THE European Union (EU) has maintained that it recognises President Lungu as the legitimately elected head of State and has urged all political players in the country to respect State institutions.

EU head of delegation to Zambia Alessandro Mariani said during a meeting with President Lungu at State House yesterday that political players, including political parties should to do their best to maintain harmony and not raise tension in the country.

Special assistant to the President for press and public relations Amos Chanda told journalists after the meeting that Mr Mariani was accompanied by seven other EU delegates.
“Mr Mariani said political players must try to bring all partners to a negotiating table on matters of national importance,” he said.

Mr Chanda said President Lungu and the EU delegation discussed a wide range of issues of common interest to both parties.

He said the EU delegation called for dialogue between the Patriotic Front and United Party for National Development (UPND) as the main political parties in Zambia.

Mr Chanda said the EU delegates emphasised that as friends of Zambia, they have the duty to bring to the attention of the President matters they think can damage the reputation of the country.

He said President Lungu regretted that some political players are engaging in activities aimed at damaging Zambia’s reputation and urged such people to stop doing so.

Mr Chanda said the EU delegates also talked about the arrest of UNPD leader Hakainde Hichilema but President Lungu told them that the matter could not be discussed much as it is in court and assured the delegation that the due process of the law would take its course.

“He made mention that discussing the matter would be endangering the independence of the judiciary,” Mr Chanda said.

And Mr Chanda said President Lungu assured the delegation of his readiness to dialogue with any persons on issues of national interest.

Meanwhile, Republican President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has stated that Zambia attaches great importance to its bilateral relations with Swaziland, which are based on mutual respect and shared goals on national and regional development.

The President said this at State House yesterday when he received a Special Envoy to His Royal Highness King Mswati III, Prince Hlangusemphi, Minister of Economic Planning and Development of the Kingdom of Swaziland who delivered a special message from the King.

President Lungu recalled the fruitful bilateral discussions he held with His Royal Highness King Mswati III on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on Africa held earlier this month in Durban, South Africa.

The President reaffirmed Zambia’s commitment to the consolidation of existing bilateral relations with Swaziland, as well as the enhancement of cooperation at both bilateral and multilateral levels.

He commended King Mswati III for his sterling leadership of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), in his capacity as Chairperson, and affirmed Zambia’s support of his Royal Highness’s tenure as chairperson of the regional body.

The President stated that Swaziland can count on Zambia’s continued support at the SADC and other multilateral fora.

The President described Swaziland as a strategic partner for Zambia hence the country will continue to value the close relations with Swaziland.

The President also discussed a broad range of issues pertaining to regional peace and security and called for greater integration of the SADC region.

And In his Special message to the President, King Mswati III invited President Lungu for a State Visit to Swaziland in July this year.

The King stated that among the issues to be discussed during the State Visit include: bilateral cooperation, business opportunities and capacity building.

“Zambia attaches great importance to its bilateral relations with Swaziland, which are based on mutual respect and shared goals on national and regional development” President Lungu said

  1. Good counsel from EU head..We certainly need Harmony in our beloved Nation.This starts by a sense of respect for those in authority

    • The EU recognises EL as legitimately elected then ?

      What was the other disgruntled none ties that weren’t happy ?

      I’m the seeker of truth and justice and I mentioned on ignoring this EU.

      The U.K. Want none of it. Germans want none of it soon.

      I am now a PhD holder at 27.

      Thanks

    • That is Anus Chanda’s spin. If it is true why didn’t the ambassadors go to see HH in prison and plead with him to recognise Lungu? Why should they see Lungu just to give him messages of support? Total lies from State House!

    • Every one must respect ther law even the EU. There’s no way hh should be released. Ever since he was locked up there’s so much peace in the country.

    • Who said Lungu is not president?
      HH and UPND only wanted the courts to hear why ECZ allowed so much mistakes.
      PF is in mess, what Amos Chanda is lying is like trying to wash insults on EU Parliament from Kelvin Bwalya yesterday.

