CHITOTELA WASN’T PRESENT AT THE CRIME SCENE, YET HE WAS ARRESTED WHILE PRESENT MARIA ZALOUMIS IS FREE
By Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa
I am outraged by the murder of an innocent person (take a minute to hear the cry of the victim’s mother in the attached video clip) and the police’s failure to arrest Maria Zaloumis for what I consider, based on an established pattern, to be ethnic regional considerations.
Those of us from the Zambezi region have a greater responsibility in calling out ethnic-regional favoritism because it is hurting the country. It shows through in every aspect and is so sad. I opposed this discrimination and selective application of the law under the PF and I remain opposed to these practices under the UPND.
In addition to the well known case of Ronald Chitotela who was not even present at the crime scene but is now in jail, there are the cases of Archbishop Alick Banda and former president Edgar Lungu who were victims of clear hate speech by people from Western and Northwestern provinces.
The culprits remain free. Emmanuel Banda was a victim of abduction by people from Southern Province whom he named as responsible for the ordeal. Police never even bothered to summon the accused for interrogation.
There are several examples of clear cases of sedition and corruption involving people from the Zambezi region under this administration who have not been arrested.
Yet similar offences have resulted in arrests and prosecutions when committed by Zambians from the Chambishi-Luangwa region. It is easy to see a pattern here, of selective application of the law based on ethnic regional considerations.
The police’s failure to arrest Maria Zaloumis in the latest case is a perfect example of a miscarriage of justice. She was at the crime scene and was recorded interrogating the murdered victim whilst his legs and hands were tied.
Even if she did not touch the young man, she had authority over all those involved in beating him and she never tried to stop the beatings even when the victim desperately pleaded. At the very least, that makes her an accessory or accomplice to the murder.
What is wrong with this man? So he can’t raise his concerns without bringing tribal connotations? That is why I have said it before, and I will say it again, the man is very dull, despite going to school. So, according to his warped thinking, if a tribal war started due to his careless talk, he thinks he would be spared by the other tribes? Instead of raising the concerns genuinely, he, as usual, goes tribal. Please grow up and start thinking properly.
This one smokes too much ganja.He has all the time writing divisive statements.He needs to be arrested.Fredom of speech should not be an opportunity for incitement
HaaMusonda, you can not arrest everyone that disagrees with the flawed reasoning of your messiah. What type of people are you? You think citizens are cows that follow the kachema blindly? Change your ways and learn to accommodate other views. Zambia does not just belong to you and your people. Just enjoy your immunity for now.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Where were you when evidence was being brought during Chitotela’s trial?
For an educated man this man exmplifies that he is uneducated and a dunce
Hamunkoyo will no doubt join you with his “never let the side down” Hallmark reasoning!!!!
Observer, just ignore this fraudster HaaMulenga from “Mpika”. The man has no shame trying to mislead people that he is Bemba. He is not comfortable in his own skin.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
On my Ballot in 2026 will be;
Hakainde’s Misrule
Deterioration of governance and democratic institution
The It’s our Time Philosophy
Nellie Mutti ‘s Parliament
Mumba Malila’s Judiciary
And indeed Inspector General Musamba’ s Zambia Police Service
My vote is made.
This regime doesn’t deserve another term!
Was Chitotela arrested on the same day? Maria is more like a complainant or victim at the moment. We see it in moves we’re by after some investigations, the complainant/victim also get arrested. Let’s leave the police do their job. Those arrested so far have a charge already before them.
Wako ni wako syndrome.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
You seem to know all the facts? You are talking like you were his defence lawyer! A reasonable lawyer who defend him and take it all the way to constitution court. The PF corrupt lawyers were just presenting themselves in court in the hope that Kasapa will just ask the Judge to give a lenient sentence. Chitotela is a criminal and he started going attending court cases under Lungu. In some cases he was even given a sentence not covered by the constitution if I am not mistaken. He the guy finish his sentence. He is as guilty as they come.
