UPND President Hakainde Hichilema says he did nothing wrong on the Copperbelt for Police to summon him.
Police in Luanshya have summoned Mr Hichilema and Vice Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba to appear for questioning tomorrow over a meeting the duo held with Mpongwe residents.
Copperbelt Police Commissioner Charity Katanga confirmed that the callouts had been issued for Mr Hichilema and Mr Bwalya to appear before Luanshya Police.
The two UPND leaders were last week denied access to their party officials incarcerated at Kamfinsa State Prison despite going there during visiting hours.
“Yes, we have summoned the two to appear for questioning concerning the meeting they had in Mpongwe on Monday. They will appear at Luanshya Central Police on Wednesday at 14:00 hours,” said Mrs Katanga.
Police sources disclosed that Mpongwe district Commissioner Keith Maila formally lodged a complaint against Mr Hichilema and Mr Bwalya in Kitwe for allegedly inciting Mpongwe residents to rise against the government.
But Mr Hichilema laughed at the callouts and wondered when greeting party members became an offence.
He said President Lungu was looking for an opportunity to lock him up as that had always been his plan.
“If it is about the Kamfinsa visit, we notified the Prison authorities that we were going to see our detained officials, those that are wrongly detained by Lungu and on the way we were greeting people, that’s our right. We did not incite anybody. We started greeting people from Chibombo and did that all the way, so why would he say that we were inciting violence and talking nonsense he is talking about in Luanshya? He (Lungu) is a brutal dictator who has now shown his true colours, because I did nothing wrong for him to instruct his police to summon me, he wants me arrested for no reason,” Mr Hichilema charged.
“He denied us our right to visitation of those that are wrongly detained by him. But we will continue demanding for their release. It’s him who is stroking violence, inciting citizens to rise because of his brutality. What is wrong with stopping at a market to buy vegetables and greet people? What’s wrong with that? His ministers do that every day, why can’t we do that ourselves? He is not the Constitution, the Constitution is above him! The point is that we are not inciting anybody, he is the one who is doing that.” Mr Hichilema charged.
He said PF President Edgar Lungu should be ashamed for stopping his entourage from visiting party members who were incarcerated for defending the Constitution.
“Why would he take our rights to visit detainees? Even detainees have the right to be visited. There is nothing that we did wrong, absolutely nothing wrong. This is what he has been planning, he has been planning to lock us up so that he can install someone in the UPND leadership the way he did to the MMD by putting Mutati there. That’s what he is trying to do but that scheme will not work. UPND is a strong party, it’s a party that won the election,” said Mr Hichilema.
HH, I am sorry but Zambians are sheep. They will never stand up for their tights. Lungu will close down newspapers, arrest women and Zambians will go on eating nshima and praying to God. You should focus on creating wealth and just let them be. When they join other African countries in pure corruption and anarchy, then perhaps they will stop and think. Rules by an alcoholic with Mugabe and Museveni running the country, Zambians just sit. Their religious leaders have become political pawns, their judges have become political prostitutes. free speech has been censored by closing the newspapers. Did you expect any less? Just sit and watch as the maize goes to Zimbabwe to feed lungu’s bastard father. When Zambians start running to Zimbabwe for food and electricity, then the circle…
My foot , Lungu will close down newspapers? Stop lumping private newspapers incompetence to run themselves on Lungu.
Times of Zambia and ZNBC websites have been down and inconsistency for I don’t know how long now and am certain that if they were private media houses, people would blame it on PF Government, but because they are government, it is rightly blamed on incompetence. Zambiawatchdog and Post Newspaper have not been closed by Government by the incompetence of the owners to run their affairs
In the eyes of the elite HH, YOU WON these elections.
They were stolen from you
Thanks
BB2014
Please call Nubian Princess – she is missing you.
@1.2 Mushota – please spare us your idiocy. We have enough of them going round calling HH his excellency the president.
It is in my own very selfish interests that I summoned HH and GBM. No national interests here.
So just be good boys and accept my stolen 5 year mandate.

