LAURA MITI MUST RESIGN FROM THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION..so that can freely praise and defend President Hichilema- Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba
..so that can freely praise and defend President Hichilema without hiding her views in the jacket of a member of the board of the Human Rights Commission…
Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba
It is extremely shocking that a member of the Human Rights Commission Board in Zambia could rise and condemn a Report of the United Nations on the state of human rights in Zambia.
Clearly, it is time that Laura Miti resigned as a Commissioner of the Human Rights Commission so that she can continue to serve, praise, and defend President Hakainde Hichilema without shame or hindrance.
Time and time again, she is engaged in bitter social-media fights with those keen to expose President Hichilema’s abuses, corruption, failures and shortcomings. Lelo ca mutwala kuli ba UN!
It is now clear that persons like her, sitting in critical oversight and democratic institutions, are so partisan and blind to the abuse and suffering of Zambians, that they unashamedly stymie even the expression of such abuses although it is their constitutional duty and mandate to do so.
I noticed a misguided tone in their defense against this Report by both Cornelius Mweetwa and Laura Miti, whereby they think the UN Report is ill-informed, distant, and therefore misdirected
But do we not know? That the UN and all its agencies are here in Zambia?
Further, the UN collaborates closely with institutions such as the International Monetary Fund ( IMF) and the World Bank Group,who also have country offices and resident representatives in the country.
The United Nations is a 193-member organisation. Why would a Report single-out Zambia?
It is because it is warranted as the sad development in Zambia, if left unchecked coukd send the country off its rails.
The situation in Zambia, the abuse of human rights and entrenchment of a dictatorship is NOT and is no longer in dispute.
Laura Miti might need to familiarise herself with recent and various media statements of concern issued by; the Law Association of Zambia, 12 NGOs led by Chapter One Foundation, Pastoral Statements from the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops ( ZCCB), Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) and the Christian Council of Zambia (CCZ).
These statements decried the shrinking democratic and media space, the constitutional breaches by the President and his government, the wanton human rights abuses especially committed by the Zambia Police, the stiffle of democracy abd divergent views in Parliament, the systematic harrasment of the Opposition and the severe attack on the multiparty nature of our country, the sudden rise in large-scale acts of corruption and the looting of the Treasury.
Laura Miti has, instead,chosen to remain silent amidst the human rights crisis in Zambia and praises President Hichilema at every time but is obsessed with viciously attacking the former President, Edgar Lungu and the former ruling party.
Even when we listed the number of clergy that have been arrested, Laura doesn’t see it.
Even when we list disruptions to church services that took place, she ignores it.
It’s time we demanded that persons like Laura Miti resign from oversight institutions so that a modicum of genuine work could be done under this heightened dictatorship.
UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEURS
There are in the UN, mechanisms to take care of either a country’s specific issue or of thematic issues in every part of the world.
Among those mechanisms,
are the special rapporteurs.
Special rapporteurs are in charge of holding inquiries into violations and to
intervene on specific issues or urgent situations.
They, therefore, play an
important role in the protection of human rights.
They are independent. Their mission is to
study and draft a report on a country’s situation about a human right issue.
For that purpose, special rapporteurs visit countries. They can decide to visit a
State for themselves or further to specific allegations about human rights violations related to their mandates.
Special rapporteurs use a wide variety of information’s sources.
They conduct part of their research in concerned countries, discuss with authorities and victims, and collect proofs on the ground.
After their visit, the holder of special
procedures’ mandates presents a mission report with his conclusions and recommendations.
Special rapporteurs receive information from different sources including: governments, intergovernmental organisations, non-governmental
organisations, victims of human rights violations, and witnesses.
When they receive reliable information on a human rights’ violation related to
their mandate, they can discuss directly with the governments concerned.
Last week, the UN Special Rapporteurs of the Human Rights Council published a condemnation of the rapid decline of democracy and infringements on Human Rights in Zambia.
Ba Mwamba grow up and stop barking unnecessarily. Why did u not resign as Zambia’s AU representative before coming to campign for ECL in 2021? when ECLs cadres were busy beating people around, holding siege to high court Judges, urinating in the mouth of journalists, invading central police to beat up police officers, firing live ammunition at innocent citizen and murdering innocent people why did u Mwamba not resign? The helicopter carrying the current veep nearly crushed when your cadres were throwing missiles at it, opposition leaders were basically under house arrest, why did u not resign Mwamba? Its being delusional and myopic for Mwamba to call for Laura resignation. Infact Emmanuel need to answer some questions over the death of FTJ
Mr. Mwamba introspection is very important.
1. The articles that you write, the visits that you make who do they serve? The PF members that broke the law?
Do you know that you are not allowing them to do the very reason they are arrested or imprisoned?
Do you know that you enbrozen and fail to realise that the very article and violation of human rights that you suggest of Laura Miti, you do right here and the lies you tell?
As yourself why you do what you do? And for years you have been doing this.
Just yesterday you wrote here YOUR perspective on a daily mail article, are you the editor of this website? Tell us so we know that this is just a mouth piece of the PF and is skewed in its messaging.
2. Very person that has been arrested including you. Have been charged and the charge is connect to an act that infringes on the law. How then is that a violation of a human right?
Mr. Mwamba, you resisted arrest and in the process showed us the bruises you got. Do you know that resisting arrest is a criminal offence. Not just the assult that the officer suffered in the process. Are you then suggesting that you are above the law? As all the offences listed are in the penal code and in any circumstance you would be in jail.
