Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda says the report was based on the meeting that Mrs. Scotland had with Mr. Hichilema.
Mr. Chanda told Journalists in Lusaka that at the right time the visiting Secretary General of the Commonwealth will brief the media on her visit to Zambia.
Mrs. Scotland is in Zambia for a series of meetings with various players regarding issues of promoting gender equality and peace among others.
Yesterday, Ms Scotland visited incarcerated United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema.
President Lungu’s Press aide Amos Chanda told journalists after the meeting between Mr Lungu and Ms Scotland that the secretary general informed the President that she would be proceeding to Mukobeko Prison in Kabwe.
Mr Chanda said the President encouraged her to do so.
Secretary General is a confused woman. Ask her to leave!
If HH sells his recognition of an illegal election for his freedom from prison then he’s not worthy of a leader. No on should ever waste a vote on him. You cannot compromise your principles for temporary freedom.
He should learn from Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, and Kwame Nkhruma who chose death over temporary freedom. Nelson Mandela served almost 30 years in what he believed.
@Nubian Princess
I agree with you…this woman is running around in circles like a headless chicken
…comfused….back and forth….
Anyway
2021 Vote PF (Edgar)
I thank you
@Nubian Pr(incest)
You need to be serious, no being silly and childish every time. Are you normal?
It’s called an investigation..sorry folks this is not the Zambian way where people get wrongly charged…The golden teeth Lungu thinks it’s over she will return back sorry baba…there is more to what’s going on….it’s going to be over soon…just watch what will happen….
So what exactly are you afraid of @Nubian biatch, @Lombe and @Katondo boys?? Scared of your own shadows? Scared of the truth??
Let us be motivated by ideals beyond our hungry bellies instead of speaking through our arses.
Clearly the visit by this Commonwealth fimofimo does not sit well with you because your selfish interests are on the line.
Yes it is happening HH will be released in the coming weeks most likely.
The word is he has agreed to all terms set by the State and will issue a public apology once released! The poor man was being used all along by selfish and cowardly UPND members
Let peace reign. 2021 is coming if he feels he can do it let him stand as President but I know he has learnt that in his own circle that is were the true war is. Truth is he has been let down by his so called supporters – heartless cadres who can’t even spend an ngwee to pay for HH’s kid’s school fees let alone buy a bag of mealie meal for HH’s household- very stingy cretins these UPND guys are, very selfish to use HH this way, SHAME!!!!!SHAME!!!!!!SHAME!!!!!
Let peace reign!
You think HH came into politics broke like lungu only to steal ?? HH does not need a ngwee from anybody infact UPND needs HH.
Time alone will tell
Why is 2020 vision’s aunt checking out the sec general’s booty?
She is a good solicitor (lawyer) and deserves respect. Above all, she may also be representing the UK.
SHE IS TRYING HER BEST TO PUMP SOME SENSE IN POOR HH
================================
Madam Kindly tell HH that Dr. GBM, GUY, NEVERS, KATUKA, VJ and other malfunctioning surrogates and supporters are having a sip of some hot coffee with vanilla biscuits on the chills of the cold whether while he was coming to terms with how cold jail cells can become in July and August. With an almost one year anniversary in penitentiary shouldn’t he be coming to terms with the obvious? The fact that life goes on with or without him. Sick cha.ps call Zambians docile, I call Zambians elite and smart. We don’t sympathize let alone empathize with attention seekers. By and large, when you error, the judicial and natural justice of life should catch up with y’all.
Damn, I meant weather.
Mrs Scotland unlike someone we know is a respected Barrister of a Kingdom that has respect for human rights and the rule of law .The very fact that she (Scotland) has been to see HH for the second time points to the fact that she has cut through what Lungu’s government presented and lied to her and compared it with what HH has said and has found a lot gaps that needs to be filled .To be brutally honest , Lungu is running the country using intimidation tactics .These are characteristics of cowards who are scared of fights fought using wits and minds .
For who have eyes , it is a fact that in a civilised nation , Lungu cannot pass a proper persons test because of his past and would therefore not qualify to be president . Alas! Zambia has gone to the dogs and Lungu is what he is today…
@umuswema Actually this so called confused woman is the former Attorney General of the UK! Says a lot about her pedigree -in my view!
Spaka like Linyo is the new Wanzelu AKA Larry Mwitwa Himambo, spamming the entire blog thinking his pathetic rants will get the brute Ape Akainde out of Mukobeko. These Under 5s will get the shock of their lives come 14th August. Spaka don’t spam the blog claiming Akainde is sacrificing himself for democracy. You chimps are so deranged.
