Jay Jay’s family shocked at govt’s failure to extradite him
By Esther Chisola
Lawyer representing fugitive former Petauke-Central member of parliament Emmanuel Jay-Jay Banda, Kennedy Mambwe, says his client’s family is shocked at the failure by the government to bring him after informing the nation that they know his whereabouts.
In August this year, Banda was reported to have escaped from lawful custody by jumping through the window of Chipata General Hospital’s third floor.
A search was conducted across the nation with a K2 million bounty placed on his head for whoever would find him.
And in November this year, Home Affairs and Internal Security minister Jack Mwiimbu informed the nation that Banda was found and detained by authorities in Zimbabwe and arrangements were underway to have him extradited to Zambia.
Mwiimbu, at an urgent media briefing, also told the nation that some of Banda’s family members, particularly his wives, were able to visit him at his hiding apartment in Zimbabwe.
But in an interview with Daily Revelation over the weekend, Mambwe said Banda’s family were still waiting for their son to be brought back to them as promised by the government.

We have amateurs in government.
This is what happens when you persecute innocent people.
Our good neighbours will look after all political refugees. Thank you.
Even most of these conmen in UPND will flee to Zim after 2026, while their boss will flee to Panama.
Umulandu taubola.
Vote wisely in 2026.
The family of Jay Jay Banda are hypocrites and fooling the public. It is nonsensical to blame the government for failure to extradite their fugitive son who ran away for fear of facing justice.
Jay Jay Banda under the PF regime was among thugs who took the law into their own hands because they became the law themselves. All the drama surrounding Jay Jay Banda is planned and people with criminal minds will suffer the consequences of wrongdoings and that is exactly what is happening to Jay Jay Banda.
It is now the responsibility of the family to bring back their fugitive son to Zambia than asking the government extradite him. The statement they have issued is a mockery. Evil deeds breeds evil and evil when is exposed to light and the truth evil is always conquered.
