Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Tutwa Ngulube was today released on a K10, 000 cash bail after spending a night in police cells.
Mr Ngulube was yesterday arrested by Police in Kabwe and charged with criminal trespass as he went to intervene in the matter of the closed down Sonnet Bus Station which was closed by the Kabwe Municipal Council for allegedly operating illegally.
The Kabwe Lawmaker confirmed that he is out on bail and the matter has since been adjourned to 18th May 2018.
“The battle between the rich few and the majority poor has been drawn. I am now out of Police cells where I enjoyed my hotel experience. The court has graciously granted me K 10,000 bail with two sureties. I have raised Constitution issues for determination to the High Court and the Court has adjourned the matter for trial to the 18th May 2018,” Mr Ngulube said.
“The police yesterday gave me proper escort of 31 vehicles including Anti robbery pickups and 81 AK 47 Rifles. I had a beautiful night and am now going to the hospital for medical checkups,” he said.
And the Kabwe Municipal Council says it has with immediate effect closed down Sonnet Bus Station for operating illegally.
Council Assistant Public Relations Manager Mumba Mafwenko said the station which services long distance buses has been closed down because it was operating contrary to the provisions of Section 6 (1) (a) of the Markets and Bus Stations Act Number No. 7 of 2007.
Why does this man think he is above the law?
He went to UNZA and became a Lawyer just to end up a parasite in PF…this guy is such an assshole…ZIALE is not doing enough in regulating these scumbags masquerading as Lawyers….Tutwa is very dull i don’t even know how he cleared ZIALE
Self inflicted problems; he had it coming; been daring them for a long time
These Councils in Zambia awe sure kuwayawayafye. So its only now that they discovered that his businesses were operating illegally?? The only things these poor councils in Zambia know is demolitions of houses or closing people’s businesses. Hope.less councils. Why do you sleep watching someone start building a house & wake up only to demolish when its completed?? You so called Councils know that you exist to provide services not demolitions.
When the man was arrested he was putting on a suit. But he decided to go and change into a party regalia. This is failure to separate politics from any other business. Please spear us and account for your transgressions period. If the council has erred, let courts determine it. I believe even the PF strongly believes in the rule of law. They say if you live in a glass house don’t throw stones. Prove the council wrong bwana Tutwa. To the council, do not embarrass us also. Look for a better lawyer not ba Bakabesha naimwe so that tutwa is made to understand more laws. If you need money, this time around we are read to give you land rate in advance for the next five years.
This case is that of trespass but being brought in this cage just shows how disproportional and uncivilized our approach to everything is. You’d think the guy is a serial killer or some other dangerous criminal that warrants to be caged. Ichalo bantu people let us wake!
I would not sympathise with this rat….he is like Tayali you don’t just know where his loyalties lay..he is the last person to talking on behalf of the poor!!
@Jay Jay
I totally agree with you this guy is a moron…and he is a thief too
The best person to talk about the POOR is His Highness (HH), Hollow Hole?
WABOOKA LELO IWE TUTWA!!
This guy was the loudest tin pushing for ba Jona to be Leader @ the Panga raising convention, coz he wrongly calculated Jona would elevate him for being a loud P.F cadre & noisemaker.
Problem happened when Rupiah came with his own corrupt legion, which meant NOT enough room for all P.F Noisemakers!
Tutwa azanya manzi, & I ALSO HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THIS MAGGOT LIKE KAMBWILI, & FUBE!
Just Akudununeni, no ku sunsha aka musana, na bokosi mu chifungo!!
Please, word of advice- NO FAINTING!
Tutwa is just a parasite hoping to gain from helping Lungu get the PF and country presidency.
Now he claims to champion the needs of vulnerable Kabwe residents when he is struggling to enrich himself from ECL favours. Good luck Tutwa and hope Edgar scratches your back too.
Oh Edgar has scratched your other friends with Fire Tender contracts, etc. Demand the same too.
CORRUPT TW*TS.

ba Ngulube ebo tulefwaya….
Tutwa for President!!!!! lets agree the man has shown an independent mind. He is not a yes man like the Chitotelas and Kampyongos.
He has also spent some time in a cell which is a prerequisite for being a President in Zambia. Kambwili cant be President because he fainted.
