MUNDUBILE, MAKEBI ZULU TO BE SURRENDERED TO ZAMBIA POLICE
…following failed UN attempts to resolve the stand-off as President Hichilema has insisted that the duo must face the law on allegations of treason and insurrection.
According to Emmanuel Mwamba…
United Nations Secretary General,António Guterres’ representative has concluded his negotiation trip to Lusaka to help resolve the stand-off between Zambia’s leading candidadate in the just ended general elections Brian Mundubule and the Zambian authorities.
Following a military raid at his home that resulted in the killing of former Minister of Transport and Communications, Hon.Mutotwe Kafwaya, Mundubile and his Running Mate, Makebi Zulu took emergency shelter at the United Nations compound for safety.
The shuttle diplomacy between President Hakainde Hichilema and Mundubile and Makebi Zulu, has failed to resolve the stand-off as President Hichilema has insisted that the duo must face the law on the allegations of treason and insurrection.
President Hichilema spurned UN suggestion and efforts to surrender them to a third-party or to provide a safe passage for them to leave the country.
The church were brought in to help resolve the impasse but all they have achieved is that they will witness the hand-over Mundubile and Makebi from the United Nations to law enforcement agencies.
Sources close to the negotiations state that President Hichilema had pledged that the duo will be subjected to a fair due process of the law.
The Inspector General of Police Graphael Musamba has issued a call-out for the duo to face charges of treason and insurrection after they charged members of the Tonse-Pamodzi Alliance, lawyer, George Chisanga, Bishop Trevor Mwamba, Lusaka businessman, Patrick Mwansa and others,with treason.
Authorities have also detained or arrested over 300 members of the Alliance without charging them or appearing in court.
The un are alarmed by the huge number of conflicts around the globe and still want to tolerate possibilities of more conflicts. PF is a party that deserves proper management before we land ourselves in a terrible quagmire
People must just calm down. Elections are over and HH has emerged victorious. The two gentlemen can not continue hiding in the UN buildings, they must be handed over to the police and face the law. If they are innocent the courts will determine. Those callers from the comfort of their homes should consider the plight of the families of the two gentlemen.
Safe passage for them to leave the country? They should not have gone to hide in the UN facility in the first place.
Going to court gives them the chance to clear their names. They should not add to the catastrophic mistake of abandoning their followers to take refuge in the UN building by grabbing a safe passage out of the country.
The coming few months will make or break them.
