M’MEMBE CALLS FOR EQUAL TREATMENT OF ALL CITIZENS AFTER BEING ORDERED TO LEAVE MUKOBEKO
Kabwe… Sunday, September 1, 2024
Socialist Party – SP President Fred M’membe has called for the equal treatment of all citizens.
Dr. M’membe said he was surprised when he was told to leave Mukobeko Maximum Prison in Kabwe without handing over food items to incarcerated Hon Nickson Chilangwa and Hon Ronald Chitotela.
He noted that people who arrived after him were attended to while he was kept waiting.
Dr. M’membe expressed sadness that he was eventually ordered to leave the premises with his belongings.

We don’t trust you guys anymore, you may give prisoners an escape map or even poison then say its the government. Well done Mukobeko management for thinking ahead.
Visiting for the sake of scoring political points.
In prison, they don’t allow sharing foods anyhow, even those who bring food are asked to taste it before they hand it over. So how do you leave food to others who have also their own food? The day they will leave, they will also carry everything which belongs to them, they won’t be allowed to leave the foods for anyone there. With this aflatoxin issue around killing dogs, sharing food has become a very sensitive issue, no wonder you were not allowed to give them to anyone.
The authorities have shown you, M’membe, that you are nothing despite your sharp tongue.
It is high time political visits to prisons are banned. Leave the prison authorities to do their work. Donot turn prison premises into a political arena.
Genuine visitors donot go to visit prisons with a horde of journalists and photographers and splash the news on social platforms. Their good deeds are done in secret and and the left hand doesnot know what the right hand is doing.
I commend the prison authorities for turning away Dr. M’membe. We should not be playing political games with prisoners.