    • When it comes from Amos Chanda, don’t believe it. This is a contradiction from what the EU parliament agreed on. I see lies here.

    • Yesterday, when the manifestation from the EU was published, the majority of you even suggested it was from a lobby group. The main key point here is that that manifestation was truly from EU, and EU is not afraid to tell ECL that they are concerned with the political situation in Zambia and particularly arrest of HH. This is key to note. The fact that Chanda is telling us that “EU has maintained that it recognises President Lungu” that is his own spin, I wouldn’t focus much on that statement. What is important is that EU had an agenda, and their emphasis for political parties to have a dialogue, they were specific to even talk about HH arrest, but as usual the guilt are afraid to talk the truth. In any case, the usual dunderheads have taken out just one sentence from Chanda and they…

    • In any case, the usual dunderheads have taken out just one sentence from Chanda and they are up again propagating their ignorance and lack of analytic skills

    • I don’t know why people fight about what EU said or not. Is there anything thats not factual in article? Every single statement in article can be attributed to someone & can be tested against what is actually pertaining. As a country we need to rediscover what unites us. Everyday we speak about what divides us & the media is the biggest culprit in worsening situation. Hate & division can never be anchor for success or anything including leadership. Let’s practice LOVE we had for each other as Zambians before these politicians tear us apart for selfish ergos. God Bless Zambia!

    • Respect is earned not forced. Recognition which is respect goes beyond making public statements. Let Lungu prove he won through an impartial court and everyone will recognise him. HH will be the first one but must be through an impartial court. Everyone saw that those elections were fraudulent and almost everything about them was wrong

    • AMAZING CHRISTIAN NATION, EASTER MINISTERS CELEBRATE ARREST OF LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. YOU EXPECT YOUR CHILDREN, IN-LAWS AND NEIGHBOURS TO RESPECT YOU FOR BEING PAID BY THE TAX PAYER FOR PROMOTING HATE?

      Ministers celebrate arrest of HH
      By Darius Phiri on April 12, 2017

      Kaizer, Kampyongo, Mulusa & Chanda toast arrest of HH

      DISGRACED State House Aide Kaizer Zulu his counterpart Amos Chanda, Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo and Minister in-charge of National Development Planning Lucky Mulusa on Tuesday night celebrated the arrest of UPND President Hakainde Hichilema in style at a pub on 8 Reedbuck road in Kabulonga.

      The four senior PF officials took turns boasting how they had made sure they had fixed the opposition leader and how they were controlling state…

    • As usual Ka chakolwa lungu is proving to be a visionless and stubborn mistake of a Zambian president.

      The EU has acknowledged PF and Lungu ‘s stupidity in handling democracy. They start with soft power and when it fails , they then react with vigor.

      So ka lungu be careful, the EU is coming for you soon.

      Lungu is a miserable ,merciless cold blood killer and deserves to removed.

      FREE HH.

    • A Treason-Happy Monster President in Zambia’s State House?

      By Anonymous Doctoral Candidate

      Edgar Lungu will never grow up as the statesman many accidental and politicians aspire towards. Even in increasingly inconsequential travels abroad among dictatorships and democracies alike, Edgar Lungu will remain an overinflated but irrelevant leader, unable to internalize the etiquette of presidential decorum, and will, forever, be without a vision for Zambia as he once self-confessed.

