Chilangwa deserves freedom, Lubinda weeps at funeral
THE EVER-angry makeshift PF leader Given Lubinda has poured out his frustration over what he called deliberate delays by the justice system to grant bail and a fair hearing to jailed former Kawambwa Central lawmaker Nickson Chilangwa.
Speaking at the funeral of Chilangwa’s father in Mansa, Lubinda told mourners that it was heartbreaking for a son to be locked up during a moment when he should be allowed to grieve and bury his own father with dignity.
John Chilangwa died on Thursday, but his son, a key PF figure currently serving time, was not present at the funeral due to what Lubinda described as ‘unfair judicial restrictions.’
The incarcerated former lawmaker mourns the death of his own father from behind bars.
“As far as we are concerned, Chilangwa deserves freedom. He was denied bail, pending appeal, and they are delaying hearing his appeal application,” Lubinda said.
“Today, Nickson Chilangwa is mourning his father and President Lungu in jail.”
He added that what is happening to Chilangwa is a reflection of what he believes is a broader campaign of persecution against PF officials.
Lubinda called on the justice system to act with fairness and urgency, especially in matters that touch on human dignity and family loss…https://kalemba.news/…/chilangwa-deserves-freedom…/

Says a man who went to Unilus to study law and doesnt seem to believe in the same laws that he went to study.
Chilangwa was convicted by a court of law. Let him face the same law that sought to undermine. Lets not abuse our positions and undermine the law for personal gain the way you were sharing public amenties and placing them in personal foundations in the public interest. But for self serving gain Lubinda.
Clearly your sight for political office is not to serve but to plunder
Chilagwa is a convicted criminal who is rightly serving his sentence after being convicted by a competent court of law. He can appeal on the grounds and strengths of his case. There’s no one in power under the constitution who can take him out. Stop pushing people to break the law. This is what you did with JJ and pushed for him to be charged with a wrong charge and ending up paying K250.00 and released. It now looks clear you were behind the Lungu family pushing to have the all criminal charges dropped before releasing Lungu’s body.