Breaking news. Ba UPND to petition the early begging of rainfall. They have accused the PF of rigging in order to fill the Kariba Dam and end loadsheding.
Iwe Ha Ha just attend to the police call out. You have now turned to incite people on the Copperbelt because the people in Southern Province have now refused to listen to your incitement. For your own info no one will risk their freedom over you. Why don’t you and GBV organize your wives and children and rise against GRZ? And it’s you who is a dictator, who has refused to go for a convention. Grow up Under 5 time is not on your side the country is on the move. Come 2021 you will lose again because even the few people who were supporting you are changed their mind because of your immature political stance.
Just stay home badala and drink mabisi. Wamuyaya president. What are you trying to prove to world? Stop accusing Lungu for everything. You break the law Ati ni Lungu waufwa insala Ati ni Lungu.
HAHAHA You’re a Cunt !!
Lungu is so afraid of the mighty HH who took on the whole GRZ machinary and lungu who spent 10 billion and still had to use violence and intimidation and rigging to win by a mere 2 %.
Shame on you PF.
Tell your leader to go and tell the police that he did nothing wrong on the copperbelt, why is he telling the public. Is he still looking for sympathy? This man is really a coward who only wants to hide his cowardice in the movement of his supporters. He should show courage and not complain to woo sympathy.
So why doesn’t the mighty his excellency president Hakainde Hichilema pardon the prisoners? Or maybe his only mighty in your puny minds.
HH is a coward. He wants his supporters to take to the street while he is hiding online. Now that ZWD has been shut down he is running to the Lusaka Times for an audience.
Even the Post newspapers has conceded that PF won fair and square. So HH go and drink poison.
@spaka a mere 2% changed everything my bro, these guys need to tame their mouths or else yes he will soon taste the police cells……#ECL
@Makasa, 2 degrees Celsius has actually also changed the world, (but ka@Spaka wouldn’t know)…
Please i berg you those who are close to Lungu tell him.The day Lungu will lock HH in a cell even for one day that will be the end of him.Dont say we never warned you.
Ba CIA we have the FSB on our side
When you do not know your destination, you shall never arrive. Similarly when you have done nothing wrong, you should not be afraid. The police might be wanting to advise or indeed ask for an opinion on certain issues. Why are you seeing shadows instead of the sun and are so quick to cry for sympathy?
MOST Zambians are DOCILE, thats how KK oppressed them for 27 years. Even now KK would still have been president. The only reason KK was removed was bcoz of Mealie-meal shortages, not becoz he oppressed DOCILE Zambians.
LUNGU will even amend the constitution & give himself a 3rd-term or even Life-President, as long as mealie-meal is available, ZAMBIANS wont react.
In short, most ZAMBIANS can’t think beyond a PLATE of NSHIMA
We already know who is changing his party constitution to suit his desire to lead in perpetuity. Do not try to divert his dealings to other innocent citizens.
you’re right ba maloza, our docility actually almost allowed your HH to be president to our utter shock. From now on, we’ll make sure we vigorously guard against our docility and ensure no more HH anxiety in our peaceful nation. Phewwwww!
Zambians don’t like war – they choose peace over civil war. Who is ready to die for Zambia? Call them docile but the country is not worth dying for.
KK still rules Zambia – ALL the current ministers and MPs and all those politicians you see in Zambia are FORMER UNIP – in short they are all STILL UNIP under a different hat..!
2 per cent is relative in that it depends on the magnitude of the base number. When you score an own goal and immediately the referee blows the final whistle, the opponent will have worn by the same goal you your selves scored. When you don’t succeed first time it is called trial and the second time is failure. Advise him to try something else.
When one uses all state machinary to campain and harrass the opposirion and spend 10 billion on development you would expect a landslide victory.
Instead you get a hollow sour suspect victory marred by alleged rigging to squeeze a 2% victory.
Now that is a loss. No wounder lungu hates HH even now and is seeing shadows every where HH goes.
As they say the guilty are truly afraid….
