RE: PERRMISSION TO CONDUCT A PRIVATE PROSECUTION – THE PEOPLE
V MILES BWALYA SAMPA AND MORGAN NGONA

I refer to your letter dated 28th November, 2023 regarding the above captioned
matter.

The contents therein are duly noted.

Upon careful perusal of your request including the documents enclosed, I regret
to advise that consent to prosecute this matter cannot be granted because of
current civil proceedings in the High Court of judicature of Zambia bearing on
the same subject matter.

This office is ever so mindful of the need to maintain the integrity of the judicial system and the need to prevent and avoid abuse of
the legal process.

Kindly be accordingly informed.

Just eat humble pie. Miles Sampa is PF President. It’s time for Matero to be respected as it should be. I will go home and campaign for him come 2026. Nangu muchite Shani the boat is going back to the original owners not imposters, jerabos, Gunyu Masakas and hijackers.