      All his contrived or phony self-imposed modesty keep deserting him day in and day out. He has sought attention and adoration in opposition constituencies such as in Western Province, and among fair-minded Zambians but has received none. His illegitimacy will not fade away.
      In many ways, Edgar Lungu is a…

    • So Mwamba was master minding the arrest of HH?
      Natuka chita ka cikala…kalemona kwati ni ka President nako. In fact Ba (kakoma) Kankanja is very weak if I didn’t direct him upto now that ka cikala would still be enjoying the comfort of his house,” Kaiser Zulu was heard bragging before Kampyongo interjected,
      “Awe kachepa sana. We are in charge …we are serious operatives. In fact kulefwayika fye kafwile mu jele. Ni mweba Amos you are too soft this should have been done immediately we came from Mongu,” said Kampyongo.
      However Chanda who was seemingly concerned about the media backlash said he had already instructed the public media to stop any form of coverage.
      “We need to manage what comes out of the media…otherwise abantu must not be fed on this ka HH. We discussed naba Mwamba how we…

    • Why do you say that. The EU are subtly endorsing EL right here.

      Actions speak louder than words and pictures don’t lie

      Thanks

    • It’s PhD which I did for years.

      There is no need to assassinate my good standing name on here where I’m respected

      Thanks

      BB2014,2016

    • Buck Teeth Lungu. You are right. I think this Mushota is a PHD holder in erections. I can’t reason why any well meaning Zambia can support what lungu is doing. He has damaged Zambia’s international image and become the first candidate for the Hague. A wrong is a wrong. All lungu had to do is take proof to court and show he won without any delays or dodging tricks. People would recognise him without making public statements. Recognition is beyond a public statement. Can someone explain that lungu. Let him not fear the truth and face it in a proper way – impartial court

  2. This is the right time to jail HH. I can’t wait for this case to start.

    Treason is a dangerous case and I hope all HH supporters have checked the definition of it according to Zambian law.

    I also as a concerned Zambian citizen would like to know the role HH played in the privatization of the mines. And if he is find wanting he should not even try to contest for the presidency. Thieves should not stand for pregnancy.

    He has caused untold suffering because of the role he played on the privatization. The blood of mines and their tears are on him. He will never be a president of Zambia.

    • As “a concerned citizen” you should be concerned that your idyotic leaders have been sitting on the evidence of HH’s supposed wrongdoing during privatisation for 6 years now. They have failed to bring out any evidence, even Sata’s fake Finance Bank accounts, to arrest HH and have to rely on a traffic misdemeanour instead. Is it stoopidity that you know nothing?

    • Raise your argument not your voice. I will take him to court HH because I want him to tell me his role in the privatization of mines.

      That would bring me to the source of money to build up the businesses he has. I will then have an opportunity to know his background check with regard to his claimed riches.

      We deserve to know the truth about the type of candidates we have. Lack of background check of candidates makes us having presidential candidates from Malawi and other countries.

      We need the truth now.

    • The Treason case already ended since your same state entered a Nolle on the very issue that it was predicated on which part of this don’t you understand…..Treason is only still there because the lazy DPP is yet to commit it to the high court a technicality being abused by the state of which the president is boss. By Chagwa calling the DPP for a meeting and simply challenging her if she has sufficient evidence to nail this case is not interference in the court process if the DPP cannot show to the presido that she can nail the case as has been proven in the lower court he can ask her to reconsider continuing with the case this in it self is not interference with the courts. He stopped the ZCCM-IH case from proceeding and he now thinks EU are fools like Mushoteni with PHD.

    • @3 DJ Dene.
      Before his illness took over, late President Sata had one impeccable attribute. To seek to do the right thing, come what may, without fear or favour. That is why he was nicknamed ‘KING COBRA’. His fearlessness and unorthodox approach changed each Govt Ministry he was given, e.g. Ministry of Health, Ministry of Local Govt & Housing etc… for the better.
      GBM was one of the main funders of Ba Sata’s formation of Patriotic Front- PF, but when GBM was reported to have physically abused his own wife, we are all aware Ba Sata did not spare him either, but meted appropriate punishment on GBM.
      King Cobra spared no one. Ask RB -MMD.

      Now, for you to suggest that HH stole from the Mines privatisation, and that KING COBRA was not equal to the task because he found no admissible…

    • Cont’d.. no admissible evidence with which to prosecute HH, is naïve and deeply deeply insulting on late President’s character, and hurtful to HH. You, my friend are truly a moron. (please check the word ‘moron’ in a Medical Dictionary).

