The Post Newspaper has again lost its bid to stay contempt proceedings, instituted when the paper defied a court order not to publish libelous articles on President Rupiah Banda during the 2008 Presidential by-elections.
Supreme Court Judge Gregory Phiri has ruled that the application to stay proceedings filed by the Post Newspaper lacks merit.
Judge Phiri has dismissed with costs the application by the Post Newspaper to stay the proceedings, pending the out-come of the appeal to compel President Banda to personally appear in court for cross-examination.
He stated that the contempt matter can only be halted if the High Court rescinds its leave issued to effect the proceedings.
The Post Newspapers applied to stay the contempt proceedings after the High Court turned down its demands to cross-examine President Rupiah Banda.
The court ruled that it is disrespectful to parade the incumbent Republican President in court for cross-examination.

Difficulty to win a case against boma.
LT we appreciate your bringing us the news but please improve on your grammar or write in chinyanja
Loses not losses. Lose and loss, get it?
Ya wonderful news this ensure this man is locked up he must have some respect..
Namakando mwembe paying RB.Interesting. Anyway his homo friend Sata will definately help him.
It is common sense that the president in Zambia can not be cross examined in court period
Good move. Membe to pay RB for the Legal Cost. RB will give the money to the wife and his young twins to go shopping. Oouch it Hurts.
“The court ruled that it is disrespectful to parade the incumbent Republican President in court for cross-examination.” -This is not about respect, it is about justice!
Freedom of the press at its worst. These guys are seriously abusing their freedom. How can the kaPost think it can cross examine the president? Mulekwatako umchishi bamambala imwe! They are just a bunch of f00ls with no respect for the president;what more with ordinary men like me and you???? These guys are just too silly to say the least. Sata is losing the elections as usual and I dont know what they will be writing about then. Membe nimatuvi yoendelela. Just wait before boma descends on you kamafuul ka kanthu. I end here!
Namakando Membe learn to have some respect. You disrespected KK, FTJ, Levy and now RB. I know you can only respect your fellow gay. You wanted to parade the repubican president in court, SHA
Every DOG has its DAY…… that DAY will one day come for Mmembe, this is the beginning..

He thinks press freedom is writing anything which crosses his two ears. The POST lost respect long ago. Its a project which started well and then went wrong the day they decided to enter the pockets of politicians
This Gay premate called Mmembe has gone overboard with his delusions. This loss is a prelude to the election results and its petition including their schemed violence against Zambians. The people of Zambia with their ruling national party MMD and RB will keep winning all the way to 2016. Sata will die of heart attack from overwhelming shock, shame and pressure Gays and Lesbians Roger Chongwe and Mmembe have linked him up to.
Leadership comes from God and not from homosexuality, bestiality and hatred which has overtaken these premates in the Gays Club. Before every eye, tens of thousands will fall at the right hand of God’s chosen leader for a time such as this one. Woe to all hate mongers doomed into their oblivision as light shines brighter on Zambians.
i hope it is a;lot of money the fool will pay RB,Good show RB please donate the money to an orphanage

RB as always Humble, sober, composed, intelligent, wise, educated, pragmatic, empathetic, inclusive, peace making internationalist ready to continue the rebuilding of Zambia
RB WILL BE GOT LIKE STRAUSS. HE LIKES DORA TOO MUCH.
Disrespectful to parade the president ca wiso iwe!. So why did the i.dio.t sue if he cannot appear before a court of law? Zambia banana republic par excellence! In normal civilised countries it is very rare for an elected head of govt or state to sue for defamation. RB is an elected public figure it is st/ipu/d of him to expect citizens or media not to comment about his activitie some of which are downright criminal. This thing should just go back to its farm.
POST YOU ARE FINISHED AND THAT SHOULD SERVE AS WARNING THAT NEVER UNDERMINE ANYBODY (HH & RB). YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR PF CAN WIN AN ERECTION USING YAKUMBUYO? ALAS BA HOMO IMWE
The Law firm representing The Post should have had the courage to advise its client creating smoke screens in the hope of delaying judicial processes may just serve to lower their clients integrity. The position taken by Mmembe was just calculated to humiliate the Republican President. Let justice be executed speedly.