We all know Akainde is not for the people. We know cheap politicians when we see them. A cheap privatization thief like Akainde.
By the way, how did the mighty richest elite Akainde get dribbled by a humble lawyer from Chawama? Spaka will soon hug a transformer like the retarded Chikalyata and NEZ

Finally LT got the facts right after being caught pants down.
Lady Scotland is here on a serious fact finding mission to compile a report on whether Zambia should be expelled from the commonwealth or not because of Lungu ‘s dictatorship and illegal occupation of presidencial office.
Nkhani yalula ka. Amos and Kaiser balimuchibe for advising Lungu wrongly.
The secretary general wants Lungu to release HH without conditions so that election petition matter in court can be dealt with fairly without intimidation of the judges or opposition lawyers..
Lungu and his thugs bayopa ati HH has strong evidence to nullify the presidencial results if the courts can be left to do their jobs without PF threats.
Mwaliteta et al were acquited ,but lets wait and see if this was done to…
Mwaliteta et al were acquited ,but lets wait and see if this was done to appease Lady Scotland or not. If they remain free after she leaves Zambia then thats a cause for celebration.
I believe had it not been for lady scotland
Mwaliteta et al would still be languishing in jail.
Free HH now or else.
its your papa who is confused…
LT at it again…! You did not comment 12 released UPND supports and neither did you write a full report on the case regarding STOLEN VOTER BOXES by UPND supporters… NO STORY, but you keep hammering on HH and his arrest, why?
Nubian Princess you are evil and not christian from the way you are blabbing.What is wrong with the lady’s visit to Mukobeko ?
These days’ abuse of power can lead a President e locked up after his tenure, Lungu should be careful because all those advising him to punish HH will run away from him and join which ever parties of the day. Zambian MPs and Ministers in PF government are evil. They think with their bellies not Heads. See what happened to Charles Taylor of Liberia or Laurent Gbagbo?? They are all locked up. No one is above the law these days, therefore these investigations can work against Lungu. He should not lie that he does not intervene with the Justice system or the Police. Actually I would love to See the IG sued because he is the one who failed on that day. It’s a shame and embarrassing.
A woman pumping sense in people’s head
Lungu is thoroughly discredited. He should just go back to being a street huckster. He is not fit to be President. Only in a Banana Republic like Venezuela can he be a President. Zambians deserve better.
If HH and his team admits that boma ni boma, I have no problem.
Low life, grow up. Why do you celebrate this stupidity going on in Zambia? Do you find incarcerating someone on fake charges normal and enjoyable?
This woman is the former attorney general of England who understands legal procedures 100%, and knows raising of hands cannot be used to nominate a Presidential candidate.
@Lipkwa, I am sorry I have just offended you. Your Boss has to face a camera and say ‘I am sorry’ simple. What happened in Mongu was an insult to the King as well as to the public. No doubt the spirit of Kuomboka was affected by HH and his team. Let us be honest.
@Vn! you are such an illiterate villager.
@Vn
LOL – You are talking about being honest? The YouTube clips of the Mongu event FAILED to prove a lesser charge of a traffic offence. As a result the case collapsed. And yet you are still counting on the same YouTube clips to prove a higher allegation i.e. Treason Case?
@BRABUS, I must be honest with you. I find it hard to reward or defend bad behavior. He misbehaved and the remedy is a simple ‘sorry’. The public will understand. Fyamapolitics.
@Vn,
Sorry for what offence exactly? LOL – Clearly you my friend are ‘arguing from ignorance’. Why are you avoiding answering the points I have made?
If you are serious in your quest for honesty and you mean well, can you at least look at the YouTube video clips and can pin point, in your opinion, at what stage what offence occurs?. The State prosecutors in the past cases related to the same Mongu event failed to do so, and their cases collapsed for lack of evidence.
Lungu himself is saying that the only treason committed by HH is not to recognise Lungu as having won the election. Clearly HH never declared himself President of Zambia in Mongu. There was no treason committed in Mongu. And Lungu is not a King. He is just a thug from Chawama. He is abusing the law to jail opponents for no reason, just like he jailed Mwaliteta for one year for nothing.
Interesting development. HH is getting important visitors. I wonder how PF really feels about this.
This is something that NGO’s and the Women in zambia should be doing. But they are all compromised.
