Lusambo’s lawyer wonders why a child named after Lungu should be homeless
BOWMAN Lusambo’s lawyer, Charles Changano, is questioning why the court would want to leave his client’s children homeless, when one of the children is named after a former president who had done a lot for the country.
Changano has lamented that the magistrate did not consider any of the mitigating factors presented by the defence when sentencing his client to three years in prison.
Earlier this week, the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court sentenced Lusambo to three years’ imprisonment after finding him guilty on two counts of possessing property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime.
During mitigation, Changano asked the court for leniency, noting that one of Lusambo’s children was even named after late former president Edgar Lungu,
So many clowns in our nation. And they all operate via our laws.
Imbwa imwe, bakabwalala mulenya mulelapila. Tuli busy naimwe bayaya. Everyone who stole a cent from us Zambians will be in jail. Iwe Findlay chakuti chakuti you are next for using our presidential aircraft for your personal errands. Penitentiary is your home after leaving us in penury. Lekeni mbomfye ne fisungu ifikalamba mwembwa mwe.
Lusambo’s wife was not imprisoned so she can provide for child. Lungu died that is if it’s indeed true that he’s dead as the biggest criminal worse than armed robbers. He got into government to steal and nothing else. The people he appointed into government shared the his position. That’s why Sata had said he had useless ministers. While Sata indeed wanted to serve, the rest of his crew just wanted to loot. You can tell from the infighting when they realised that Sata didn’t have long to live. You can tell by how Guy Scott was treated.
I have often wondered why Mr. Sata surrounded himself with highly questionable characters. Can two walk together unless they agree?
Was he really that innocent? He had so much trust in Mr. Lungu he at one time gave him three portfolios. It was the genesis of the PF nightmare.
