Police round up ex-minister

Share

File:Former deputy Health Minister Dr Solomon Musonda at Woodlands police station after he was arrested.

Police are investigating reports that a former Minister in the MMD government caused the death of a man by dangerous driving and paid his family ten million Kwacha to avoid prosecution.

Central Province Commissioner of police Solomon Jere has revealed that police are investigating former Health Deputy Minister, Solomon Musonda.

Dr. Musonda caused the death of a man in Serenje by dangerous driving and failed to report the matter to police.

Dr. Jere has told ZNBC new that investigations in the matter have reached an advanced stage.

He says the incidence happened on the same day that Dr. Musonda allegedly shot a PF cadre in Serenje district.

Dr. Jere says police officers are currently investigating the matter and Dr. Musonda is expected to be slapped with fresh charges.

  1. Too bad for Dr Musonda now you are on the other side of the law. People we need to learn to treat each other fairly. If this was the case Musonda would have by now sorted this case out through the courts of law.By end of 90days there will be no MMD.

  2. This is what happens when professionals throw professionalism through the window and join gangster cadres. His career is to save life but he did the opposite. What a shame his career coming to a crude halt at such a young age.

  3. Musonda you have ruined yourself through your greed for the money through politics. Expect no mercy from the Pa Fwaka government. By the time you are out of the cooler ninshi walilwala na AIDS. Sorry man. Filachitika.

  4. Too bad. politics is a gamble esp to young proffessional politicians. university drop outs like sinda MP, former FDD and now MMD, called by levy ngoma who has been lucky though perpetually in oppossition but he has a career as MP now in his second term. but musonda’s career is in jeopard just over a mistake of being lured by mmd to stand in serenje when he was initially PF. anyhow we wish him the very best of lucky.

  5. we begged you people in power then to please ensure that you make our prisons very comfortable.even put ma geyser, Jacuzzi nama plasma tv not forgetting aircons but you refused. Mwaona manje its you that need to go to jail. tiye kaman, chosa beluti useluke napa nsapato ungene mu chitolokosi

  6. This boy was not ready for politics. He should have waited a little. He was young, flush with cash, with a big title (Honourable Deputy Minister), big chauffeur driven car etc! They made him over excited and he couldn’t handle it properly. Needed some coaching.

  7. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MUSONDA, please find out from Katele where Liato is hiding so that you run there as well. Otherwise the snake is coming for you and it looks like it can actually bite!!

  8. Sad how the police are very helpful towards the political party of the day…makes Zambia a dangerous place…cry my beloved country…

  9. Yabah, yazanda Muzo boi, kanshi diaspora is also good people, let us feel proud for having made an initial mistake of leaving mother Zambiato.

  10. Don’t worry its now natural law to do its part,, If you hit heavens with false energy it shall hit you back 7 times worse,,, Enjoy it..

  11. Power is like vodka,it’s good while it lasts but you have no idea how many regrettable things you’ve done. Musonda wanya lelo!:d

  12. Well, frankly, anyone in such a scenario would have done the same thing as the ex minister did. Guys, death is not a small thing to cause to another. Anyone who has ever committed a criminal offence can admit that if they had their way, they would have paid themselves out of the case!

  13. This what we told you some time back when RB gave you that simple charge when you shot our brother. Now you gonna face a really charge and a really prison time. Learn to live a simple life when you have power always restrain.

  14. Character Assassin #29 speak for yourself! If you are a criminal it doesn’t mean everybody else is. Don’t justify your weakness by trying to blanket everyone under it

  15. musonda is a doctor in the hospital. he is just human and can have an accident. let justice prevail. dont judge too early. 

  16. Used and discarded, he should have stuck to medicine. It is a pity  that the so called educated people in the MMD are the ones who were used to do a lot of illegal activities and now they have been left to hang alone. 

  17. Solomon is one of the most brilliant and brave men that Zambia has ever produced (reminds me of late Cletus Chanda). From the time he was an excellent student at Serenje Boys Tech Sch to UNZA-he was a rare kind. Yes, he was wrong in his actions. However, given the circumstances and pressure, how could he have acted differently? We have seen campigns go viral. Pull thru Muzo!

  18. Ladies and Gentlemen it looks like the snake is not sleeping this young man’s crimes were swept under the carpet by Bwezani too many people with dirty hands are not sleeping all over Zambia.Next week there will be an announcement on the radio and TV if you know any information please call a number to report the crime and there will be a reward and your name will not be revealed.

  19. hmm, nkani yalula! most of the MMD guys have so much dirt on them they all need to go to ground till the dust settles. 90 days in the wilderness. YAPYA!

  20. Killing a person accidentally in a road Traffic accident is one thing. You then do the right thing, present yourself to authorities; If the family asks for compensation & nothing else, well & good! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AFTERALL! HOWEVER, same scenario, you however proceed to conceal the fact by buying off witnesses/family etc, THIS AGGRAVATES THE SITUATION & BECOMES A CRIME!!!! For a learned man such as he is, IT ALL BEGGARS BELIEF!!

  21. #41 you’re on target. Killing a person while driving may not be such a serious offense if you report yourself to the police. I think this guy had done a lot of wrong on this particular day alone and he became so scared and overlooked the fact that umulanda taufisama for too long. As Dr Murray.

  22. Are these the type of people who governed us? They are indeed hiting front pages…..PF in power, don’t kubeba…….

  23. If anything this is an indictment on the police service and their luck of professionalism. There was a death which by all accounts should have been reported to the authorities seeing as it was not caused by natural causes. How on earth does the police together with the health authorities fail to investigate such a death even if the family were paid. Any excuse to point fingers at MMD leadership influencing the Police will not do. Who and when did that interference take place. It appears to me to be the same old thing of the police and other authorities failing to apply justice to the incumbent administration and then showing their teeth when it suits the witch hunter whoever that may be as long as they are in office. Not that I have any sympathy for this man and wish he was indicted sooner