“…and spend 10 billion on development…”, bravo mwaice @Spaka, at least you are maturing by the day.
Keep it up boy…
Visungu
Indeed 10 billion spent on development yet still got rejected by more Than 50 %.
Cont’d
LUNGU has been taking ZAMBIANS rights one by one & ZAMBIANS have been dancing along:-
Freedom of Speech & Free Media: closure of independent Media Houses
Freedom of Association: HH cant visit his members in jail
Freedom of Movement: Incarceration of UPND cadres while Max Chongo is a free-bird
Equality: Now some tribes have become less equal & are being purged out of employment
Justice:- Judiciary is now a joke
These are the pillars of democracy being blasted away
When you are incarcerated you don’t all the rights. Freedom of speech may be withdrawn because of your conduct (solitary confinement ). Please understand that rights are never absolute. My right to keep a drum of petrol in my flat, infringes on the rights of my neighbours.
Let us not mislead people over things we don’t know or understand. As one wise person once said “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing”
PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has indefinitely frozen the impending International Monetary Fund (IMF) economic recovery programme for Zambia because of the uncompromising conditions attached, sources within the Bank of Zambia have revealed.
The sources said President Lungu has expressed reluctance to give a go ahead on the planned engagement with the IMF after realising that the conditionalities for the emergency loans might be too much for the government to fulfill.
The sources said the IMF economic recovery programme would come in form of a 0.5 per cent interest rate loan of between US $1.2 billion and US $1.5 billion.
“This loan is for balance of payment support; it is not a loan that you are going to use to pay teachers’ salaries or pay road contractors or whatever obligations the…
Nation matter not these issues lungu is wasting time on
Hh ur innocent till proven guilty. Y crying foul..instead of going there and defend yourself? Plz stay away from trouble by accepting defeat and sober up b4 u fall in this trap of being locked up..! Mind u, most of us, your supporters have moved on and so don’t expect any demos if locked up. Mind your language and respect the presidency..!
@munene we in Zambezi republic only have one president that is Hakainde Hichilema finish.We dont no know were this ka malawian drunken master come from to be president of defunct zambia.
Please stay there we do not need idyats like you king whatever your useless name is!
@Choma Mano I ALREADY HAVE!!
Sorry @ choma that comment for @ Civil below!
HE President Lungu doesn’t have to try very h a r d to find a reason to THROW HH & Co. into police cells. The group are a walking violation on Zambian soil!
You know your stock’s down when the police refer to you as, ‘the two’ when they can refer to you as President and Vice of UPND if they were bothered enough!
Next it will be, ‘the suspects will appear in court soon’,…
Patriot Abroad come and tell Lungu to pay us our salaries.We are hungry.
@Civil
I ALREADY HAVE told them to pay!! I am on the side of fairness on that one. I need you to do your job right!
stupid under five, what do you expect when you go round the country telling then to “”rise up and defend””
themselves, against what? this is treason of the worst order.
Kampyongo, what are you waiting for? pick up under five and his pimp fat albert, throw them in the
cooler and sweeze their balls until they learn to behave in a civilized manner. for under five, the list
of crimes is endless, there is the liquidations of lima bank, RAMCOZ, intercontinental hotel, etc.
let him tell the nation what happened to the money and assets of these companies
But why is HH telling us what he has and/or has not done, whether right or worng? HH, we are not Police Officers for you to start exculpating yourself here. Just go and answer a few questions kwasila. Why always look for sympanthy over things you deliberatley abbrogate yourself with your pea-sized brain fat friend? Sometimes, I never want to believe that Lucifer does exist. But if I were to find a reason to convince myself about his existence, I would point to HH’s face. Bitterness is for Lucifer!
there is more, coming your under five and your pimp fat albert. if you silly mps continue boycotting
parliament, the rules of the house are that if an mp absents himself without permission for threeconsecutive sittings, he has expelled himself from parliament. and the speaker orders a by election in that
constituency. we are waiting for your under five mps to stage their mass walkouts, we cant wait to field our candidates in the impending b y elections. as things are now, PF with a majority of more than 100 mps is
not bothered they will continue to legislate. that how foolish you and fat albert are, shame on you.