June mu jail. tefintu.
Incarcerating this HH guy was a huge blunder by PF, tantamount to scoring an own goal! This guy could have long been forgotten by now, instead you give him the international stage and limelight; now he is being treated like a national trophy by the international community and as an only saviour by his supporters (and trust me they may be silent but they are many – 49% of zambians). This is what happens when people reason emotionally to prove a point. You have scored an own penalty guys, you have turned this man into a hero. Smh
PF govt is being embarrassed day in and day out because of employing grade 7s as the political adviser?
SG Patricia Scotland is a renowned lawyer and former Attorney General of the UK so she is a fundi at law. Petition Hearing processes and procedures have come up and Lungu’s grade 12 Advisers are being given free law lessons. The SG will insist that the Petition be heard by an Independent Tribunal. If education is expensive try ignorance!
NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO RIG THINK TWICE, LET THE LADY SUPERVISE THEM ON DEMOCRATIC VALUES AND BRING AN END TO THESE MONKEY GAMES. THE WEST CANT AFFORD ANOTHER FAILED STATE THROUGH GRIDE AND LACK OF LEADERSHIP.
looks like our kabwe based ‘freedom fighter’ is now born again, akontoloka
By this time someone has shicki polomia…con artist PF shouldn’t have thrown out the petition out of court…Its my time to watch these con artist run out of ideas…bachimbwi….
(HH) Kaponya is trying to use his Satamic connections to escape the noose of the hangman.
Madam Secretary do not be fO0Led by the Under 5 Serpent.
Meanwhile Obvious Mwaliteta will continue bleeding from his arsse in the care of his home.
it’s already too late the damage is done already
This Zambian wants other fellow Zambians to suffer! Whao! Mr Kudos Im sure you feel good that Obvious Mwaliteta has suffred in prison!
It’s just a fact that recently Mwaliteta was bleeding like an Ebola monkey. You cant run away from facts. Hard facts: The majority voters cant choose Akainde to be president.
Akainde will die without tasting State House. Hard facts.
Are you God to know what will happen in the future? Such low level thinking should be a crime, mwe! I don’t even know how you get access to a computer. You are too ignorant and useless to be making comments on a public forum.
Kudos you are a devil reincarnate who puts a skeleton for a profile pic ?
Petition, what petition? Didnt you hear the Commonwealth Secretary General state in no uncertain terms that President Lungu was duly elected to his position?
Kwena bu UPNDonkey, you mean to say you have not managed to pick even one thing from our free lessons to you on 14 day limit to petition?
But guys, it’s Lungu now who is in prison for illegally jailing HH. Just look at Baroness Scotland, former Attorney General for the UK and now Common Wealth SG shuttling between Lusaka and Mukobeko visiting HH. General Obasanjo just left after visiting HH. And look how Scotland is ignoring that ape from kwaNaBwalya called Luo! Just how much more aesthetically repulsive could a piece of p.u.s.s.y be!

She is ignoring that nabwalya swag because she can’t believe that a professor would openly be on the wrong side.
And it looks like Luo is picking Patricia’s pocket, ona malendele ba nBwalya ba, bukuba ni kulekwamyo!
Ba POTIPHER’S FAMILY (PF) fintu fyapantankata mwinsho.
Kikikikiki HH is now proved that boma ni boma hence using Mrs Scotland to negotiate for his freedom!!the nigga stood on an Antihill shoulting that upnd will never RECOGNIZE president Edgar Lungu as Zambia president.but jail days have catched up with him and he is now too busy begging for freedom from ECL whom he vowed never to recognize-kikikikikikiki.WE TOLD YOU KAINDE TO HUMBLE YOURSELF-SEE NOW?
Plus upnd and HH must be greatful to such good people like Obasanjo and Mrs Scotland who have begged ECL to forgive him for the sake of democracy!!!SOON HH WILL BE AT HIS CHALALA HOUSE AND START ENJOYING FREEDOM ONCE MORE!!if upnd continued using under 5 politicians from SA such as Malema,Msimane,HH could have rotten in jail!!
Scantily knowledgeable about what is happening on the ground, pretending to know, shut your talking duodenal up.
Divide and rule
Well said , this PF rat is a fontineen who thinks it rains money around lungu….
The PF rats can’t understand why HH is commanding visits…….
@18 Spaka like Donkeys, who pays attention to Donkeys anymore? We wait and see. I hope you dont make a u turn and start insulting the good Lady……….Kikikikiki
Hehehehehe
Bally, you pf rats are having polomya
Hehehehe
Get out of the kitchen boyi, i see you have started kikikikiing, that’s kikikiest.
