NAKACINDA JAILED 18 MONTHS FOR DEFAMING HH

By Darius Choonya

Patriotic Front faction Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda has been sent to prison for defaming Republican President Hakainde Hichilema.

Mr. Nakacinda has been jailed 18 months imprisonment with hard labour for accusing the President of having summoned judges to his house to persuade them bring a one party state.

His allegations were amidst a hearing of a judicial review application by some eight PF members of parliament who had challenged Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti ‘s decision to chase them from parliament after the nullification of their seats.

For now, Mr.Nakacinda remains in custody and it remains unclear whether he will appeal both his conviction and sentence.

  1. Dont worry fikaba bwelela ba Upnd for bringing so many problems and divisions in the country. Even chiefs are very annoyed with what is going on. Anyway Lesa wamaka, it will come to pass. But Upnd will reap what they are sowing very soon.

    • Kkkkkkkkkk actually it is them who are reaping what they sowed kkkkkkkkkk remember what they did to HH and five others kkkkkkkkkk, ba mukuka wake-up from slumber and be a good person, please stop supporting the wrong people, follow what is right my dear friend.

  2. Nakachinda’s mouth is a danger to himself!
    It was careless talk to accuse Judges of such a serious crime which he failed to substantiate in court!
    The Bible says “Thou shalt not make false claims against anyone!”
    It’s a timely lesson to careless mouths!

    • Nakacinda has spent his first night in prison. He’s already up and cleaning the bathrooms. It’s the only thing that can make him reflect properly on how he should practise politics. I really hope he’s going to appeal his conviction so that there’s a High Court precedent.

  4. Raphael Nakacinda yapped himself to jail. If the PF legal committee cared a fig about the party’s reputation, it could have quietly rendered advice to Nakacinda. Those judges he was accusing of meeting HH in order to ensure that a defacto one-party state was created have no way of answering back his lies. Let him appeal if he feels justice has not been done by the Magistrates court. In the High Court he will meet one of the judges he accused of secretly meeting HH. I think Nakacinda’s appeal will be interesting to follow.

    • Given that he failed to prove his allegations in court, I doubt that his appeal will be successful. I am also of the view that he might actually get a stiffer penalty in the higher courts.

      On a lighter note, the binoculars failed him this time around. I wonder how many times the gadget has misled him.

  6. This is a very good lesson to people who have no regard for laws of the land. We must restrain ourselves from excess bitterness. We should be careful with political business. The next fellow will be Fred. Don’t say it’s HH ! It’s the rule of law at work.

  8. Defamation is an arcane, stupid and easily manipulated charge. This does nothing to help.
    I would prefer they focus on actual CRIMES (like theft and tax evasion) and convict on those. There the courts fail lamentably.

    • Sir, even just insulting in a crime. Its in the penal code. It is the law. Whatever you may think about the law. Its is the law of land. Break it the law will visit you.
      The bible has the 10 commandments. Does it mean that any one of those commamdmemts is less than the other? Lets not make suggestions that belittles one law on another defamation was a crime when Nakachinda broke the law. Let him do the time.

  10. Bye bye nakachinda. Make sure you take your binoculars with you so that you can see the rest of us enjoying our freedom outside while you languish inside.

  11. I don’t think he has anyone to blame apart from himself. Let him enjoy the beans mu ndende, kunkala mu amuna niku limba.