    • Do u understand what is called “circumstantial evidence”?

      I’m sure HH is in for a big sh***t this time around.

      The wife should start looking for a replacement

    • Next it will be DJ Dene, they will lock you up and look for a case against you while you enjoy negative 5 star facilities at Chmboks. Be careful what you wish others.

  3. President Lungu is the legitimate President of Zambia what else does the donkey hh want? The grade one pupils were asked “Is 6.5 great than 3.5”? All but one said 6.5 and the other one was asked not to proceed to grade two but he protested. I hope you understand the logic.

  4. As long as HH does not recognise Lungu as president of Zambia HH will continue to disrespect the president. So harmony is cardinal in the country. Upnd caders call HH president HH but you never hear call president Lungu President they call him Lungu. This is because their Upnd boss and his friends disrespect by calling him whatever they want. The incident which happened on the Mongu road was unacceptable and if really it happened in other countries he was supposed to be shot. We have to respect the presidency. One day president Lungu will leave another will come and you will need to respect your man. Shame on you. ECL should be respected. EU should meet also Upnd and tell them to respect the president to attend the opening of Parliament sittings.

    • What recognition are you people crying for? You sound very inadequate without HH’s recognition. Did you really win the last election or we were supposed to go for a rerun and you hijacked instead? This constant cry for recognition is very childish. Defeating in someone’s yard and destroying someone’s property won’t get you the recognition you want. In fact many sane Zambians have come to recognize Chagwa’s administration as highly illegitimate, indisciplined, disorganized, corrupt and visionless! In short we are not convinced that this administration has Zambia’s best interests at heart. Many of us who voted for Lungu feel let down and have stopped recognizing! What are you going to do to half of the population that does not recognize you? The Hate PF habours is a fire that will…

  5. Hh will b released but could be re-arrested as soon as he walks out and slap him with a new fake charge….apunzile mambala…wenyo HH Ali mu jele at ni ba president

  6. The EU representatives have spoken well. Compare this wise counsel to the nonsense uttered by the small lobbyist faction of the EU parliament few days ago, which Kaponya (HH) UPND minions through Fred Member sponsored.
    The truth remains that (HH) Kaponya is a low life heathen and worthless scum with a very poor upbringing who fails to recognize authority. Zambia has at last seen peace with this village thug behind bars.

    • Does HH mean well for Zambia?

      What type of democratic leader rules his cult UPND like a dictator without going for a convention?
      Which true patriotic leader goes around discouraging investors from coming to Zambia, simply because the people rejected him?
      What type of a leader disunites the country by spreading lies and malice with the help of his nephew Lloyd Himambo at Zambian Witch Doctor?
      What true leader will encourage his spear throwing thugs to burn down government buildings?
      What type of pathetic leader goes around telling his clan to refer to the Republican President as Lungu?
      What type of a leader misleads his following that there’s an active case in court when his petition was thrown out?

      Fellow Zambians, we cannot allow ourselves to make the worst mistake by…

  7. Whether these upnd donkeys accept or not ecl is our president. Did EU delegates to chimbokaila or state house. Donald tree is heading for impeachment after his trip and this is the guy hata hatombwe is depending on.

  8. Turkey a member of EU and NATO has detained thousands of opposition members and EU have not done anything about it . Our law allows the accused to prove their innocence before the courts of law not before Edgar Lungu or any other person. HH

    • @ndanje khakis,
      Turkey is NOT a member of EU, stop misleading others. Turkey is a member of NATO but not EU.
      Accession negotiations with Turkey to EU started in 2005 but never concluded until Turkey agreement to an Association Agreement with Cyprus. They were almost about to conclude the agreement, however, the negotiations were STOPPED after Turkey crackdown on the opposition after that failed coup attempt.

