STAUNCH UPND MEMBER APPEALS FOR TEMPORAL RELEASE OF JAILED PF MEMBER
GEORGE MTONGA says FORMER Minister Nickson Chilangwa went to prison and the Luapula expo died. When you render justice the deeds of a man and that of his crime must be taken into account.
For the crime vs what Nicholas did for Luapula, i do think he deserves a chance to bury his wife.
Again this is not the law neither is it a right, its a burden of request placed on the conscience of the nation and its leaders.
In my world, given my values and considering the crimes he is in prison for and the deeds he has done, i would grant him that time to mourn his wife. If at all just attend the burial.
Staunch UPND member? Didn’t this buffoon resign from UPND a while ago…
He already resigned that useless man
The law and the constitution are supreme. You can’t start making exceptions on emotions because the person involved is close to you. Don’t force people to break the laws in order to accommodate your friends. Otherwise you turn the nation into lawlessness it becomes a kangaroo court and very selective. How many people have lost their loved ones while in prison and didn’t have a chance to pay their last respects. That’s why it’s prison. You lose your liberties . The is no law to accommodate that. The prisons will require extra personnel to handle those logistics and will require a budget adjustment. The message is when you are enjoying liberties make informed decisions so that you maintain your personal liberty at anytime.
Perfectly said…bwana.
Staunch Member…my foot!
Which Mtonga George is a staunch Member of UPND?
He openly resigned!
He is no longer with UPND Party.
Who didn’t hear?
The true colours of this turn coat are now revealed.
Akafumba the Barotse activist had his wife killed. Did you plead for him to attend the funeral or was he not a Zambian. This nonsense of thinking that others are more important whilst we are all Zambians should stop. A convict has offended society and should be treated as such. Convict Chilangwa is a Zambian and a human being. His relatives and family should talk to prison authorities to allow him to attend the funeral. Stop politics on matters of bereavement.
