The Ruling Patriotic Front(PF) has said that the party will take what it described as stern and appropriate disciplinary action against Eastern Province Youth Chairman Emmanuel Banda, popularly known as “Jay Jay” in line with PF’s disciplinary code.
In a statement released to the media, PF Party Secretary General Davies Mwila said that PF members, especially those in leadership positions must endeavour to lead by example through exemplary behaviour at all times and that there are no sacred cows in the Party and everyone is equal before the law.
Mr Mwila said that PF was a mass movement of the people brought together by common values which include love of country, patriotism, justice and the rule of law and that No one will be allowed to use the Party to shield any form of criminality and illegality, adding that members should do all they can to defend party’s image and reputation, as they owe this to both the present and future generations of Zambians.
Mr Mwila further said that the decision by the Police to grant Jay Jay Banda police bond and how they handle the case is not PF’s baby and that aspect was not a party matter, but added PF exists to make the job of law enforcement agencies such as the police easier.
“We shall not sink to low levels of antagonizing the police while abrogating the law. We, therefore, encourage the police to execute their mandate as demanded of them by the law,’ he said.
Jay Jay and other PF cadres recently attacked police officers at Lusaka Central Police. Four suspects identified as John Lungu, Maxwell Pito, Leyford Phiri and Maurice Siluonde were later apprehended while Jay Jay the mastermind, escaped. Police launched a manhunt for him until, 19th August, 2020 when he handed himself to police at Lusaka Central Police.
According to Police Inspector General Kakoma Kanganja, Jay Jay was granted bail because his aggravated robbery charge was reduced to aggravated assault with intent to steal upon receiving advice from the National Prosecution Authority (NPA) advised that there wasn’t enough evidence to do so.
However, the Police Chief has ordered the re-arrest of Jay Jay for staging an unlawful procession which is against provisions of the Public Order Act and without notifying the Police in the area.
“It was, however, observed that after Banda was released on Police Bond, he proceeded to Eastern Province where he staged an unlawful procession which is against provisions of the Public Order Act. I have therefore directed the Eastern Province Police Commissioner to arrest the said Banda as he did not notify the police,” Mr Kanganja stated.
Since when do you get bond for such a crime? Lungu has to go with all this decay.
This Jay Jay guy is indeed a loose canon. Is it not the same guy who peed in a journalist mouth n almost set him ablaze? He should have been dsiciplned then.
HOW CAN CRIMINALS DISCIPLINE A CRIMINAL? WHO IN PF LEADERSHIP ISNT A CRIMINAL?
It is too late. The PF baboons have made our men in uniform to lose face. How can military personnel salute to a civilian with no rank and file in either the force or government. Shame on you police, Zambia Army, ZAF. You are a bunch of spineless jerks. Upholding the constitution is what you pledged.
This is totally unacceptable

Because of lawlessness PF is pushing a lot of its supporters to the fence. Interestingly lawlessness starts from state house.
Haha, “PF exists to make the job of law enforcement agencies such as the police easier”. This is constipation associated with high level of constraint or restriction
of the truth.
Proof PF favours no one. No party favours when it comes to law and order!
IT’S NOT PF’S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST A CRIMINAL BUT IT IS THE POLICE,IN SHORT THE PF ARE SAYING THAT THEY WILL INSTRUCT THE POLICE TO ENFORCE THE LAW ON JAY-JAY AS HE IS COMMONLY KNOWN IN PF’S CIRCLES.IT IS SHAMEFUL TO HEAR MR.MWILA MAKE SUCH A COMMENT. IN SHORT IF PF ARE QUITE THEN JAY-JAY CAN NOT BE ARRESTED.
THE POLICE ARE STUPID, why not Protest or storm PF secretariat to demand for answers? They are all poor and corrupt. We have No Police in Zambia. This is why they have lost their respect to citizens.
What stern action can PF take if the police has failed to deal with him.
That is why i can not join the POLICE ,ZAF ,ARMY ,ZNS , DEC ,ACC ,etc. ME IN UNIFORM being used by POLITICIANS…It can NEVER EVER HAPPEN….

