Gary Nkombo

Mazabuka Central Member of Parliament Garry Nkombo is being investigated by the Police in connection with the death of Harry Chanda who was killed in Livingstone on the 25th of February, 2013 during election campaigns.Zambian Police spokesperson Esther Katongo says Mr. Nkombo has since been warned and cautioned for manslaughter.

It was alleged in 2013 that drunk PF cadres drove to the UPND camp in Mosi-o-Tunya area and started throwing stones and other weapons at the UPND campaign center at the time the UPND team were having their meals resulting in a confrontation.An alleged clash between PF and UPND cadres ensued which led to the death of one PF cadre Harry chanda on the night of Monday February 25.

However after weeks of of imprisonmment in March 2013 Mazabuka Central UPND member of parliament Garry Nkombo and seven others who were facing a murder charge walked to freedom after the Director of Public Prosecutions Mutembo Nchito discontinued the case against them.

A PF cadre Henry Harry Lungu 26, unemployed of B2 30 Libuyu compound in Livingstone was instead formerly charged with the murder of Harrison Chanda.

In a statement made available to Q-News Ms. Katongo has disclosed that this follows continued investigations in which the Police has been linking people who could have participated in the murder.

Ms. Katongo states that the Mazabuka lawmaker was therefore summoned today the 17th of September at Woodlands Police station for questioning and after which he was warned and cautioned.

She says in this case, one person identified as Henry Lungu of Libuyu, Livingstone was initially arrested and jointly charged with other unknown persons and later convicted for manslaughter on the 09th of March 2017.

Ms. Katongo said that the offense of manslaughter is contrary to section 199 of the Penal Code Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia and Lungu is currently serving a six year sentence with hard labour.

She says investigations into this matter have continued.

    • This makes sense, why he stepped down and is likely going to join PF

      This would imply he would like the law to be on his side.

      I see through this man

      Thanks

    • This makes sense now.

      The case has been reopened.

      But this seems like it was self defense, although maybe Garry should have stayed away from the fights instead of taking the lead.

      RIP Harry Chanda the PF cadre.

    • I strongly suspect that Hecky Hecky No! was truly hurt by Nkombo’s resignation as Whip and for revenge sent word to the police that actually Mr Nkombo was the murderer. ZP police are lazy and will never, ever open a case especially one where someone has already been convicted of unless they have a “credible” tipster.
      Hecky Hecky No! can’t have Nkombo challenge him for UPND presidency hence making sure Nkombo becomes a convicted felon who can’t contest a national election!

    • UPND is de facto member of of the CULT in which its leader plays poker and its mostly antiChrist online members are secret members of it too. Their anti-JESUS movement is the first sign you will notice in this gang. The second sign is promotion of lawlessness which is on the agenda of UPND through its Mapatizya Formula. The next one on the list is Sacrifice of blood to appease its gods including their little god.

    • I seem to agree with Mushota. Further,the whole issue is highly political. The strategy by PF is to isolate HH and hand-over the UPND to a weak President should HH be found with a case to answer his eminent case of contempt. In the absence of HH, the PF knows, eventually Garry Nkombo would take over the Presidency of the UPND. The PF wants to further handover the UPND to a Northerner or Easterner. Furthermore, the PF is still fighting the Impeachment process who Garry himself and Kambwili deposited in Parliament. This is a game of wits. UPND, open your eyes and fight back. This is a Political Mother of all Battles you have ever fought against the PF and I believe these are strategies from China!

    • Mushota is now starting to see sense. I see through Mushota, who is now starting to see through PF for manipulating the government, including the country’s judicial system, for its benefit. It took a long time for the self acclaimed PhD holder to come to the realisation! Mushota better late than never.

    • Ya just hunting for wizards and witches and its normal. They will catch only those who kill, witches who kill. If you don’t kill never mind they won’t catch you. NOTHING WRONG TO HUNT FOR WITCHES.

  1. UPND the red blooded killers.

    Who doesn’t know these Free Massons from Livingstone Brother Hood Lodge

    Initiated and destroyed by (HH)

    I’m sure it’s a ploy to give him pressure to join the ruling part. Poor chap

  2. And that cop who shot dead Mapenzi Chibulo in the run up to the August 2016 elections?? When will he be arrested?……….we have not forgotten.

  3. Only one side is warned and cautioned by police,Only in zambia where the attacker goes free,self defence thats what the upnd campaign team did.

  4. the case is a non starter….. we know law and shall challenge it………… have Garry arrested and take him to court….. what shall be the offence…. Funy indeed….. you charge one with manslaughter and discharge others….. later you want to charge those you discharged with manslaughter……. Dont embarass the DPP…… there is no case…… State Counsel Siyuni (DPP)is competent. Wait zambians shall see drama……
    Do you think we went to law school for fun…. we know when we deal with evil people….

  5. What now!? I suspect there is a pre-emptive strike at the poor former Parliamentary Whip. Ah-ah! Muyanu akuti nipumuleko mwayambaso a ZP!!!

  6. This is clearly wasting peoples time …surely how do you warn and caution over manslaughter its either you have a case or not more this case was discontinued by then DPP….even the circumstances of the incident speak for themselves..
    I would tell ZP to do one …

    • In the U.S. they can arrest you even years after your crime. I hope Zambia can do this and pull it off. There are so many cases UPND has killed people for belonging to a different ethnic group or party. It is time to shut up this pathetic tribal H-organisation for denting Zambia’s good name. What a shame!

    • Whoever was present and whoever participated can be charged. Remember they killed another person in Southern Province some months ago who was a PF leader. I think it was in Siavonga. The man they killed had a name they call “A thief.” You now can compare UPND to South Africa. That is why it’s senseless little boy called Under Five was appealing to overthrow the legitimate government of Zambia! The boy has no manners and needs to grow up.

  7. PF is looking at ways to unsettle some UPND top brass because dangling the carrot has not worked.
    This is wasting people time? This is not a winnable case.

  8. @ Monze how can you say, dangling the carrot has failed when we are seeing headlines by UPND saying that PF is buying our people hence the defections….kkkkk

  9. LEAVE HIM ALONE , PF CADRES ATTACKED UPND AND ONLY ONE DEATH IS NOT BAD COSNIDERING THE NUMBER OF PIPO INVOLVED IN THE KAFIGHT

  10. This case is going nowhere. Reading from what this police officer is saying, it is not making sense. Criminal cases are the most difficult cases to prove. The evidence adduced must be direct and I wonder how that evidence will come. Any way I wish the police the best if not the worst embarrassment.

  11. This issue you are seeing or hearing is about the sell of ZESCO and other cases that Nkombo is championing. PF knows that Nkombo has a strong case against Lungu on the Impeachment Case. With the new revelations on Zambia being in serious trouble and likelihood of being lost to China due to Lungu’s recklessness and utter ignorance and poor management coupled with corruption, Lungu wants to divert attention and destabilize the opposition for his benefit. Look what Lungu is doing to Kalaba. That tells you how desperate and inconsistent Lungu and PF are becoming before Zambia charges Lungu with Treason for selling Zambia.

  12. Cockroaches always smell food, even where it is not available,hence their useless incoherent dance. It baffles me,every time when these *****s always want to blame HH, even for their uncollected garbage.Come on guys why do you hate rich people like HH so much.He has not stopped anyone from prospering. The problem is you are so lazy that you can’t blow your own.Every bad thing you say it is HH.Just go back to your villages and continue collecting caterpillars and rats Stop blaming HH or indeed any Tonga for your miserable lives.