Ayoopa celo moguls,,,,,ukaziputa limba
Breaking news. UPND to petition the early begging of rainfall. They have accused the PF of rigging in order to fill the Kariba Dam and end loadsheding.
mukakeni we are not interested in your under five h=behaviour
Lungu is a dog
Every human being was made in the image of GOD, Let’s respect one another in order for others to respect us.
Zambia Proverb:
If you see the bus conductor’s head the know that the bus is empty. If you see his buttocks then the bus is full.
PF cadres are blinded by their hatred for HH. Lungu is single handedly turning this country into a failed banana republic and all you are doing is cheering him on. Wait until you or your close relations fall out of favour from this dictator and by then it would be too late.
As things stand, HH is his last hurdle to complete Supreme leader status and he knocks him down, forget the country as you know it. The man is banking on the silence and docile nature of the citizens and he’s trying things gradually to see the reaction from the people. So far he’s had a free pass.
HH could quit today and buy an island somewhere in the Caribbean and you think he’s fighting for his own ego. We all owe it to the man to keep this imposter dictator in check.
Indeed you are a maverick at dreaming. Dream on. The only question I have for you is what do you smoke??
Amazing how much time HH has wasted on this political pipe dream.
Can HH, GBM, Nevers Mumba spend a minute without daring ECL, the Police, ZNBC, ZAF, etc with their press conferences & daily personal letters? Why fear for the consequences of actions you have deliberately performed? Instead of working on your ICC & ICJ petition you promised Zambians, you are still country trotting, campaigning until they will become time barred & again start hurling insults on those courts. You have persecuted Lungu so much in the name of fighting for Zambians. Just volunteer to go to jail to demonstrate the love you have Zambians as K K & Mandela did for Zambians & South Africans, respectively.
IMF has placed hefty conditions on Zambia loans – no borrowing without FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION; without FREE MEDIA and WITHOUT FRESS SPEECH…!!
LUNGU HAS GENERATE MONEY SOMEHOW…!
MUDONSENI MU BELT AYENDE, AZAKAMBILA KUSOGOLO. WHY AKAMBILA APA,AYENDE CHABE KUSOGOLO, MUMUDONSE MONGA NG’OMBE KUMUCHILA.
We are a resilient nation that can survive hardships with or without IMF loans we can survive in fact these loans bring more misery. If you hold these loans as manna from above I suggest you repent.God will never forsake Zambia.
Go to UTH and see. God has forsaken Zambia just like he did Sodom and Gomorrah
One question for the PF President: Are HH and GBM under house arrest that they cannot visit other people or visit their followers around the country? I want PF President Lungu to tell the Nation if HH and GBM are under house arrest and what they have done to be put on house arrest?
I think talking about dictatorship in Double H himself is an understatement. Whatever authority he has in his Monze Party, he feels he has authority to give ultimatum to any official in Govt. Last year I remember he Commanders in the Security Forces 48 hrs. Just as he gave 48 hours to President Lungu to reopen THE POST Newspapers. He recently gave another 48 hrs for the President to release detained UPND officials at Lsk Central Prison. Had he not been stopped from entering KAMFINSA in a group of 50 another 48 hrs was eminent.