Oko – Uli chipuba sana. Just wait and see what what you admire will pan out to be. You think a 25 year old being in charge of a nation is a joke. Wished you went to school chipuba iwe.
It is too late now for you to punish him .Just ask Kanganje to take the police bond off this thief and apologise to the nation for obeying political orders from PF scum bags instead of being led by evidence of crime .We have a lawyer in charge of the country which does not respect the rule of law .What have we done as Zambians to deserve this government which is worse than covid 19 and cholera put together ?
The thuggery of PF goes on unabated ….
They the pf are a police state with a state……..they have their own rules.
Criminality by PF thugs is treated as an internal matter out side the laws of Zambia…….
We have the police that is scared of the PF scum bags .What can you expect ? The answer is pretty obvious , Selective Justice and a break down in the rule of law .
Oh please phuck off!!
Jay Jay will just grab a mobile phone and switch the video on… the trend has been set. Just ask Bwana Njombe.
This is becoming an all too familiar scenario. Some PF fellow commits a criminal act, the Police or ACC are intimidated into messing up the case and the PF comes in (as a cover up) to tell us that they will discipline the criminal. They did the same with the gold thieves in Kasenseli. Let government and statutory bodies that were set up to do investigations and prosecutions do their jobs freely, without intimidation and if thieves want to do something to their fellow thieves thereafter, let them go ahead. That wouldn’t concern us in the least.
In whatever we do either in power or out side power let’s consider the authority in place. Today you may be powerful than the set rules and regulations tomorrow weak. Then who will defend you when you are weak. Moreover the distraction of a being is when power goes to the head.Power is good but too much power kills. Water may quench thirst to much water kills when you are drawn in it. Let’s use power and not abuse it for the well being of everyone.
Nothing is going to happen to him because campaigns are starting and they need him and he even knows it thats why immediately he was released on bond he went ahead to commit another offense of unlawful assembly without fear or regret.
Excellent decision SG. The pf takes rules seriously. You will never see or hear the upnd disciplining their own because they want you to believe that no one in their party falls short of abiding by rules. A very unrealistic situation given their record of violence. Keep lying to yourselves. Zambian are not dull to know that you are fake and not genuine

Fooks speak without thinking! Where did Mwila get powers to order the Eastern Province Police Commissioner to arrest that Chinkubala called Jay Jay? That is proof enough that Zambia Police only act with permission or on the orders of PF.
That chimpanzee called Jay Jay will pay a heavy price soon. He cant be be a law unto himself. I will personally get him.
After committing whatever crime at central police, are telling me for month police had no clue where this guy was, even their police check points couldn’t serve any purpose, even when he was coming back to hand himself in, he was detected at the numerous police check points, police only saw drop guluguchu at their door steps, very interesting case, maybe the police I see on crime investigation channel are trained in heaven.
This is very shameful and unacceptable, when the people you expect to enforce the law allow themselves to be used by a corrupt criminal regime PF. How can you give police bond to a dangerous thug like this Jay Jay? What kind of policing is this? Come on Zambia Police, get serious. How are you going to help arrest these PF criminals next year, after they lose the election? Stop cowering and do your jobs. No sacred cows in Zambia. No one should be above the law. And now you made this kid JJ feel like he’s above the law. Not only that. You’ve also emboldened other would be PF thugs to think they can just walk into your police station, attack you and get away with it. You should’ve made an example out of this stup1d kid, JJ. Shame on you.
Just the usual PF tradition of thuggery .
There’s no honour amongst thieves, let them rip each other to pieces. Ifwe ni Bally Che.
U invade a Police Station, beat up the Policemen manning the Station, flee and go into hiding. After one Month in hiding Jay Jay reports to a Police Station, his charge is changed from Aggravated Robbery to Aggravated Assault and Jay Jay is given a Police Bond and released. Why was the charge reduced from Aggravated Robbery to Aggravated Assault? Becoz Jay Jay is a PF Cadre. This selective application of Law is uncalled for. Clearly ZPS is 100% State Captured. Aggregate Robbery is not bailable so to give Jay Jay the charge was reduced to Aggravated Assault. This is Animal Farm at work.
Thieves are like monkeys. When the old become weak , the young ones take over the troop, the looting goes on.

Cry my beloved country. I have always wondered why mostly African politicians think that they become semi- gods when they have the reigns of power. They act with impunity as if they will forever be in those positions and yet history has shown that the influence of any political party has a life span. Talk of Gaddafi of Libya, talk of Mubarack of Egpty, talk of KK of Zambia,They develop this false confidence which quickly evaporates when the tide meets them head on. Always remember that any position you hold is temporal and one day you will be answerable to some one. So it is very childish to behave as if you have absolute power and yet that power is temporal.