      So EU did intervene in Turkey, the same way they are doing in Zambia.

    • I have been looking at the names of countries in the EU and unfortunately Turkey is not one of them ndanje.

  9. HH has been fully accorded lawyers and time to prove his innocence and so far he’d won two cases

  10. Never mind Amos Chanda’s Propaganda. Its good to see that the 7 EU ambassadors told Lungu that HH must be released from Jail unconditionally and Dialogue on the Petition Hearing must begin. Lungu was given the EU Parliament Resolution which seeks among other things to investigate HH’s mistreatment and torture while in Prison. After a long sleep its encouraging to see that SADC thru its Chairman,Swaziland is now engaged in the Zambian Electoral Dispute. The Swaziland Envoy must have told Lungu to release HH unconditionally and begin Dialogue and the process of Hearing the Petition. Its nonsensical for Lungu to insist that HH must recognize him as Legitimate President when the Petition has not been heard and the Court has not yet declared the Winner of the 2016 Election. Like we said b4…

  11. PF is amazing. On one hand they tell EU to go to hell and now they spin another lie that EU recognizes the Recognition. Talk of a house divided against itself. Can that house stand?

  12. Whatever Amos Chanda says just know the opposite is true. Both EU and SADC told Dictator Lungu to release HH unconditionally and start the process of Dialogue. AU and SADC will now seek to resolve the Election Dispute. The Petition must be heard by an Impartial Court and that Court will declare a way forward. Its good to see that SADC is finally engaged in the Disputed and Petitioned 2016 Zambian Election. Hearing the Petition is the only way to bring peace to our Nation. Thumps up to EU and SADC!!

  13. Amos Chanda has not told the truth the EU does not operate like that let them finish their probing of Lungu and PF then they will be embarrassed, Chanda is not a good spin Doctor don’t believe his lies.

  14. @1.2 Buck teeth, you ask why EU did not visit HH in correction? That is a no brainer unless you are a donkey and you overrate your HH. The answer is that EU does not recognise HH as the President of Zambia, it is Edgar Chagwa Lungu who they certified to be legitimately elected. Other reasons are that
    1. EU has not been invited to mediate between government and HH, even if they wanted to, THE President has to give them clearance to mediate.
    2. The EU are not at liberty to visit HH in correction due to diplomatic etiquette as Zambia is a sovereign nation, THE President has to give clearance and as at now the EU ambassadors have no need to visit HH, what for?
    3. You see, everything including dialogue has to start from somewhere, in this case the starting point is THE President of the…

  15. The incidence in Mongu was due to poor planning by your corrupt pf police thugs. You don’t need to have
    PhD like Mushota to differentiate between lies and truth. Amos Chanda can never tell the truth for fear of
    his corrupt boss.

    • Only a senseless person can say what you have just said.

      Was it poor planning for HH and all his supporters to stood up and leave when ECL was called to speak?

      HH planned everything and what he wanted was to be arrested so as to expose zambia as if there is no democracy.

      If it was poor planning, Then HH could have stoped and give way to the president because this is what the law demands.

      HH didn’t stop because he sees himself as a president of Zambia not president of the opposition political party.

      Treason is a right case for him and I’m happy.

  16. @11 we know that your name is not Zulu but Syazulu. We are not aware that EU instructed President Lungu to release HH unconditionally, that is beneath the level of thinking of EU ambassadors whom you must respect. The release of HH is all in your imagination, not everybody thinks much of your HH. The British, EU etc clearly think that he is an ill mannered reckless selfish person who should not be allowed to bring disrepute to Zambia. In truth and effect the message from EU to HH and his donkeys is that Zambia has a President and HH therefore can only dialogue through the President.

  17. The other EU for yesterday are war mongers, criminals of the highest order .they are neither for HH , the rule of law, peace for Zambian people nor Democracy. Careful with suchlike ones the can throw our Zambia into mwamoneni.

