The Economic and Equity Party (EEP) Leader Chilufya Tayali has challenged police to arrest Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo for assaulting Roan member of parliament.

This follows after Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini suspended Lusaka province minister Bowman Lusambo from the service of the house for the maximum period of thirty (30) days for slapping Mr. Kambwili.

Mr. Tayali says he may have issues with the roan member of parliament, but he does not support hooliganism.

He says parliament’s ruling by parliament on the suspension of Mr. Lusambo for 30 days from parliament is evident enough that he indeed assaulted Mr. Kambwili.

He is of the view that since Mr. Kambwili reported the matter to emasdale police after it occurred, police should now arrest Mr. Lusambo in all fairness.

    • Well done Tayali but as a law respecting citizen you have to take it up further yourself and follow it up with a reminder to the police as they are literally sitting on it and sleeping! The occurrence book in which the report was recorded may even be missing! However it will not surprise me if police come up with a statement that the Speaker by suspending Lusambo has meted out punishment!

  1. “He says parliament’s ruling by parliament on the suspension of Mr. Lusambo for 30 days from parliament…”

    Yaba. Me, I’m a Journalist by profession, me.

  2. You know the police in Zambia acts on political pronouncements not on evidence crime .State house provides a steel wall to criminals and applies selective justice on Zambians who oppose them . Lusambo and Kapapa are walking the streets of Lusaka as free men because of plot one.

    • Guys if you want justice please do the following;
      1. Hon Chishimba Kambwili or is it Tayali or any other person is to get the Occurrence Book [OB] number against which this particular allegation was reported at Emmasdale Police Station of the Zambia Police.
      2. Additionally, LET any MP get us a copy the Ruling of the Speaker of the National Assembly [x4 copies], have it COMMISSIONED as true copy of the said Ruling, and file in the High Court Principal Registry as a Miscellaneous document. A Cause Number will be given and endorsed on these copies
      3. Thereafter, ensure that THE OB NUMBER PLUS THE HIGH COURT CAUSE NUMBER ARE POSTED ON THIS PLATFORM AS – “BOWMAN LUSAMBO TO BE PROSECUTED”
      4. LEAVE the rest to us to deal with, Justice will definately be done, there is no reason for him…

  3. That’s that only way Police will be seen to be independent otherwise lawlessness will continue among law makers. Charge him and let him face the law like Mukata.

    • PEOPLE DO NOT SIT ON YOUR RIGHTS AS A PEOPLE, DO WHAT WE HAVE ADVISED ABOVE, I CAN ASSURE THIS LUSAMBO WILL BE HISTORY.

  4. Chilufya Tayali? How is this? A party whose members are just his family! This boy is time waster.

  5. He says parliament’s ruling by parliament on the suspension of Mr. Lusambo for 30 days from parliament is evident enough that he indeed assaulted Mr. Kambwili.

  6. That’s what we call fairness, this guy has some times criticized the opposition as well as those in in government, if you think that this is the only time he has said something which makes sense to you then its you who have problems

    • With ck he went to the police with his evidence….why does he not go to the police and present this evidence .?

      He is only trying to look like he is not a paid PF agent…….

  7. It is only Kambwili who can go to the police and report Bowman for assault. Kambwili is the complaint not the speaker and not the police to start searching for Bowman. Please advice Kambwili to report and the police will look for Bowman

    • If you cant read, shut up. Kambwili reported this matter to the police long time ago, but the police did nothing about it. What Tayali is saying is that, if poloce did nothing about it for lack of evidence, it should do it now, for the speaker’s ruling on the matter is evident enough. Do you now understand?

    • @DDK since you seem to read, please read what is submissive as evidence in an assault case in criminal of law Zambia.

  8. It’s important that we level the playing field though in politics it’s not an easy task. Now to Mr Tayali why have you raised this issue now wen CK is yet to face the law? You see that’s how we miss the point people. We shud always be alert to point out wen s.one has done s.thing wrong. Just there and then. CK reported the matter upon to police. Assort is assort and CK has all the rights to report this matter to the police which he did. But Mr Tayali the way you are advising CK to me it’s like you have a grudge against Lusambo or you are luking for a loophole in CKs arrest. The question we shud all be asking is why didn’t the police arrest Lusambo. As an NGO you are the people we appreciate but don’t be political. By the way I surprised to hear that Bowman slapped CK cause what we…

  9. This is indeed something for the police to ponder on. Am sure the case is still there in the OB. Maybe, as in the case of Kambwili’s arrest at the airport, the police are waiting for instructions from higher authorities.
