Court visits Jay Jay Banda at Maina Soko!
The Lusaka High Court yesterday visited Maina Soko Military Medical Centre to verify the health condition of detained former Petauke Member of Parliament Emmanuel Jay Jay Banda.
Judge Geoffrey Mulenga had earlier ordered the State to bring Banda before the court, but the State said doctors had advised that he could not be moved due to his condition.
A medical report presented to the court by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Charles Mukunta indicates that Banda underwent major surgery on October 24, 2026, to repair a severe fracture of his left shinbone near the knee.
The report states that Mr Banda remains in post-operative recovery and is not allowed to put weight on his injured leg.
Court documents also included X-ray images of the fractured leg and photographs showing surgical stitches following the operation.