  18. The EU delegation has been instructed and directed to deliver strict guidelines to Lungu. Furthermore, Europeans are capitalists and, they are interested in protecting their interests indefinitely within the Zambia and the African sub-continent. The EU delegation is not concerned about the PF or Lungu. Their primary and principal area of focus is money. The EU delegation will not be lectured by the PF or Lungu, but the opposite is true. The EU delegation will not mince their words and, they will put it to Lungu that his clumsy and useless political maneuvers in relation to the arrest of HH must be undone immediately. Investors are withholding and withdrawing their investments and, the capital freight out of Zambia is increasing at any alarming rate.

  19. The EU delegation cannot behave like certain ordinary Zambians and PF members who compete for Lungu’s attention. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing which can cause them to beg Lungu. They do not have to implore Lungu in order for him to take them seriously and, he is ware that the PF’s seemingly tough responses to people with dissenting views has no impact on the EU community and investors. Lungu and his disciples know very well that they do not have their own source of income other than begging and misappropriating taxpayers money. The PF cannot sustain itself, thus, there is no reasonable person who can entertain the thought that none PF members can beg Lungu. When people who do not belong the PF listen to Lungu, they simply express their dignity which is foreign to him and the PF

  20. In 1884 Europeans met in Berlin to partition Africa and colonise its territory. It is appalling that 130 years later in 2017, ancestors of those that brutalised and colonised Africa are again meeting to disrespect the sovereignty of Zambia. The EU parliament should start by discussing reparations for colonisation and brutality during the 400 years of slavery.

  21. Spaka like lilo said “tell Lungu to let the petition be heard”.AMAZING!!!Is president Edgar Lungu a Zambian constitution now?or is it ECL to remove the 14 days time frame in the constitution?WHY DOES UPND COMPLETELY IGNORES THE 14 DAYS PERIOD IN THE CONSTITUTION?IS THAT UPND HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANY CONSTITUTION HENCE ALLOWING HH TO BE THEIR LEADER FOR MORE THAN 11 YRS MINUS A CONVENTION AGAINST THEIR CONSTITUTION TOO?
    anyway,the EU delegation has told all dreamers in upnd that ECL is the Zambian president until 2021.plus bravo to ECL for remaining firm on HH’s case in court.indeed let the law take its course!!!
    Dialogue will only be there with other politicians who recognize Edgar Lungu as Zambian president!!

  22. Recognize ECL has president and then come for a discussion.

    It becomes difficult to discuss any important issue if there is no supreme leader.
    This reminds me of the difficult we have discussing with Muslims because they don’t a supreme leader for all

    Maybe HH is Muslim or he has Muslim spirituality.

  23. When upnd was campaigning vigorously with the Sarah Longwes and co. that the constitution should be enacted before elections, they thought ECL can’t hit 50+1 and that they would use that as their trump card. Their 1diotic advisors always think they are cleverer than Zambians and failed to analyse the petition’s 14 day time limit. When ECL hit 50+1, it was too late for the donkeys to strategies for the eventuality hence resorting to underhand tactics-IT IS UTTER S.T.U.PIDITY FOR THE UPND TO COMPLAIN THAT THE PETITION WAS NOT HEARD WHEN THEY WERE PART AND PARCEL OF THE BOTH THE CRC AND THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE THAT PASSED THE CONSTITUTION IN PARLIAMENT. THEY KNEW OF THE 14 DAY LIMIT EVEN BEFORE THE PUBLIC WERE PRIVY TO THIS INFO.

  24. Amos as usual is lying. These EU Envoys handed over to Lungu a scathing Resolution from the EU Parliament on Zambia. EU has demanded that HH be unconditionally released from Jail becoz the Treason charges are trumped up and Lungu is interfering with the Courts on this matter. The Envoys want the Petition heard and disposef off by an impartial Court. EU wants to investigate HH’s mistreatment and Torture while in Prison. Lungu was told by the Envoys that Zambia is in this mess becoz he Lungu interfered with Concourt ln the Petition Hearing process and as Result the Petition remains to be heard in Court. Without disposing off the Petition EU is questioning Lungu’s Legitimacy. #Release HH unconditionally and let the Petition be heard in an impartial Court.

