The Zambian Voice has welcomed the decision by the Lusaka Magistrate Court to discontinue the case where a private Lusaka resident Newton Ng’uni drugged the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Mutembo Nchito to court on allegations of abuse of public office .
Zambian Voice Executive Director Chilufya Tayali said the law was clear that a sitting Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) cannot be prosecuted according to the constitution.
This is according to the press statement issued by Mr. Tayali to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
Mr. Tayali however observed that the discontinuation of Mr. Nchito’s case does not mean that the DPP’s immunity is not like that of the President which is explicit in the constitution.
He said the matter has remained with President Edgar Lungu to set up a tribunal according to article 58 of the constitution of Zambia to probe the DPP.
Mr. Tayali said the DPP may not function properly because public confidence has been shaken by the allegations.
He said therefore the President has an obligation to protect the DPP’s office.
Mr. Tayali has also commended President Lungu for not interfering with proceedings in court since the case started.
It is not done, ECL will try other avenues to try to intimidate DDP. DDP should be left alone. Who hasn’t stolen? if you haven’t stone this man, everyone will walk way including ECL. Banda is the reason for this intimidation, 2016 is around the corner and ECL when out of office will have to account for this? DDP might be a thief but so many thieves are still stealing and killing innocent people, that is not an excuse but the system is broken even the way ECL was elected and even the way he is running the country is mockery.
Please Nchito NO Nolle prosequi for this rapist Tayali.
Tayali the rapist you are polluting Zambia’s image by constantly yapping when you should be in prison for rapping that poor woman.
This rapist needs lessons on how to nyengelela women to accept to make love to him, not forcing baba.
Let him sing praises to PF and Lungu all he wants but one day, this case will stick like super glue and send him to jail.
I can not wait to see this thing taken to jail for rape. I can not even call it an animal because animals know how to negotiate for sex. Sure na galu azikuchila nkani yo sweet talker tu gelo! You are Zombie.
Tayali is a small penis man thats why he rapes women.
So apa he wants Nchito to draw a nolle prosequi for him. No baba, jail is waiting for you.
Its amazing how these fellows CANNOT read what is in front of them…the national constitution is very clear about this particular matter…but yet again, the way the PF constitution was disrespect once apon a time…kaya!
TAYALI LOOKING FOR A NOLLE PROSEQUI, ARE YOU? NO YOUR CASES WON’T BE CLOSED, THEY’LL BE PURSUED TO THE LETTER
Democracy your opinion is spot on! DPP is being accused yet who at the top can stand up and say they have not misused authority? Who can? This intimidation is because of RB.
But this Tayali is he not the guy who is a potential sexual predator facing sexual assault charges in court? Ooh! Dear what a wimp!
How dare Tayali call a citizen a resident? What is he insinuating?
Or is our news reporter’s chosen word?
Please DPP can you make sure this Tayali is caged with 100 years in prison.
Not long ago this Paedophile was d one praising the arrest of Mutembo abash RB and Lungu
Ba tayali, isn’t it you just a few days ago who was saying the DPP could not enter a Nolle Prosequi in his own case? What has changed? You suffer from a serious case of NEIGHBOURHOOD SYNDROME. Now that the magistrate has dismissed the case, you agree. A journalist like you should always do research before commenting, you are not a common blogger like the rest of us. Shameless.
**Neighbourhood syndrome is when you’re walking down the road in a neighbourhood and the dog at house number 1 starts barking, then all the other dogs along the street start barking too without understanding what is really going on. (Moma’s dictionary)
If ever one needed evidence as to why as a country we never develop, this is it.
How and why we afford characters like this guy so much coverage boggles my mind.
I mean this guy is on record just a few days ago saying all sorts of bad stuff about the nolle entered by the DPP. How he could possibly turn around and say this today is mind boggling.
But that is not surprising to say the least, what is shocking is that the person who filed this report could not ask Mr Tayali how he reconciles he totally contradictory stances on this matter.
Our tolerating characters like Mr Tayali reflects our lack of seriousness as a people. This man is facing charge in our courts of law for god’s sake. He shouldn’t be afforded even the slightest attention ever.
The reporters at LT have poor English. It is not “drugged” but “dragged.” Does anyone edit these articles? Use spellcheck on your computer for goodness sake!
This is a U turn Tayali. I think this guy realized that Mutembo would not be prosecuted then he remembered his pending court case and did a U turn so that things are made easy for him when he goes to court. Kuwe! Double tongued coward!
This Tayali is just another imbecile
Icongo we kanangwa we ka tayari! We know your motive has been to have the DPP out of office in any which way.
And who do u think u are to command the president to come up with tribunal? Even if el is a self acclaimed visionless leader, does it surely reduce him to the extent of being commanded by u?!
Iwe Tayali you have lost your credibility due to your being charged in the court with rape. There’s no piety in you whatsover.
I totally agree with ‘Armchair Analyst’, why is it that a criminal is given so much space every day in the papers to say unreasonable things, misleading the masses?
In fact he is not supposed to hold that position of Executive Director, I wonder how other member in that NGO feel about him.
What next for Nguni… Piising in his trousers !!!
at the moment there are planning to use the cadres to remove DPP. RAINBOW PARTY PUT IN HIGH GEAR, There are a lot of mistake from PF leaders. Look at cabinet you can tell that they are not together
Ka Tayali ka chi kala, just keep quiet and concentrate on your rape case instead of trying to appear cleaver and all knowing.
Tayali Rape case is 15 years minimum.
Is this what you have realized to change color
