Patriotic Front (PF) Vice President, Given Lubinda, has been acquitted by the Lusaka Magistrate Court in a case where he was accused of failing to surrender a diplomatic passport and holding multiple passports.
Lusaka Resident Magistrate Kawama Mwanfuli ruled that the state failed to establish a prima facie case against Mr. Lubinda. In her judgment, Magistrate Mwanfuli stated that none of the three state witnesses provided evidence to prove that Mr. Lubinda had refused or failed to return the diplomatic passport after his tenure as Justice Minister.
The court further found that Mr. Lubinda had, in fact, surrendered his diplomatic passport following the 2021 General Election, as evidenced in the proceedings.
With the ruling, the charges against Mr. Lubinda have been dismissed, and he has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
I hope this decision will convince PF that justice is actually not rigged against them!
Malicious prosecution. Unfortunately he won’t get a consent judgement for compensation
They keep on losing these upnd!!! So they will use this as propaganda for good governance. Quick at arresting pipo with no proper evidence.. bu kamushi bubi sana.. bush mouse goes to town!!!!!
If someone is jailed ati the judiciary is compromised.
Now ZED is as bad as RSA, suicides every day, infidelities, robberies, murders, kidnapping, no monies in circulation, hopelessness, unfulfilled promises etc & we are getting into 4 years of upnd rule & NEVER question these things otherwise you will be locked up… wow!!! Muzalila tu upnd, the wicked will no go unpunished!!!
This magistrate is history. They are working on ways to erase her. Just wait.
The state has been maliciously prosecuting some of these cases. The objective is to keep the opposition occupied by court cases and drained out of money as they have to retain legal representation.
Forwadee 2031………..
Olo even 2036……..
Who cares? Zambians deserve the leaders they elect….
