Liswaniso blames IG for Jay Jay disappearance
GILBERT Liswaniso, has blamed Inspector General of Police Graphael Musamba for the disappearance of Emmanuel Jay Banda, who was arrested and charged for aggravated robbery soon after surviving an abduction.
The safety of Mr. Banda has become a national concern, considering the fact that it is not clearly established whether he escaped or mysteriously disappeared, after he was abducted about three months ago.
But Police have claimed that Mr Banda escaped from lawful custody at the hands of five law enforcement officers at Chipata General Hospital this month and his whereabouts have remain unknown.
“Now, we are questioning here, the assurance has been given by the Minister Jack Mwiimbu) for Home Affairs and Internal Security. But is he safe, in as much he is assuring us. I am talking about it. I am a young person.
I am speaking on behalf of the youths here. The one who was killed is a youth, the one who has run away is a youth. How does somebody run away and then you are seated in the command, mwankala bonse (you are all seated),” Mr Liswaniso said.
What do you want the IG to do, didn’t he provide security for him? So if the people assigned to Guard him are corrupt accepted the few silver how do you blame the IG or the Minister
I don’t think Mr Liswaniso is blaming IG for the disappearance of JJ.I just believe he was just misquoted.IG is not the one who was guarding and that is not his job.How safe JJ is matters especially his health because he escaped from hospital where he was being treated.But choice of that individual is not to be overlooked.He could have judged himself over his case.He weighed the chances of being acquitted to serving prison sentence if it had to come.Now as human beings our concern must be on health.We may not know if where he has gone there is proper medical provision.Zambian correctional facilities don’t deny inmates their rights to medical treatment.For now let us avoid blame game on each other apart from those who were assigned to guard him and nurse him and not hospital staff.
