Soldiers Pick Katele Kalumba from Chiengi
Breaking; A horde of soldiers have stormed the home of former Minister of Finance Katele Kalumba in Chiengi district and have taken him away to an unkown destination.
Kalumba has recently been issuing critical statements against the incaceration of Liberal Democrat Party President, Xavier Chungu, has condemned matters related to the stolen election and has issued pleas for President Hakainde Hichilema to release those incacerated on trumoed up and concocted treason charges.
In August 2023,after President Hakainde Hichilema granted him a pardon on medical grounds, the Zambia Correctional Service (ZCS) released him on medical grounds and confirmed that he suffered from severe, multiple health complications—including heart failure and a spinal injury—and had been frequently hospitalized at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
Details later.
I had accorded a lot of respect to Dr Katele Kalumba previously. I think it was misplaced respect and I now withdraw it. If all these stories that appear in the media attributed to him which I believe they are because he has never refuted anything then I think we were led by crooks and people full of self interest. Look at Shinono! At his age and stage considering what he has been through what is he trying to achieve? Was he promised a position by Mundubile? And what exactly was he going to do in government??? Let him face the music.
Yes, we all know he was pardoned on medical grounds. Because of who you are Emmy, you mentioned some ailments his battling with but deliberately excluded the acquired one. Be exhaustive in you writing.
So from his hiding hole. The ŵriter was able to factually report that Katele was picked up?
With all due respect, how can Mwamba know this for a fact?
He was told. And if he was. Are we suppose to accept this as factual?
People feeding Mwamba these stories need to be dealt with once and for all. We cant have stories that lack fact circulating. Journalists ought to know better.
If this is true, it is self-inflicted. There was video.
