THE Zambia Police says it has no intention of arresting MMD presidential aspirant Nevers Mumba and denying him a chance to contest the MMD presidency.
Police spokesperson Elizabeth Kanjela said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Dr Mumba is not being investigated by the police for him to claim that the law enforcement wing intends to arrest him and put his political career in jeopardy.
Dr Mumba told party members in Mumbwa that the police want to arrest and lock him up without police bond until the May 25 MMD provincial conferences are concluded.
“We are actually not investigating Dr Mumba at all and the concerns he has raised are not true. If the police are to arrest Dr Mumba, like any other Zambian, we need to investigate him and we would not deny him police bond,” Ms Kanjela said.
She said the police have no plans to arrest Dr Mumba because he is not being investigated for any offence.
Ms Kanjela said Dr Mumba should continue with his normal life because he is a Zambian who enjoys constitutional rights.
She said Dr Mumba can raise his concerns if the police are investigating but the law enforcement agency is not probing the former diplomat at the moment.

HH and Mumba are making noise to win sympathy
You are very dull sir/madam. For Zambia to develop, you need a strong govt and a strong opposition. That is how the west have developed.
kci, you are u r the dullest blogger. What sympathy are u talking about? The opposition leaders are merely putting you Dont know where my head is PF govt in line.
fear fear fear… makes a cat look like a lion
This comedy is really a thriller.
Ba Kanjela to me you seem too empty to be a cop.Arent you the one announcing his impending arrest over abuse of funds in Canada.As a public servant learn to be professional or else you’ll leave earlier than anticipated.
Ok, that is a new one. I hope madam you wont lose your job over this. We all know that the PF have been digging all the dirt they can like maggots on Dr Mumba,
Rather than say you are not Investigating him , why not just boldly pronounce publicly that you have found no dirt on him and prepare to be fired by President Sata
PF has introduced a style of politics difficult to understand, one day they push the police to investigate someone (DR Mumba) the next day he is not being investigated without saying if the investigation has been stopped or has found nothing. This level of inconstance is worrying since it starts from the top and now also showing with civil servants, what a schame.
Kanjela, i hope this does not cost you the job
Madam Kanjela to be abit professional you need to go further and advise your government that Dr Mumba has no case to be investated on and let government issue a statement to that effect. Failure to do so will imply PF government will have failed to rid itself of a tag as a government that harasses its citizens without any cause. This comes in the wake of detention Dr Mumba was subjected to and serious allegations president Sata made to the nation. As for the fate of your job is a matter of how you will be used as a too of PF, chew you up and lastly spit you on the floor as many have.
Is it really worthwhile commenting on the utterances of this attention seeker called ‘Dr’ Nevers Mumba? The chap is a desperate opportunist who will do and say anything to win public sympathy to satisfy his ego and selfishness. It is sad to see the media falling for his schemes.
Don’t listen or read the staff sir/madam. Why are you wasting you time commenting on it. Think straight.
meant used as tool of PF govt.
I’m sure the police have not notified Mumba that he’s no longer under their microscope. So he did well to get them to declare their position which they were scared to do because it doesn’t agree with the bwana at State House. This is pre-independence politics people what has happened to Zambia?
how do you expect pot-independence politics from pre-independence leaders who where in the thick of things.
Arrest him for selling Victory Ministries to Namibia! That was a Zambian ministry!
This man of the pulpit really overates himself politically.
What is wrong with that?
Howard, you ask what is wrong with that? He is misleading the public and some fools might take him seriously enough. The unholy man should just start thinking like a responsible honest God-fearing person he wants to pretend he is. He should stop peddling lies.
There is alot of drama in PF.
Where did Dr Nevers Mumba get the information that he will be arrested? Man of God should be truthful…in his speech.
OH please, wake up! we all read the headlines when he was being accused of abuse of office at the missionary in Ottawa…….#jackass
We are tired of N. Mumba’s stories. MMD is no more, why is this man looking for publicity all the time. Join HH if you do not mind. Otherwise we are tired of MMD guys
You will cry sir/madam very soon unless you help your Ukwa to start thinking straight
BA ZA KU SHOSA NCHITO IWE!!! USOBELA NA BENE UKUSHINFWA BA PA ZED ONE COMEDY. UKWA NI IMMEDIATE EFFECT IWE! OSA SOBELA NABO BENE MUKWAI
Dr. Mumba… My prayer is that one day U will wake up & realise that you don’t belong to this dirty kingdom of politics. Go back to the house God iwe kembo mumbwa mumbwa!
Can we have clarity. Everyone is rushing to give statements to the media instead of doing their homework first thats why govt is looking amateur. lets get it together people.
