Share

Scores of Opposition New Hope Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) members and residents of Lusaka today stormed Zambia Police Headquarters to show solidarity to Dr. Nevers Mumba who was appearing before the Zambian Police.

Dr. Mumba who is the President of the New Hope MMD had been summoned by the Police for Interrogation over his revelations of the alleged rigging of the Lukashya by-elections. He had earlier been summoned by the Electoral Commission of Zambia but the MMD Secretariat declined the invitation that ECZ had no right to summon anyone.

As early as 7 hours, people started trooping to Force Headquarters. The residents had banners that read among others that “Nevers Fit, PF Weak”, “ECZ Should Go!!”, “Nevers say Never” among others.

Dr. Mumba who was in the company of Senior MMD officials, United for a Better Zambia (UBZ) President Mr. Sondo and his Lawyer, Counsel Jeah Madaika arrived at the force Headquarters at 9:50 hours.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) President Dr. Chishimba Kambwili and members of the NDC Central Committee arrived at 11 hours to offer solidarity to Dr. Mumba but was blocked by Riot Police.

Dr. Mumba who was interrogated for over 2 hours emerged from Force Headquarters at 12 hours in high spirit.

Dr. Mumba who addressed the residents, MMD members and the Press said that the journey to save Zambia has started.

“I would like to thank you all for coming through to show solidarity to us. What happened in Lukashya should never happen again. Today is the first step in our journey to save Zambia”, Dr. Mumba said.

  1. This phenomenon: Summoned to appear before the police has ‘this is dictator state’ written all over it/
    Should it not be: Appear before the court? This as in defense to the accuser’ charges?

  2. A democracy is where the opposition is allowed to mobilise, public media is allowed to cover all political parties equitably and the opposition are not summoned to Police stations at the slightest of issues. Anything at variance with this is not democracy

  3. Very interesting indeed. Every political party in one way or the other have time immemorial been accusing the victor every after each election and there has never been any police summoning. What is so special with Lukanshya? People were being gassed and someone said he knew the gassers and yet no one was summoned. Gutting of markets, no one was summoned. Something is not adding up here.

  4. WE ZAMBIANS ARE NOT HELPING PF TO SHOW PF LEADERSHIP THAT THEY ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO US ALL. WE SHALL CRY MORE AND NO ONE SHALL POINT FINGERS ON ECL, BECAUSE LUNGU’S THINKING CAPACITY HAS REACHED ITS CLIMAX AND CAN NOT THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. HE CAN NOT THINK OF WHAT HE CANT FOR BETTER A ZAMBIAN. ALL OF US WITH DIVERGENCE VIEWS HE EITHER ARREST YOU OR THREATENS BY DROPPING HIS PF ( POLICE FORCE PARTY). POLICE HAS STOPPED POLICING BUT ITS NOW FORCING INDIVIDUALS – CITIZENS – NOR WONDER PROF. LUMUMBA CALLED HIM “”PARANOID””, OR MAGOG IN LEADERSHIP WHICH I AGREE HE IS INDEED.

  5. What is funny is how nevers was quickly called to report to the police station for questioning. Some unsettled people in the PF got concerned with the revelation hence the continued tactics of threatening opposition members using the police. if there is something that need to be clear is the police is a failed institution and so are the courts, no matter what information Nevers Mumba may divulge to them it will go nowhere since the Police and the courts favor those in the ruling party.

  6. I am not an MMD supporter. I think they have no hope but I turned up at Police Hq. You can see me in one of the pictures because Iam for freedom of speech. Iam against a puppet Police force that is aligned to the ruling party. Who will protect our democracy?

  7. Nevers Mumba is looking like the real opposition we need. He is just corrupt enough. He has the fear of God in him which is a plus. Rebuild MMD into what it was supposed to have been, a great party. Had that Chiluba and his flunkies not hijacked it, Zambia would be competing with South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt as of now. In the economic arena.

  8. NAWAKWI AND ANTONIO MWANZA ARE FULL TIME BAMWANKOLE WHO HAVE FORGOTTEN WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND HAVE JOINED PF BECAUSE OF LYE (STOLEN FOOD IN THE BUSKET) YADIBA MU PF BASKET. BUT UNFORTUNATELY NAWAKWI HAS COME IN LATE – BAMUSHA ULWEKO-

  9. Zambian opposition is very weak
    And not united.Very easy to be
    Dribbled .In the end same old story of cry baby.How many times
    Are you going to continue crying?

  10. How can ECZ summon anyone sure, who talk Margaret Chimanse this law? Next time you will hear that Lungu has summoned Jameson Whisky to state house for a swallowing lesson! Kunya lwakwa Godfoolish Miyanda under interrogation by Gen Chitonfwa!

  11. Zambia is not a democracy. Let us just stop the presence. We could save ourselves lots of money from unnecessary elections.

  12. I have never heard Dr. Never or even Kambwili talking about rigging in Southern Province. This time around Nevers should know that MMD can’t win an election. Am just waiting for a bye election in the southern province. So this kambwili when he is not before the court a miracle happens “boom” he is fit. But when he is supposed to appear before the court another miracle happens “boom” he has BP.

  13. Kambwili ni muselela kwakaba. He wants support when he goes to court for his forgery case next time. Amapolitics yansala. Anyone who feels agrieved or commits an offence rushes to form a kantemba political party. Even the hardcore corrupt souls are shouting corruption, corruption and hiding behind their tuntemba political parties. Shame on you.

  14. Bwana Nevers, isn’t there something else you can do with the remainder of your life than maspuarading as a politician. Surely, manx are called, but few are chosen, and you are not one of the few, bwana Nevers.

  16. Bwana Nevers, isn’t there something else you can do with the remainder of your life than masquerading as a politician. Surely, many are called, but few are chosen, and you are not one of the few, bwana Nevers.