(Police sources disclosed that Mpongwe district Commissioner Keith Maila formally lodged a complaint) and how Edgar gets involved is a shock to me.some of you would even complain that government shut down certain media houses like watch dog,which was also blocked by fb.if if I had the power to shut it..I would have done it myself a long time.those media houses were feeding a nation with anger and bitterness and everything but the truth and anyone who dare listened to them would be lured into a mind that did not seek peace but vengeance.all they wanted was war so that he can cry to the Westerners for war equipment to fight the government..I sincerely apologize,im so very sorry but not in my country.Breaker
Matter of fact you shall know them by the fruits who really is or isn’t a dictator.hh was quoted saying we did not lose and We Shall Fight For our Democratic Rights.HH after ascending to his upnd thrown has never gone to a conversion for more than 18years..HH has not even once declared Zambia a Christian nation,his caders are encouraged to fight ,his MPs unruly and when he speaks you can tell another lie is coming,he was quoted saying (what is prayer but an escape goat for lazy people who do not want to work) during the time of national prayer.u do not recognize prayer then u can’t recognize God.this cannot ever be my president…..ever…I’m Breaker a transcendent
Reasons I voted for Edgar.he was willing to step down in order to avoid chaos during the fight for succession with guy Scot,he is slow to anger and thinks before speaks,he has a sound mind,proved himself capable of handling the instruments of power before ba daddy ba SATA died.he has the Zambian people’s interest @ heart not vama 10point plan is hard working and all in all he puts God in charge… hierarchy completed..Breaker and I approve this message
Men of substance stand on a podium and speak good of others. Cowards will always hide behind illegitimate means of proving that they have authority.
Show leadership PF.
Remember, there is a time for everything in life.
You lose nothing by being kind to those that offer you nothing in return.
By 2021 gbm will be as broke as the late Chiluwe and others who followed later like uncle BY
POLICE, TODAY JUST LOCK UP UNDER FIVE AND FATALBERT. CHARGE THEM UNDER THE PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC SECURITY REGULATIONS (CAP 33) OF THE LAWS OF ZAMBIA. CHAPWA.
MAILO, SPEAKER RULES THAT THE 50+ MPS OF UNDER FIVE’S PARTY WHO BOYCOTTED THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT ARE NO LONGER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE. WE GO FOR BYELECTION. ONLY THOSE IN DUNDUMWEZI, NAMWALA, CHOMA, MAZABUKA AND MONZE WILL SURVIVE. THE REST WILL LOOSE TO PF. THIS IS HOW YOU TEACH PEOPLE TO GROW UP. IF A CHILD LIKE UNDER FIVE IS PLAYING WITH FIRE, GIVE HIM THE FIRE SO THAT IT BURNS HIM, END OF STORY.
Police leave HH & GBM alone.Dont even sermon them to any of your stations as they are no match and sermoning them you might make them heros as some people dont know them as at now so once you sermon them then some people will try to find out as who are these two people the police are sermoning.We have forgoten about the already just after 11th August and no interest in whatever they do.
HH go and tell the police that you did nothing wrong. If you start telling the nation that you did nothing wrong ,you are telling the wrong audience. There are national organs entrusted with the responsibility of keeping national security. Those are the people who know whether or not you did something wrong. There are so many ways to win sympathy this one is definitely not one of them.
UYU CHATILE NA LUBALE WAKWE LELO BALEPONOKA. CHARITY KATANGA, JUST READ CLAUSE 33 UNDER PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC SECURITY REGULATIONS TO THEM AND DETAIN THEM. THEY CAN ROT AT KAMFINSA. KAUNDA APPLIED THIS LAW AGAINST CHILUBA, CHILUBA APPLIED THIS LAW AGAINST KAUNDA, MWANAWASA APPLIED THIS LAW AGAINST CHILUBA, AND SATA CAGED BANDA AND LATER ON RELEASED HIM AND PARDONED HIM. USE THIS LAW TO TEACH THESE FOOLISH CHILD POLITICIANS THAT GOVERNMENT HAS POWER TO DEAL WITH TROUBLE MAKERS. WE CANT HAVE THIS BOY GOING ROUND IN MOTORCADES AND BEING ADDRESSED AT ‘BA PRESIDENT HH’ ATA SEE. IF ALL OTHER 35 PRESIDENTS OF POLITICAL PARTIES DID THIS, WHHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ZAMBIA?

Its very sad and stupid of you not to admit the rubbish you have been doing. I have just remembered that you are demo.n possessed sent from hell.
@ Mpundu #Even countries the UK rely on Euro funds and IMF money for fuel and nuclear energy. Zambia will beg the IMF for funds – Zambia is in huge debt and to recover they will need IMF.
