you are born to be ruled by us, you are never meant to rule anything but cattle
    Call us names,insult our parents but the fact is nemwe bakabalwe

  14. HOMW AFFAIRS SHOULD VERIFY HIS ID’s THIS GUY,THE LAW SHOULD ROUGH HIM UP.WE DONT WANT ANYBODY ANY BLOOD SHED IN THIS COUNTRY, WE WANNA BE AN EXAMPLE TO AFRICA AND THE WORLD AT LARGE.WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER DESPITE OUR POLITICAL AFFILIATION.ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION.

  15. But ba PF mulibamwenso!!! You are scared of the inevitable…that is losing this election. We are the same voters who voted in 2006, and guess what, we shall vote exacly the same as we did. It’s hard to swallow but MMD is definitely get this election. Even Sata knows it, and his Anti-rigging Ltd stooges simply what to create chaos – ukufilila munsenga

  16. Am I not surprised that Kelvin Mulenga can do such a thing. He is PF after all. Let him face the law, foolish chap.

  17. Translation of items in #’s 33 and 34:

    #33 ‘the thing that a duck has refused to eat, a chicken cant obviuosly take’

    #34 ‘ the wicked person that FTJ turned down, thaat same person,wise people cant support’

  18. I am on the boat guys. Will soon be in Durban. I heard there were ballot boxes there. Not sure they are for our elections. Ho Ho Ho!

  19. Daniel Munkombwe has signalled the warning. MMD will loose to PF if they are not care.
    People people.
    I will cast my vote come 31st Oct.
    ine nipa Bwata, Mwamukolo,

  20. Am not Tonga but am voting HH.We need to move forward guys.Why are Americans for Obama? We nee change.HH is offering change that will make us happy.Unlike Sata and RB,they are too old to be useful.

  21. Mateyo has refused to carry the instruction from Sata to issue him a Police Uniform and Short Button to be using as a president.Viva Mateo the man is a lunatic

  22. VJ is back in the campaign to put a case for national unity, stability and peace. Let all patriotic Zambians stand firm to prevent any heartless snake from putting it’s scaly a#s on the presidential chopper for the next 3 years. Zambia is the only country we have and can not afford just for the sake of change to ignore history. The disgraceful post must be brought to its knees for being the prince of hatred. Look at the sound counsel they gave to Zambians continuously for several years against voting for an anarchist. They have shameless swallowed their words to become a gutter paper, maligning a decent man for the sake of their lobbyist motives. Viva Bwezani, history will absorb you.

  23. Read the writings on the wall…two MMD provincial chairmen have so far predicted the ruling party’s down fall and you want to sound different.

  24. Am not a fan of SATA but its clear that he is winning. Zambians will once again show those hyenas that they are not for SALE. VIVA SATA!!!

  25. Mateyo called Kelvin Bwalya for a ‘false’ alarm but who is he going to call for the obvious case at AIRPORT? Kalale or Himself?

  26. #8 Even Satana is in the Bible. So is Judas Escariot. Would you trust your country with these. It will be like asking a lion to look after your goat.

  27. sata and your boys are toooo much into insults,even that bwalya man what kind of a lawyer is he ,let him show the pipo the truck, its just the same with those pf members in kasama suspecting anything. you claim to be famous why not just wait and see the results from the ballot…..#45 what hyenas are you referring to.

  28. A man cannot be a father before being a son. The countdown begins. Whoever becomes president is in for a good ride living up to the campaign hype. Take these munters to task!

  29. We can only PRAY for elections to be free and fair. Please whoever is going to win ensure people in Zambia fight poverty. Bring out your campaign slogans to reality.

  30. The police is taking sides. They are now summoning wrong people to the police. The people who should have been issued those police call outs are the MMD cadres who beat up innocent journalists and John Zaza who couldn’t tell a printer from ballot papers at the international airport,period!

  31. some of you guys you are trully misled Kelvin said they where tipped and he informed the Police thereforeit was up to the Police to investigate and not the other way round. Ask yourself why should Kelvin be arrested when the driver at the Airport caought with ballot papers was not even warned by the Police? grow up guys.

  32. Where is the justice if the Inspector of Police can authorise his police constables (PCs) to shoot individuals instead of capturing them? This is tantamount to allowing the the PCs to become prosecutors as well as judges. No one is above the law but this is not the way to go about things. What the IG and GRZ should concentrate on is to find the cause of what motivates such individuals to become criminals and find ways of preventing it.

  33. Okay No. 62, we have grown up. But the questions remain:
    a. Was the the truck full of ballot papers?
    b. Is Kelvin and the opposition so obsessed about the possibility of rigging that they now believe in their own myths?
    c. Why are people so scared of finished politicians like Mwaanga when he left the intelligence more than 30 years ago? Is this another myth?
    d. Is the opposition’s talk about rigging a mere strategy for preparing their followers for the inevitable defeat, so that they justify their loss?
    e. Why can’t the opposition concentrate on campaigning so that even if there were attempts of rigging, the overwhelming votes for them would make rigging impossible?

  34. You guys need to start using your brains properly. Problems for mmd started when rb picked nevers(cofused), teta(vomiting all the time)saki(evaporating), by(dry lips),nawakwi (hubby grabber)mulongoti(cadre)…..and other hynas. Why didnt he use mutati,magande,chituwo who can explain the secrets of the little achievements. VOTE MICHEAL

  35. you know what RB stoped compans in 1991, when mealie meal and sugar were rare commodities.He just started compains with sugar thinking the sugar was still a rare commodity. Achimwa mudala.

  36. Countdown: 5 days 5 hours 50 minutes remaining and we are counting.

    Vote for HH for a real ray of Chnage and Hope that all Zambians can believe and trust in. vote for your children’s future. Vote for economic independence

    To this end, I ask RBB and MMD to quickly endorse HH for Zambian President. Munkombwe was quoted as saying the Sata may win if MMD makes a single or simple mistake. So, MMD stand up for what is right. It is not too late for RBB to infrom the Nation through ZNBC TV and radio with Times of Zambia together with Zambia Daily Mail that let all vote for HH.

    May you all Zambians have a great weekend. I am leaving for a SABBATH recess. Thank you all for you support.

  37. banababo, if big man Bush rigged the elections in 2000 what about me. ask my uncle mugabi we talk every day. am for white house or sori state house.

  38. Was this paper meant for people to write such outrageous statements? Hasn’t the editor got control over what is written? I am extremely disappointed.
