The opposition Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) has restated its demand for the release of its vehicles that are not on the list of the vehicles that the Government Joint Investigations Team (GJIT) has seized from it.
The combined team of government investigators is currently investigating alleged plunder of national resources by the MMD and seized vehicles that were used during the MMD’s 2011 general election campaigns, vehicles among which the former ruling party is claiming are allegedly illegally detained.
The MMD had earlier in a letter dated 20th August this year written the Inspector General of Police (IG) over the same matter to which the IG in a letter dated 2nd September replied advising the MMD to instead engage the GJIT over the said illegally detained vehicles.
In another letter dated September 6th 2013 addressed to the IG and disclosed to Qfm today, MMD Information and Publicity Secretary Alfred Ndhlovu noted that his party finds the explanation given by IG annoying.
Mr. Ndhlovu has accused the Zambia Police of being indecisive and procrastinating to the MMD’s disadvantage on the matter as there is no law that the Zambia Police can cite to say that it is still investigating the matter and therefore constraining the IG from discussing the matter further.
Mr. Ndhlovu said that the matter involving the detained MMD vehicles is already in public domain and it is of the public’s interest to know what both GJIT and the MMD are doing to conclude the matter either amicably or in court.
Mr. Ndhlovu argued that by legal requirements the GJIT is only supposed to remain with 39 vehicles in exclusion to the other MMD vehicles that have been detained over the same investigations.
Mr. Ndhlovu also noted that the MMD can withdraw court action if it is satisfied that the Zambia Police is dealing with the former ruling party in compliance with the law of the land.
The MMD Information and Publicity Secretary, has urged the Zambia Police to focus on resolving the matter of the detained vehicles amicably.
The vehicles that the opposition MMD is claiming were illegally detained together with the other seized vehicles include among others, a Toyota Hilux Van registration ALC 4993 which was seized from Parliament Motel.

do you trust pf police force…….and its ugly —–she is jst a bitch…jst fu,ck it
Always the outcome when you are headed by crooks and a compromised system. We have no Zambia Police but PF Police.
New unending Spiritual and divine government devoid of current human lies and sufferings soon to come. prepare your souls and put your trust and faith in Him who is eternal. Not Michael Sata,Hakainde or any other politician who are just passing.
Don’t play with God.Keep God out of your politics,otherwise don’t come and blame anyone on what is going to happen to you or your family.
LT , Kindly delete my comment. I did not get what my friend @ Jesus is COming again was saying.Thank you.
MMD why wasting your time, just take them to Court. We all know that this IG is not a civil servant but a party cadre.PF are good at losing Cases so go ahead and clean them. Reducing the role of Zambian Police to cadres is a Shame.
Zambians let us not support corrupt elements MMD did plunder our country unless you are the enemy of the state you can support MMD.What have they achieved in 20 years.PF has pleased the international community I live in the Western World.They are happy with the infrastructure development.Zambia is no longer called a landlocked but a land linked.Opposition tried to paint bad image but no one us interested in that not even Commonwealth.They know their Agenda.Whether you like it or not Sata will leave a mark.
@cage the crooks,
do not worry or even comment on most of these negative postings by these anti pf clique.
these chaps were, and some of them are still beneficiaries of the looting that took place under the corrupt mmd through alot of scholarships abroad and now that the heat is on, they now think that they can bring down pf through these on line media. we will note that often than not, most of these postings are done by the same characters under different pseudos.
@ Mature? Are you referring to me? I never did my education in your corrupt MMD or useless PF with no direction Ok?? being abroad has nothing to do with any of the Zambian Political Parties?? 2 years Now you mean they can not charge MMD if the vehicle were illegal?? this IG & his PF government have no case either do they have evidence. What we have learnt is that PF are so quick to make mistakes, and label everyone a thief?? next they backtrack due to lack of evidence. So S.h.ut up and write Facts. If you are a PF beneficiary enjoy your moments. 2016 is just around the corner.
Where is the PF getting the money to fund their campaigns if not from the government coffers? They started it , they will have all their personal properties obtained during their term in office seized and sold on to raise the money to restore subsidies on maize and agricultural inputs.
Money given used to bribe the opposition MPs will also be investigated under corruption charges and the MPs together with PF officials responsible caged for massive corruption and nepotism.
PF I warn you to start preparing your defence now because the judgements that chibesakunda is passing against the opposition will be used as reference in all your cases. I wonder what your defence will be. If you turn around and say Chibesakunda erred in most of her judgements then you be digging your holes even…
Today the were praying for these *****s in church I couldnt say a word or prayer because pf belong in hell I mean its a team of demons why should we pray for evil people dull kaponyas that have failed the country I just found out that one cadre from katondo has a job at zra now because of this demon you scum call
Sue them and have the vehicles back. I suspect at the end some of these vehicles when time to get them will be no longer working because the police are getting spare parts for their vehicles.
Cage the scrooks, you really have a bitter heart against mmd. what you think mmd wasted in 20 years can be doubled to match what pf has wasted in only 2 years.
cage the crook, you’re an international crook. development that you’re talking about was started under RB, i can give you few examples the robert makasa university, district hospitals, modern schools, terminal building at Livingstone international airport, formula 1 roads through out the country. economy under RB became very stable. sata is just good at renaming his friends projects and essential commodities have become extremely expensive and local currency is shooting like a rocket….. some mining towns no single public toilet has been renovated……..
ba LT,you are also a bunch of anti pf.
what is there to moderate on my posting that is merely responding to and highlighting on most of mmd’s mischieves and nonsense.
be real imwe naimwe.
Who was not mmd including state house now? Maybe WK who was with BY?
even the IG is a PF cadre! where is professionalism here?
Would this police lady called Lipbanging do this vehicle detention if it was PF vehicles? She is just a PF police operative pretending to care about zambia.
Stella, dont release these vehicles. they are stolen property from the Zambians. the case should be concluded first. We are supporting you.
BUT PF NGO. YOUR USED TO IN OPPOSITION. NOW YOU WILL FORM PF OPPOSITION PARTY
