President Lungu Briefs the Press at City Airport

REPUBLICAN President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has urged Zambians not to lose any sleep or be distracted from their way of life.

Speaking on arrival at Kasama Airport on a three day working visit to Northern Province, President Lungu said all those making calls for him to intervene in the criminal prosecution of individuals should stop because he knew the responsibilities around his Office too well and they did not include interfering with the judicial process in criminal matters.

He said Zambia as a country has the Police to investigate matters, to determine charges and to fully prosecute any criminality taken before the Courts of law.

The President said it is also up to the Judges in the Courts of law to adjudicate and preside over cases brought before them without any interference. He stated that he knew his powers too well and there is no President world over whose work include cancellation of cases before the Courts of law.

“Allow the Police to do their job. No one is above or below the law – not even myself as Republican President. When a criminal offence has been committed, it is not within the job of the President to override the due process of the law. If you commit and offence, expect the law to take its full course,” said President Lungu.

On his visit to the region, President Lungu said he was in Northern Province to physically inspect developmental projects and to listen and attend to the people’s concerns.

The Head of State warned party and government officials against overstepping their work and boundary.

“If you are a Mayor, stick to your responsibilities. The DCs should do the same. I do not want to hear that you are working chipantepante. We have development to deliver and this is the time to work not in 2021,” he said.

    • Accurately stated “individuals”. Ba Hecky Hecky No! is exactly where he belongs. But I think he should be transported to a psychiatric hospital because the guy is a mental case!

    • There is audio circulating of Amos Chanda giving instructions to that spineless zombia of an IG and Edgar has the audacity to tell us State House does not interfere! What kind of nonsense is this? Who does Edgar take us for?

    • HH is possessed with the demon of destruction and pride. Look at the size of his house! If he is so high and mighty, why have a bunker to hide in?

      Also judging by the video of his wife speaking to Press shows her to be deeply brainwashed by her husband. She looks and sounds like him. And this volcano that she refers to will it erupt out of her husband’s a.ss because Zambians are not interrupting their beer drinking over HH!

    • Oh please, who has asked this aging drunk to intervene?…In his dreams yeah?!.. when he is the master minder and chief instructor to that most incompetent IG to have accidentally roamed the earth on Zambian soil. The two including Amos, and Keizer to the list are the most incompetent drunk beings to walk the corridors of power, and unfortunately, on Zambian soil.

    • @1.11 Nubian princes

      That infected swamp between your legs is affecting your language.

      Daughter of a Bit.ch

    • @1.13 Mana from IMF

      I am proud to be a Bit.ch. You got anything stronger to throw at me? You must be a Maggot to smell infection from so far. Bye!

    • It is the insect and worm infested swamp between the legs of Nubian princess making her itch for HH day and night.

    • That is exactly what I asked last week when Lungu was in Mongu! My question was: Is the President not going to inspect developmental projects in Mongu or Western Province since he is there? Then I realized that there were no developmental projects initiated by the PF government in Western Province! But the Litunga and Inonge Wina are very excited and loves the PF and Lungu as they love themselves. Inonge Wina, you are Lungu’s Deputy, what have got to say on this? Sesheke – Kazungula Highway needs urgent attention but there goes Lungu to Northern Province which he thinks is more important than Western Province! Bantu Bo Twatwe plus two (Southern, Northwestern, Western Provinces plus Central and the Copperbelt Provinces,) wake up and liberate yourselves.

    • All of us will be judged, so threatening others is venture in futility. We can’t stop carrying our duties just because we we shall be judged.

    • Sad how Zambia has been messed up. I was in Namibia doing some consulting work, and one of the guys told me Zambians are regarded as thieves in that country. I told him, “I don`t blame you”. I scared to death to bring back my children to Zambia. Theft, tribalism, no rule of law, name it. What a country.

    • US, EU please enforce international intervention like you did in West Africa. This questionable president needs to be taken to court to answer how he frauduelntly manipulated the system to hold to power.

    • @Nubian Princess ka chinio:
      You Sh.iting Ar.ser will Die with jealous and Envy – HH has a house that he built from his hard work. HH never worked for the Govt and has never used Govt resources!! Your jealous and Envy will send you to your grave early. Your Drunkard President is the thief, in the convicted thief!!
      Your Grand mother and your mother are known common pros.titutes…..you are as good as a latrine, anyone with pr.ik can pi.ss in your extra large var.gina which is full of viruses. Take that sh.it of yours back into your enlarged sme.lly pus.sey!!

