‘CALLS FOR HOUSE ARREST OF JAY J BANDA: UNFOUNDED AND A THREAT TO JUSTICE’ – CONCERNED CITIZEN
Aswell Mwalimu, a concerned Zambian citizen, has criticized the United Kwacha Alliance’s (UKA) calls for Emmanuel Banda’s house arrest. Mwalimu argues that the demands are baseless and designed to undermine the ongoing investigation into the alleged abduction.
Mwalimu has emphasized that house arrest is a court-ordered sentence, not a measure to be taken lightly. He has stated, “House arrest is a sentence in which offenders are ordered by the court to remain confined in their residences save for attending medical or other approved conditions.”
Further, Mwalimu has called upon Nkana Member of Parliament Binwell Mpundu to demonstrate responsible leadership. He has urged Mpundu to encourage his colleague, Mr. Banda, to provide a truthful account of the alleged abduction. Mwalimu believes that requesting President Hakainde Hichilema to place Banda under house arrest constitutes direct interference in the judicial process.
Since when did president Hichilema become arresting officer judge and jury. People please let us give the head of state respect. Him being kind is not a weakness. The opposition calling for this were used of ECL controlling the judiciary I think.HH has followers also and it pains us at the bad manners of some of the opposition. Let us debate with respect for the head of state and the previous one..
It is clear that the people calling for house arrest of JJ Banda are desperately trying to speak to him before the Police finish with him for reasons best known by themselves.
Calls for house arrest will be a mistake,as this will give chance to scriptwriters to change the narrative that he has given to the police.the chap shld be kept either at Mina soko or in cells and be interviewed there.the truth must come out.