3. Edgar Lungu made threats to civil servants that he would deal with them when he comes back into power. Has he been elected? Is threats of intimidation or violence not an infraction of the law? What right does he have to even suggest that? Arent civil servants not just discharging what I have outlined above? So they should turn a blind eye, because they are dealing with a Politician? Do you suggest that we not equal before the law?
Mr. Mwamba you have suggested lies on this platform. Hence the recent charge. In being in the opposition you have failed to raise issues appropriately instead sought to cast apirations and incite the public as this article does of Laura Miti, as if Laura Miti is Transparency International, Law Association of Zambia, but just one Commissioner of the Human rights commission whose opinions in that organisation we have not known but for the collective opinion. Please stop attacking individuals for their personal positions on things just as you dont seem to have one yet act under the guise of PF to agititate on and infringe on the rights of Zambians, you want to appeal to using illegal means.
Laura Mitti has always been speaking her mind on any issue concerning our nation. She has never been bent by any situation whatsoever. She is always upright.
I think for Emmanuel Mwamba to rush for Laura Mitti to resign is just insect noise without proper lense but short sighted – myopic.
Mwamba in all fairness is a disgraced finished would have been senior civil servant who is always dreaming even when he is walking, of what to lie and misinterpret the truth and always plant lies and counterfeit stories if not issues. This is the mind of Satan and Lucifer. Very dangerous person to have in society because of his character. No wonder even towards 2021 general elections he even left the mission in Ethiopia jus to come and involve himself in evil practices which by the grace of God didn’t even work hence always moving in denial and sinful nature.
Yes, (without even reading your article) in the first two years of UPND in government for example the opposition were not permitted to have political rallies by the POLICE though they continued having press conferences and freely moving from one radio and TV stations to another without being curtailed.
However, Verily, on these issues Laura Mitti spoke openly condemning UPND government and the Police for blocking the opposition to have rallies but instead they should allow them – the opposition to have rallies so that they can also tell citizens on what they intend to do. Go into the archives, you will definitely find this or these story/stories clearly in black and white. But one time when you Emmanuel Mwamba, When you tried to entice Laura Mitti on your Podcast program, but when Laura Mitti spoke openly in your eyes to say, HH and ECL it’s like day and night and she went on to tell you that we are better off with UPND than PF because we don’t know where we would have been now if PF had won the 2021 elections., “Kaya Cabe”, she stated.
Now, even the arrests that we are seeing especially having the majority PF members being arrested, it’s worth it and they deserve it because they stole, others misbehaved, others killer and maimed citizens and hence, being good candidates for prison. No doubt about it. But It’s not everyone in PF who is being investigated and prosecuted it’s those who went against the law. Talk of Abena bonanza Malanji, talk of Abena Commander or is it America 2. Talk of Abena Chitotela who were first arrested by PF itself but because of the ACC law that you amended as PF to surrender what one stole and then let that particular individual free. He Chitotela was found in this situation while PF was in power but he didn’t surrender all only K100,000.00 if I am not mistaken. In short he is a thief, known minister then thief. Very shameful indeed and he was one of the vocal person to pretend to be a saint when he is or was the master minder.?
Some ministers in PF committed many atrocities and should be answerable to if not for all that they did while in Office presiding over the affairs of the nation. So, if these people are being followed to explain what they did, is that persecution? No. then you the great propagandist who is always on social media, radios and TVs spreading lies even going to the extend of lying to international bodies that people’s rights and the opposition is being infringed by the government? where? There’s nothing like that and it will not stop but to continue. Look at your Edgar; always being found on the wrong from his mouth. Walking in the streets of Lusaka in the company of urinator sick JJ Banda; Aya faula, Ku rally at changanamayi grounds in Kitwe, aya faula, Ku DUNAMIS Church nomunankwe, Dan Pule, Aya faula, Ku Samfya rally ( Yabaaaa, Na counterfeit red carpet. Still dreaming and living in the past) Aya faula. It’s every where. Look at Freddie every time niupunka fye then. at human rights infringement. Kwisa? Sorry!!!!
Otherwise, fighting corruption continues, wrong doers to always be visited by the law while others are faking sickness and running away, but what is done right will not be replaced by fake wrong that is being planted by wrong doers. No.
Laura Mitti is one person who can not be easily be shaken by evil or anything. She always stand for the truth and right. Otherwise you can’t match her with lies and propaganda. Never from where I see her unless otherwise.
Laura and Pilato got compromised.
We now know that they were never really human rights activities, but just hungry people craving a cushy government job.
The real activists are Sangwa and Sishuwa.
Vote wisely in 2026.
If they are comprised because the offered to serve Zambians and still are able to critical when government in private to build government for the people of Zambia, they are a damn sight better humans compared to people that see no ering with criminals that stole from Zambians, and left us in the state where we grappling with a myraid of issues.
With the log in their eyes want to point at the INVISIBLE spec in my eye, that doesnt exist but tireless and daily try to give the impress it does.
What does the Defunct TuPF criminals know about activism when Pilato was forced to hold a protest in the bush?
Just shut up
Vote wisely vote for HH7 in 2026/31
Mwamba, weren’t you among the people that used to defend anything and everything that the PF used to do whilst in power? Didn’t PF extpel US Ambassador Foote for expressing his opinion on the stiff punishment meted to people prosecuted for gayism while some politicians engaged in grand corruption were freely roaming the streets of Lusaka?
Isn’t PF on record of condemning Western Nations but how have you suddenly agreed with the UN report? Is it because the report seems to favor your agenda? Today you condemn the US for strengthening it’s military relationship with the current government but tomorrow you run to them to complain about abuse of human rights.
What principles, morals and values do you really stand for? Anyway I personally evaluate you as an opportunistic person who is thirrsty to be in power in order to benefit himself from public resources.