    • HH cannot just head towards Namibia, and force his way onto the Namibian side, without stopping at the border checkpoint, and then claim it was not me driving it was my driver.

      While his driver may be given traffic offence charges, HH will answer more serious security breach charges.

      That very act would lead to many charges on HH, because HH is fully responsible for the behaviour of his personal driver.

      So those who joke must stop and think twice, if you think HH has no case, think twice.

    • @Numbia Princess please find her on Facebook she is Bwalya Chileya, she is as black as hell. Please inbox her some juice. She is a lonely dick seeking cant.

    • This kama little diseased president which party put him in forged power and who do these political advisers turned police on the fateful night represent? Mumbi Phiri, who is his whore and deputy secretary general of thr hijacked party issued the public warrant of arrest then his political adviser led the IG to cause destruction at a citizen’ s house now he is an innocent party who will not interfere with the juduciary he has destroyed. Lungu stop behaving like you are smart. All this will catch up. Enjoy your Easter as a christian.

    • Meanwhile we claim to be a Christian country, yet we are so far from God at every level.
      I have always said those fasting and prayer days are vanity
      Theirs no Godliness in Zambia, starting from top to bottom.
      Theirs no God in Zambia and theirs plenty of moral proof to that

  1. And he strolls heads up high like the Presidency is his career, time will come and you will be reminded Zambia is Christian nation

    • What time is that? Christian nation? Lazy will be in Kasama tomorrow in church and you docile sheep will join him.

  2. Well said Your Excellency. Let the law take its course. No cases should be interfered with by anyone, not even yourself. This includes cases of treason and other shenanigans being faced by Kaponya (HH). I’m in the capital to ensure that this minion is hung/beheaded/executed as required by the laws of treason.

    • There is audio circulating of Amos Chanda giving instructions to that spineless zombia of an IG and Edgar has the audacity to tell us State House does not interfere! What kind of nonsense is this? Who does Edgar take us for?

    • only a fooools like you will celebrate this kind of nonsense but remember after edga is done with hh no one else will be safe especially nameless beings like you. in a real democracy such things dont happen my poor foool, the monster being created in edgar will soon be too strong even for its handlers. so you think this is about hh? you wait and see foool

    • TRUE @ 5.2 MULENGA.
      These equally visionless P.F cadre Keyboard warriors who blindly support on a tribal basis, even when wrong is being commited will CRY soon!
      Zanu P.F, supporters saw Mugabe commit heinous crimes against his own citizens, BUT laughed, & joked about the genocide, coz he was only maiming “The Ndebele”
      After Mugabe had finished with, & run out of Ndebele opponents, he turned his wrath on his own Shona tribesmen who years earlier had given him the Green light to state sanctioned brutality, something im seeing develop in Zambia today.
      Today Zimbabweans fill every foreign land, & guess what – The Majority are Shona ex-PF loving supporters.
      PROBLEM IS THE MUGABE GENIE IS NOW TOO BIG TO PUT BACK IN THE BOTTLE!

  3. WHO HAS LONG DAYS OF LIVING ON EARTH? DONT DO THINGS DELIBERATELY IN YOUR OWN MIND AND SAY I SHALL REPENT AT THE LAST MINUTE. PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA ARE ALL CONDEMNING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ( HEB 10:26-27) THE WRATH IS WAITING UPON YOU.

    YOURS ARE FEW DAYS AND NOWONDER YOU THOUGHT PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA WILL SAY LET US MOVE OUT OF ICC. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD HAVE RESIGNED ON THE TWO POINTS. 1. THE REFERENDUM 11. THE ICC MEANING YOU ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY ALL ZAMBIANS. DAYS ARE NUMBERED

  4. How many new farmers are now in northern province because of the PF agricultural diversification programme? How many of those are in animal husbandry? How many jobs have been created through agriculture in the area? What is the estimated yield? These are the answers I hope you are seeking and not road construction? Developmental agenda bane!!!

  5. Arguably, the most incompetent and inconsequential leader that Zambia–and probably, Southern Africa, has offered the world. He who is without vision as self-confessed. With characters such as this, Africa will be developed in 1 million years.

    • “No one is above or below the law – not even myself as Republican President. When a criminal offence has been committed, it is not within the job of the President to override the due process of the law. If you commit and offence, expect the law to take its full course,” said President Lungu.”

      Well then Mr Lungu, you better report to the nearest POLICE STATION and confess to breaking the Constitution that YOU swore to uphold! THREE TIMES!