  25. What do you want….just say you are after our minerals full stop…EU don’t mean well…Zambia is an independent state

    • What minerals , you have leftover mines left to the Chinese and Indians to buy at toilet paper prices.

  26. i think these UPND & their supporters live in their own world, apart from Zambia. which petition do they always talk about? as every learned zambian knows is that there is no petition in any Zambian courts but what is in the high court is to determine whether their rights were violated when the petition was thrown out due to elapse of 14 days. but UPND is capitalizing on the ignorance of most its supporters who keeping on saying let the petition be heard.

  28. @mushota stop quizzing and sizzling us just give me your email I travel to Scottland tomorrow to get a one day PHD at twenty seven as well. Smell the coffee and stop dreaming sweetheart. Wake up from your slumber you are no better that a grade nine (form two) drop out. Ati PHD………..Ati I hate Zambians………..ait I love whites…………..but what you got down there is pure authenticated black ……….negro…………..African…………..mulato…….even when you scratch it sounds alike an African scratch…..just try it.

  29. Respect is earned not forced. Recognition which is respect goes beyond making public statements. Let Lungu prove he won through an impartial court and everyone will recognise him. HH will be the first one but must be through an impartial court. Everyone saw that those elections were fraudulent and almost everything about them was wrong

  30. @True Zambian you are living in dreamland whilst in reality ECL is President and you ka god HH is in jail. Please wake up very soon it will be 2021 !

  31. We have really lost our democracy in the past 2years. Sata shouldnt have died. His death brought political violence within the PF itsel first then later with other partiesf.God help this nation. I had confidence in former father Bwalya being there in PF since he experienced imjustice by PF on him but hes become a disgrace may be cos hes nolonger a father.20years into our democracy its like we have gone back even Kaunda error was better.I nolpnger watch ZNBC.As a tax payer I feel bad.

  32. If EU is happy and not concerned with what is happening in our country why did they have to come to our Country then? Chanda is lying. They have come because ECL is abusing power and becoming a dicutator. He wants to turn Zambia into Zimbabwe.

  33. EU is racist. In which way is it correct to go to a country head and engage him on a court case? It’s a unsubtle way of saying HH is arrested for Presidents pleasure. They need to stop pointing accusing fingers and understand we are educated enough to run our country and our Judges only studied Law in their countries in the first place! They are capable of doing their job.

  34. LT has evidently been invaded by cult-like HH worshippers. My own observation is that UPND bloggers like Buck Teeth Lungu, Nostradamus, Maloza, etc. will never accept ECL as the legitimately elected president of Zambia despite all evidence to the contrary. This is most tragic because despite these blogger’s views, insults, and opinions nothing will never change this ineluctable reality. In an ironic way, I feel sorry for these guys because they seem not have overcome their loss last year and are still in some form of endless mourning. Instead of this endless mourning, why not spend your time more productively, planning and and strategizing for the 2021 elections to get rid of the party you detest so much?

  35. The EU MPs’ resolution is the clearest indication that the PF-MMD alliance is a bad political strategy and the earlier President Lungu reorganizes his Cabinet, starting with Minister of Finance the better for the PF Government. The resolution by the EU MPs’ are definitely going to be conditions the IMF will include in the so called Mutati Zambia Plus which is now going nowhere slowly. It is also important for PF to recognize the fact that the resolution was essentially a legal note that also triggers Zambia on the ICC list as can be noted from the observation of the PF Government’s efforts to withdraw membership. The bad publicity the country is receiving in terms of dwindling democratic credentials is not good for economic development and stability.