By now the PF rats were hoping HH would be begging for release……it ain’t happening…instead HH is demanding the release of all other political prisoners before him……then opposition freedom to mobilise.. …we salute you HH. We salute you UPND.
Some bloggers condemning the Commonwealth Secretary Patricia Scotland are embarrassing to Zambia. These people epitomise the low calibre of PF cadres and how low PF government is regarded in international circles. Much more pressure will bear on PF regime from the rest of the world. We informed you that we in the UK have docked the Zambian case on the erosion of freedoms and liberty in the nation with a state of emergency in place.
HEY, WHAT HAPPENED WITH “TAKING PF TO THE ICC”? THAT WAS A SONG AT ONE TIME. HAS UPND FAILED TO DO SO? HAS UPND RETRACTED WITH TAIL BETWEEN LEGS?
The ICC is for later, right now the efforts are expended bringing lungus assault on democracy to the attention of the west from where the PF goverment needs and gets aid….it is in stages bwana , don’t panic.
Easy catches the monkey……
@Chisenga, you forgot one thing, Trump was also supposed to someone’s aid
Comment:come to your senses HH you have been used by headless politician .advising you not accept defeat and lot in jail while them ate enjoying their meals in five star hotels with posh girlfriends.
HH is a principled man…he is not into this for personal gain…..he knew what sacrifices he will have to make…
Sacrifice your aszhole!
Principled your nightmare!
Amos why can you not members of the press ask this lady themselves questions instead of you being spokesman for Commonwealth …its all a mess!!
There’s no press briefs nothing , it’s all hush hush or on airport tarmacs or in corridors………
These guys behave like Zambia is their personal kantemba. No! You are accountable to all citizens. Maybe we should force our presidents to have press conferences through a legal vehicle. Just like we should make records of which MP voted for which law so that we have an idea of who the useless MPs are. Anyway, under PF everything is chaos…in football they would say chipantepante!
Angel records are there in parliament!
Jay Jay, everything is done so hush-hush that citizens don’t know what parliament is discussing, voting is usually by secret ballot and to get records from Zambian institutions is like pulling a demon’s teeth! I just find our secrecy-culture very frustrating!
Accountability is impossible without Transparency and Freedom of Information! !!
Secrecy, Lies and Deception are the darkness that Corruption and Dictatorship are built on.
What do honest people have to.hide?
CHANDA YOU ARE MAKING A BIGGER FOOL OF YOURSELF. WHY MUST YOU FEEL THE NEED WHY SHE VISITED HH – ARE YOU EMBARRESED BECAUSE SHE VISITS HH INSTEAD OF PF PARTY CADRES !
we know that pfools are having sleepless nights they cant think properly after comitting these sins and wrongs to the people of zambia. people of zambia soon will demand to clear all prisons for pfools to go in . learn to respect the rule of laws at all times see you there..
Why can’t we leave the process of the law to acquit HH,as his cohorts claim is innocent? Why seek mediators on a straight forward case as claimed.After all its just a mere traffic offense.The courts have just proved they are impartial by a c quitting Mwaliteta and others.Even HH will be acquitted,if at all there is no evedence.Why do you need mediators???
@SayAsItIs,
Correction:- There is NO traffic offence either because it also collapsed for lack of evidence.
So, in short, the mediators, and all well-meaning people interested in good governance of Rule of Law are justified in asking why HH and his colleagues have been unlawfully detained for a Treasonable Offence that actually NEVER happened. Not even a traffic offence happened. Nothing.
Ati boma ni boma – 12 UPND supporters were arrested for no reason, their crime was supporting HH. Mwaliteta and others found innocent – imprisoned for nothing – ati boma ni boma.
Don’t pre-empty your theories / thoughts about Scotland, she will hold the conference at 17:00hrs.
It’s only herself who knows what she will say…….period.
Just watching Scotland’s address and she is not mentioned anything to do with treason or petition. She has just echoed that incarnated UPND donkey leader and ECL have agreed to meet at a later date and they will forget the past and move on. They will formulate a road map for 2021. All those hallucinating about petition etc forget. For now till 2021 PF and ECL are in control and probably beyond 2021.
It is clear why some people are condemning the lady, they are supporters of the sectarian and regional “hegemony” that will surely die, for die, it will, by peace or blood