      Or are you just a drunkard that spews empty words!

  6. Ka Lungu is the real criminal and God will judge him. His sangomas who he is meet in NP will not save him. Kanganja and his fellow criminals already looking worried because they know their days are numbered

  7. It is the National Prosecution Authority and not police which prosecutes if it agrees with the police charges. otherwise NHA drops or changes the charges

  8. HH will not be hanged. There is no treason in what he did. The police were reckless. They were supposed to secure the road for the sake of our beloved President. The offence committed does not amount to treason. Police officers should also be furthering their studies to understand the Law better.

  9. So how was he driven to the airport today? Were there no policemen at every street corner? So where were the police in mongu? Does anyone smell a rat?

  10. Lungu is just a fraud convic thug from chawama.

    Who does not know he directs all police and PF violence ???

    All one can say is we hope he rules Zambia forever because FjT and his camping at high court will be nothing compared to what lungu will face.

  11. Lungu! I would like to inform you that we had powerful presidents before you and stronger than you and they are gone, let me remind you that you are not God neither friend to God one day you will face up. Do whatever you can do but your days are numbered

  12. Bwana Lungu even dictators who often breach rules of civilized governance always cite the laws whenever its suits them.Tell us something else Lungu.

  13. Leave the man alone- we all know everything that goes up must come down . Has he said he will be President for life ????
    i love tough unshakeable men like your President. He is like our Buhari

    • Is Buhari a fraud convict ? Because lungu was convicted of fraud and had his lawyers licsence revoked before he became president ?

  14. How many times has police falsely accused innocent Zambians? Politicians and ordinary people falsely detained end up being saved by the DPP.

    • The DPP never saves anybody. She is part of the harassment mechanism, issuing nolles at the last moment after making people to live at the courts for years.

  15. ALL THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO INTIMIDATE HH TO STOP THE PETITION. WHAT SORT OF PRESIDENT ONLY SAYS SOMETHING ON AIRPORT TARMACS. ZAMBIANS WE ARE COWARDS. THOSE PLANNING FOR LUNGU ALL THESE EVIL SCHEMES ARE CROOKS AND THIEVES WHO ARE AFRAID TO LET LUNGU LOSE THE PETITION CASE BECAUSE HE IS THEIR SHIELD. HH IS INNOCENT AND THE IG SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO CALL A TRAFFIC OFFENSE A TREASONABLE CASE. REALLY LAUGHABLE SHAME ON THE LEARNED PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US. BUT ZAMBIA SHALL BE FREE AND HH WILL RULE. THE PF S BEHAVIOUR HAS MADE HIM MORE POPULAR.

    • That is right.

      HH is showing that he too is ready to sacrifice his freedom for zambians young democracy.

      Lungu is on a wrong plain. No matter what he does HH comes out on top.

      Dammed if he does , dammed if he doesn’t.
      That is the karma for a guilty thug.

  16. There goes the Lazy Bum on a three day working holiday when its Easter…a chance for the utterly lazy thing to pretend to be humble in a church in Kasama and get paid at the same time!!

  17. TRULY AND WELL SAID. NO ONE SHOULD INTERFERE IN THE PROSECUTION PROCESS OF CRIMINALS JUST AS THE CRIMINAL COMMIT OFFENSES AT WILL AND NO ONE STANDS ON THEIR WAY WHEN THEY ARE PLANNING TO COMMIT OFFENSES. THIS ARREST HAS BEEN LONG, LONG. LONG OVERDUE.

  18. Lazy is a funny dull chap ..he says he doesn’t interfere yet silly Kanganja is always at the airport to see him and welcome him like his servant every time he jets out…this why I say we have serious lack of leadership and lack of good governance.

  19. interestingly pipo don’t realize that doing evil to others will one day follow you.I would like to ask these questions and I need answers from those supporting the arrest of HH.
    1 Is he the one(HH) who was driving the vehicle because it says he was obstructing? How many vehicles were on the same convoy ?why haven’t they arrested all those in the convoy?
    2. Is obstructing treason ie overthrowing a government that’s my understandz?
    3. What was the purpose of raiding the house ?even if you don’t like HH pipo this is not correct and fair?
    4. BRE is a let down why have nt they said anything in this ,they are the ones who brought this.
    5.PIpo let us not celebrate this arrest it will being more divisions athan unity.If anything I feel PF are decampagning themselves.
    6. Where were the…

  20. Such a goof of a president. This is not leadership we chipuba iwe. You might look like the main guy for now but time will show you. This ignorance takes you nowhere. Your ignorance will be your greatest fall. Mark our words. Live by the sword, die by the sword. One who uses violence can expect a violent response and outcome; it is better to try to use peaceful means wherever possible. Your time is coming very soon.

