POLICE yesterday detained Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Tutwa Ngulube for alleged criminal trespass.They also closed down his business premises at Sonotes, which also operates as a bus station.

According to police, Sonotes was closed because it allegedly operates illegally.

Last week, Ngulube dragged the Kabwe Municipal Council to court on allegations of abuse of authority of office and failing to comply with tender procedures.

But in apparent retaliation, the council, through the Town Clerk Ronald Daka, signed a closure order for Sonnet Melodius Building Complex, which houses Sonnet Hypermarket; A transit bus station for long distance vehicles, all operated by Ngulube saying it was an illegal business.

Police then surrounded the premises and locked them up.

Ngulube was intercepted at a police check point at Prospect Police station on his way to sort out the closure of his business.

After some minutes, journalists were stunned to see Ngulube being led into an unregistered police vehicle.

When asked what was happening, Ngulube said; “I am being arrested for criminal trespass”, before officers barred journalists from asking further questions.

    • The feud between the Kabwe Central MP and the Kabwe mayor is costing Kabwe residents of development. Did Sonnets start operating this month? Did the MP break the law just today? Why was Big Bite closed which was the main intercity transit station in Kabwe? And why hasn’t the official intercity bus terminus opposite Mulungushi textiles been completed up to now? Why did the MP file an injunction against the building of a modern Intercity bus terminus when works had already started? And this while, cadres of the same party are all over the place. Our leaders should look at the broader picture.

    • Lawlessness how can u arrest him now when what he is being accused of is done law he has been breaking until he took the municipality to court suddenly the realisation has dawned. We need to be serious in Zambia I neither pity Tutwa nor the council because I am sure they will sort themselves out the PF is the law into themselves.

  1. Tutwa is a PF plant.
    He will come out in support of lungu.
    He knows where his bread is baked.

    • Please try to be fair sometimes. The guy has broken law and the police are only doing their job. To you if the opposite happened you were still going to say something nasty or if it was Gary Nkombo involved you’re going to call police PF stooges. Please can you forget politics even for one minute?

    • Ndanje Khakis Are you like serious or maybe you just don’t know the feud between the Kabwe Central MP and the Kabwe mayor? Did Sonnets start operating this month? Did the MP break the law just today? Why was Big Bite closed which was the main intercity transit station in Kabwe? And why hasn’t the official intercity bus terminus opposite Mulungushi textiles been completed up to now?
      Factor in all these before making baseless statements.

    • Ndanji

      No one is saying he did not break the law , what I am saying is tutwa is as corrupt as they can get. He is also PF and lungu die hard.
      This episode is only pf and lungu teaching him a lesson to tow the line.
      We all know about the selective application of the law in Zambia.

    • Feuds are always there but that shouldn’t deter the police from carrying out their duties. If you have problems with your neighbour, then one you commit a crime against him are you going to use the feud as the reason he’s reported you to the police?

    • As for you Spaka, it’s a waste of time reasoning with you. Hypothetically if the Charmaine musonda woman was PF you were going to write volumes against her,but there you’re praising. I’ve some damaging article about HH on how Mazoka fathered HH by sleeping with one of his father’s wives. ….I just brushed aside because it’s just trying to bring someone into shame. ..I am sure you if it’s Lungu you were going to copy and paste the entire fifty paragraphs.

    • 2.6 What’s in a name. Continue suffering because of my name. ….for your information it’s my real name just mixed the letters.

    • So iwe Dontcare, you have not read the article above? He may be yours but, he has broken the law and the police are doing their job. If it were you, no one was going to ask the two stupid questions you have posed above. Your Tutwa thinks because he is close to ba Kateka, he thinks he can embarrass him before the public. Do you know Chubanama at state house? The guy least expected to leave state house, left like lightening because he embarrassed the kateka at church. So sir/madam the council is doing its job. An innocent man lost the park where Choppies is even when he never defaulted on his obligations with council at anyone time, but your tutwa and others managed to wrestle the land from him. What goes round comes round.

  2. Tutwa is one of the sharpest PF MPs. Smarter and wiser than dumbo Kambwili. He is probably the biggest threat to the president to take over PF. The rest mostly nivi Shupu kikikiki. Reason they are mistreating him.

  3. Lol lets see how it goes….let justice prevail…some dudes saying his sharp for operating illegal businesses typical panga family supporters.

  4. The law was made for law-breakers hence you can live under sin for 99 years but just 1 Sunday you will be revisited by law. We should not support unlawful constructions but allow Town and country planners do their job, if you look at Solwezi town you will support Kabwe fathers.

  5. Another one who started challenging the common PF idea of 2021Jona wamuyaya.
    The same P.F he helped shape into a monster is coming back to bite him like Kambwili.
    For P.F Stooge Ndanji @ 2:1, Kaizer broke the law in full view of dozens.
    If your PFolice is impartial, why is Kaizer still your Jona’s special advisor for Corruption, instead of serving time for discharging a firearm in public, & physically assaulting a female law enforcement officer, which appears to run in that family, as his brother Munir is on camera actually boxing a police officer, yet still running free.
    Some of us are NOT gullible PF Cadres mind you.
    YOU CAN FOOL SOME PEOPLE SOMETIME, BUT YOU CANT FOOL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME!

  6. The arrest of Tutwa sounds like a revenge from Prince as it is Tutwa that was the whistle blower on the plots scam at the Kabwe Municipal Council.

  7. ANOTHER ONE PAYING FOR CHALLENGING P.F, JONA WAMUYAYA 2021.
    The same PF. Monster Tutwa helped shape has returned to bite, like Kambwili.
    For P.F cadre Stooge Ndanje @2:1, if your compromised PFolice are impartial why is chi Kaizer still Jona’s special advisor for Corruption, after discharging a firearm in public, & physically assaulting a female Police officer? This thug trait runs in the Zulu family, as brother Munir is on camera boxing a police officer yet still running free.
    Ndanje, some of us are NOT gullible & easily led.
    YOU CAN FOOL SOME PEOPLE SOMETIME, BUT YOU CANT FOOL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME!!

  8. mwansambula kulima – How many times has Kaizer Zulu misbehaved and been disciplined? The answer is Zero. Kaizer Zulu’s conduct is very much in public domain but has he been disciplined? To you this is not selective application of the law. When Kaizer clobbered that police woman at heroes stadium was he even touched? Why do you want to lie with your teeth for issues or things that are so much in public domain.

    • Ndetila nati – l agree with you dear. But this does not mean even Tutwa should be allowed to do what he wants any time and anyhow. Two wrongs do not make aright. Yes the issues with the people you have mentioned are regrettable. But we have been calling for sanity and stoppage to selective application of the law and l believe Tutwa is such an example of avoidance of selectivity.

  9. PF is destroyed! All founding members such as GBM, Wynter Kabimba, Chishimba Kabwili, Harry Kalaba, etc. are out. Next is KBF, Tutwa, etc.
    Some of these held very senior offices and know too much.
    I feel very sorry for this party founded to help poor Zambians.
    Next is too ghastly to contemplate!

  10. The Law maker tastes his own medicine. The saying that NO one is above the law has come to pass.