Any one wishing to waste any form of resources on Mumba is a waste of space themselves. Mumba is irrelevant in any scenario especially the political arena. I know that he is a thief, he has stolen from the church community in which he lived a lavish life, he also stole from the Zambians as VP and at the mission in Canada. The only way to deal with such a perpetual thief is to make sure anything stealable is kept away from him, simple, no sweat or waste of time and money. Then leave him to keep on ranting, the press can keep covering him because he is also a source of entertainment for people with nothing to do.
NEVERS MUMBA IS BECOMING A FUNNY GUY
I do not think that this adultere Nevers Mumba is a polical factor anywhere in the world. I wish Kanjela and the ZP could just ignore this christian clown
Ukwa has been in the FEDERAL GOVT (kapaso/police constable), UNIP, MMD and now PF.
So all thethings that Ukwa said about Dr. Mumba were part of the latest comedy sketch from Ukwa Studios?
What happened to the case of funds missappropriation at the Canadian mission, they are not probing that anymore? Ukwa is full of irrelevance for sure.
…DA WICKED FLEE EVEN WEN DEY R NOT PESUED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KANJELA KNOWS THAT MUMBA WENT TO COURT, SO SHE CAN`T SAY ANYTHING AT THE MOMENT BUT SHE KNOWS THAT THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING HIM. THE ONLY THING MUMBA IS DOING IS THE SAME AS WHAT HENRY BANDA IS DOING BY CRYING FAUL BEFORE THEY ARE EVEN QUESTIONED, THE GUILTY ONES ARE ALWAYS AFRAID. ALEIMYA FYE IMYUNGA NGABONGWE PABUKONDE. NAISHIBA ATI IMILANDU YENA EPOILI.
Iwe Kanowene ulimushila atemwa umulondo, ati “aleimya imyunga nga bongwe mubusumbu”. I’m impressed, ufwile wafuma kwa Kasongole nangu ku Chimpatika ekwaba sana bongwe.Mubusumbu
Ahah!Turn of events ka.The comedy continues.What has happened to all the accusations sata has been making against Dr mumba?Failed to find fish in a dry pond?
Kekeke.It was foolish in the first place to even think of the propability of finding the fish.
Kamoneni ka mudala pa menso! Kwati ka lenya!!!!
PF is harrassing Dr Mumba. Why did Sata dish out the Canada allegations then?
If it is true that the Police are not investigating Mumba, so the abuse of funds by Mumba in canada was not true? ZP be professional and tell us what is going on.
This Mumba would have been a Prophet by now but for the love of money & politics
Your info is very wrong
‘At the moment’ (last sentence) is the catch in the article. Yes!
@kanowene you are thick upstairs my brother.Dullness will one day kill you.And thats when you will realise that this outbreak is only for your kind.
Iwe Kanowene ulimushila atemwa umulondo, ati “aleimya imyunga nga bongwe mubukonde “. I’m impressed, ufwile wafuma kwa Kasongole nangu ku Chimpatika ekwaba sana bongwe.
The guilty are always afraid! Why should Never Mumba be scared of the unknown arrest if he knows he is cleaned? This is just logic that he knows something that the police do not know. There is no need to be paranoid if you know you are clean!
On the path to self implosion one might consider MMD has the opportunity to start over from a completely new angle with a new generation. Seems the infighting points to an older generation who still want a shot at the title. Hope new parties spring up with increasingly youthful choices. Don’t worry about the cops and do your thing Sir. Please tell your peeps to post that registration cheque. That might restore some faith in your commitment to change :)
Nevers Nevers Nevers I think true blues should not waste their time on Nevers he sees so many visions.Before the 1991 election he had a vision that they will be war if KK leaves office.RB wants Nevers to takeover from him because him just like Nevers are not true blues.Kavindele stands a better change has not been arrested or witch hunted before and besides he challenged KK when Nevers was worshiping him.
the president who will never be, stop making noise. after ditching your own party and you want pipo to listen to a man who is so desperate and in the fast lane to enrich his own soul, buzz off ka man of gold.
Since when where the charges of Abuse of Office dropped? Are the Police trying to tell us something we don’t know? You Know, the feeling that they will soon be guarding Mumba’s gate just as they are now doing for ‘yours truly’ who they severely persecuted in the previous administration and now he sleeps while they are busy blinking their eyes trying to figure out who will be fired next?
The fact that I am paranoid, doesn’t mean that no one is chasing me.
Ba never, umunenu TB Joshua alekyafye isha bakateka by simply predicting deaths, imwe mulebutuka ifibanda ifishile mipepeka, by now naimwe ngamula giver ka prediction pama oposition parties to take over governments around africa. Eish.. Kwena ni ka man of gold zo ona ee
the govt in power knows that dr mumba is a threat. they will do all it takes to discredit him. bcoz as the situation stands, mumba is the only hope for MMD to go back into power. they had nothing against him in the first place, taking him before the task force was just a way of discrediting him.