  21. Lungu is garbage, I can’t wait to hear that this id!0t is dead. I will piss on his grave. How I miss Mwanawasa. This is the sh!t Sata left Zambia with. I don’t even like HH, but I will not support him. Lungu is trying to became Bashir Al Assad of Africa. They will be blood shed soon in Zambia all because an AIDS infected clueless mofon wants to destroy Zambia. Lungu will not last. Watch.

  22. No one is asking you to intervene. Why would we ask a dictator who is controlling the police to intervene? your intention to have HH arrested has become a reality. So why would we ask you to intervene. You are an illegal president anyway. You only intervene in pardoning child fiddlers like clifford dimba. You are an insecure little man with a lot of anger. Just because you were not received warmly in western province you decide to behave like an angry jealous infant and request police to arrest a man who clearly beat you at the elections. Every dog has its day. Even more popular leaders like chiluba were removed from power. that immunity you think you have will not save you when we finally prove that you stole those elections. You are a risk

  23. Ba Lungu do not harden your heart like that. You don’t know about tomorrow HH is a child of God same like you. This can bring your down fall did you listen to that prophecy by Bushiri? God is more powerful than you. God knows you stole UPND’s Victory and instead you start imprisoning them. It is not nice. Sin blinds.

  24. To e a upnd supporter one needs to drop his cognitive thinking and echoes whatever rubbish their tribal leader says. Secondly you need to sound like you are intelligent but vomits baseless arguments full of bitterness and hate. Can someone challenge me now that they drove side by side with eagle one and refused to park even after e sweeper bumped them to get off the road. If you have done it and nothing happened then hh is equally innocent. For me it’s the first time to see someone driving side by side with the presidential motorcade.

    • Ndanji & @ oval head, clearly we can see that reality of HH being in chuks is really setting in among is cult group. There is nothing constructive coming out of their bloging except spewing insults to who ever blogs to the contrary.
      We really don’t care whether they insult us all the insults in the world but the fact is that HH is suffering and if I was one of his followers I would have toned it down because their insults are not helping at all

  25. You people gat issues…so much time on your hands. Insulting each other, parents and children, including innocent citizens, for what? You cannot be sure of anything in politics. Just be sure that you will all die, some of you won’t even reach HH’s or Edgars’ age. Take this time to do something productive for your selves and families rather than communicating useless insults about unknowns. You’ll remember this time at your final hours, and Zambia will remain. Bazunguz say get a life! Oh oh, lame me just done the same. Care not.

  26. The president has lost it. He seam not to know redeem himself. These are the time when you show the nation that you are president of all, this is the time to show us that he is a humble man as he used to say, this was the best time to win some of the hearts that are not recognizing him, this the time he would have showed us that he does not hate, he is a peaceful man as he has said before. He should know that sometimes when he the president does not act things would get out of hand, and may be costly to everyone including him. I am even thinking I made a mistake voting for him.

  27. IT HATES TO HEAR ALL THESE INSULTS AND HATE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.STOP DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVES. ECL IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS, SO IS HH.LET GOD BE JUDGE.

    • Namibians were kept for years without harassment, today we are thieves?Yes we have problems in governance,but we have reasonable transport, hospitals good electric supply now almost 24hrs many radio and TV stations, we are not at war with our Muslim brothers.You can register a business in less than 5 days without bribing…

  28. Any objective Zambian will tell you that HH asked for this.all Zambians know that HH is very famous in western,southern and n/western JUST LIKE LUNGU OR PF IS POPULAR IN 6.5 PROVINCES.hh had no point to prove in mongu.he could have just celebrated kuomboka and returned to Lusaka in peace.BLOCKING THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE IS ENDANGERING THE PRESIDENT’S LIFE IS CRIMINAL!!!almost all neutral Zambians are blaming HH for doing that in mongu.ALL GOVNT’S MAJOR ROLE IS TO MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER!!IF GOVNT NEVER ARRESTED HH,ZAMBIA SOON COULD HAVE BEEN UNGOVERNABLE!!SO LET THE COURT CLEAR OR CONVICT HH .FOR ONCE ZAMBIANS BE OBJECTIVE PLEASE!!

