Whilst BaKambwili has appealed against the conviction, the DPP has appealed against the 5 months sentence.
According to the laws of Zambia, Hate Speech carries a maximum sentence of 3 years, while BaKambwili was given 5 months.
Most of the times when are sentenced, the time of serving is reduced after some consideration of good behavior.
If BaKambwili had not appealed, he would have most likely served 3 months, which means he would have been out by February 2024.
This sentence of 5 months wouldn’t have affected BaKambwili’s political career because it is less than 6 months.
However, with this development, if the conviction is upheld, the sentence might be revealed and it could be more. With the appeal of the DPP, it makes things even worse.
If I were him (CK) I would withdraw the appeal and serve the 5 months just to avoid taking chances, looking at the evidence and the political standing of the big man.
In future you may have to refer to this article.
TAYALI THE PUBLIC LAWYER OF THE PUBLIC COURT OF OPINIONS!!!
Kambwili is staring at 2 years with very hard labour. The evidence against him in that hate video is overwhelming and sickening actually. The ape needs to have his testicles squeazed until he quirks. Azamuziba Bally. Smart President that one
Chilufya Tayali is actually a very clever operator. What he is saying can only be discerned by someone with wisdom.
Somehow Kambwili was given an opportunity that would leave him with his credibility still intact and no criminal record.
But CK with his lack of wisdom decides to appeal the case and sentence due to pride instead of just serving jail to end it all.
With all that indisputable evidence, the High Court will have no problem giving him a longer and stiffer sentence. This is an appeal that will completely finish Kambwili’s political career. And he will certainly regret it. Wisdom is indeed rare especially in politicians.
Kambwili chipuba
Don’t put hopes in assumptions. Drive the process yourself and with another jury , Kambwili can get an acquittal.
The DPP hasn’t appealed the subordinate Court’s sentence because Kambwili appealed. He was going to appeal any which way because the government felt the sentence was light.
Situations change , and what today is being seen as hate speech will some day be seen in a different way.
So let CK exhaust the due process, and some day , and I know it is coming, justice will be given to him. There are no special tribes in Zambia.. whoever talks about the behaviour of the ‘ holy’ tribe is accused of hate. But when them talk about other tribes in a similar way, it is love. What kind of double standards are these? We have eyes and can see.