  29. Way to go ECL!!please never intervene in HH’s case.let the law takes its course.if HH is innocent,a judge will equit him,but if found wanting,let HH be jailed because its these same politicians who make those laws,so they have to obey them(laws)!!AM FULLY CONVINCED THAT IF ITS ANY POOR ZAMBIAN OR ZAMBIANS WHO NEVER GAVE WAY TO THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE IN MONGU,THAT PERSON OR THOSE POOR ZAMBIANS COULD HAVE BEEN HISTORY BY NOW!!!now is that the Zambia you want where only the poor face the law while those with money break the law with impunity?NEVER!!we all equal before the law!!

  30. Sympathisers of UPND, instead of insulting Lungu and condemning his good Christianit, just advise HH that the Bible says obey those in Authority, you will be helping solve this problem.

    But if you will ignore when HH disobeys authority but when police enforce law and order then you complain, you will be helping amplify the problem.

    Romans 13:1-2 says:
    “All if you must obey those who rule over you. There are no authorities except the ones God has chosen. Those who now rule have been chosen by God. So those who opposes the authorities opposes leaders whom God has appointed. Those who do that will be judged.”,

    • Romans 13:4 says:
      “The authorities are God’s servants for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of rath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.”

      So, God expects everyone to honour those in authority, and those in authority to punish wrongdoers.

      So, show such scriptures to HH if he claims he is a Christian.

      In fact it is the pride of refusing to recognize Lungu as president that gave birth to hiim refusing to give way to presidential motorcade.

      But you know pride goes before the fall.

  31. Nothing is hidden under the earth and evil can not prevail over good. You may think you are clever now but God knows your evil deeds. There is no one in their right mind who can say you are not in any way interfering in the operations of the police, your cadres are openly instructing the police we are seeing all this. I don’t subscribe to any party all I know is that you are a president and therefore it calls for you to protect the interests of all Zambians regardless of any political affiliation. Surely if HH committed any offence why not summon him to the police than invading his home disturbing innocent children,wife and other relatives at home worse still breaking things,stealing yet you are the some president who claims to abide by the law. How will you feel if your family was…

  32. Ka lungu, anti you the commander in chief? You are the one who is going to be blamed as , when you will retire, no one is going to recognize you. You will be the most hated president in history, including, your Kaizer, kapyongo you are very young , your future will be /dented, just to please chagwa. You are going nowhere.

  33. Sometimes it is better to say nothing than give away all clues confirmed by your spokesman’s tapped telephone conversation with IG. Always check the opposite of whatever Chagwa says. He has no love in his heart but evil schemes. He does not take criticism or opposing views kindly. He is only in power to feather his nest. He has no agenda for Zambians!

  34. ESPECIALLY THAT THIS EASTER AND YOU WOULD WONDER WHERE THESE PEOPLE (PF) CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS. READ “HEBREWS 10:26-27)

    WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS LIKE THE WAY THE ROMANS SOLDIERS DID TO JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR RAISED UP MIDNIGHT CAUGHT JESUS, MISTREATED HIM TOOK HIM TO HIGH PRIESTS WHO HAD NO POWERS BUT POWERS LIED IN THE HANDS OF THEIR KING HEROD WHO IS LUNGU IN THIS MATTER.

  35. President Lungu and PF have an opportunity to be peace makers. No one died indeed an ofence may have been committed but to what extent.

    • You’re right, the high hinded approach some are supporting has never never benefited any country.On the contrary may bring hardships on the very people government is supposed to help.
      Zimbabwe next door is an example of hard policies bringing poverty on a once prosperous nation. I’m aware though that our mental abilities are different some can’t see the negative consequences ,completely oblivious to harmful effects of these actions

  36. Development begins when no one is above the law. Prosecute him to the hilt. Hillary was facing FBI even the day before elections. What of Zuma, Fillon, Sarkozy, Clinton, Chiluba, Kaunda, Banda and Sata, didn’t they face the law and the Justice system? What is special about Hyena? phew!!! If it breaks his perverted Presidential ambition, so be it.

    At the same time in a nation of laws and not men, arrest all those eating mbeba and kolwe without obtaining license for these tasty Government trophies. Why just concerned with hyena and mukula tree?

  37. God send the holy spirit to ECL and those who surround him. Let them see with their eyes let them hear with their ears. Help them tell the truth and have a heart for their neighbours. Let them wash the feet of the governed as your son Jesus did. Remind Lord of the love you have for them and all the Zambians. Show them the light. IN GOD WE TRUST
