The Lusaka High Court has rejected an application for bail by Former Ministry of Health permanent secretary Kashiwa Bulaya.
Dr. Bulaya had applied for constitutional bail pending appeal after the High Court upheld a three year jail term slapped on him by a Lusaka Magistrates Court on December 26 last year.
He was found guilty of abuse of authority of office when he irregularly awarded a contract to BUTICO A One of Bulgaria.
The contract was for BUTICO A One to supply Elixir 9 a herbal HIV/AIDS remedy amounting to over K3-billion.
Supreme Court Judge Marvin Mwanamwambwa sitting as High Court judge dismissed the application saying it had no merit.
Justice Mwanamwambwa maintained that Dr. Bulaya’s appeal has no chance of succeeding and that there will be no delay in disposing of the appeal if it goes to the Supreme court as claimed.
He said bail application is a discretionary relief and Dr. Bulaya is not entitled to it as a right.
The Judge said for the court to exercise its discretion to grant bail,the appeal must have three things which include, a chance of succeeding or whether it will take long to be heard because of the delay in preparing the record of appeal.
Justice Mwanamwambwa said the fact that Dr. Bulaya had been attending court trial while on bail is not an important consideration at this stage because during trial he was an innocent person and now he is a convict.
The Judge also said issues of Dr. Bulaya’s personal health and the possibility of contracting a communicable disease in prison are also not considered at this stage because he is a convict.

I didn’t know that all this was going on about Kashiwa Bulaya. Sad indeed. Please give him bail so he can skip the country like his pal Chungu. :-$
But why?l-)
Dyslexia yanigwila ati Kalusha bwalya My eyes told me. I was actually celebrating that they have started arresting useless zambian coaches
Aha no one likes jail!
Nambala, ah well won`t say! :d
#3 Anonymous you’re not the only one suffering from Dyslexia or Lagasthenie as the Germans say, naine wine pa first naci belenga ati “Kalusha Bwalya”. These names are really similar.
ThanKs LT
Now give me time to read through.Oh Lekeni first mfubile akabwali,I will comment later.
I think the man was pompas thats why things are proving to be difficult for him. Late him just save.
Justice Mwanamwambwa
Imwe ni |-)
I was going to say nambala four in four then I realised LT would not allow me to say nambala four :d:d:d
Iwe LT where is my comment? 8-|
Guy
To be frank with you cizungu canipita apa.What crime did this man commit? according to LT? Whose contract was it? which company did he award the contract to?
Please mwebaishiba icingeleshi help me icicena campita.
this man really wants to go down fighting!! i kinda like his fighting spirit but what he did was so wrong that i would recommend to the high court to increase his sentence so that he dies in jail.
LT you shold pull up your socks, i have just submitted my retyped comment but its no where to be seen.
If at all you are charging then i have never been told. Any am too tired to start again.
martworld taumfwa ukutemwa ka chize
ulwakutwa ukwiba, at i will give you the contract on condition i get commissions for every paid chq.wamona nomba
i mean ulwakutemwa ukwiba
No one wants to go to jail but he should have thought about what he was doing in the first place and he wouldn’t have been in this mess. I feel sorry for him but God is with him. I hope we will all learn not to abuse our authority in our offices where ever we are in the world.
pipo
Iam waiting for your answer to my question see #11
I think Bwalya is also waitin for the answer. Actually he was told that he will have to wait 3years in Jail. Let me read again :d
Justice!!!
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere- MLK
Keep him jailed the evidence against him is as obvious as Blagoyavich’s
Pipo.
This is where Iam confused.
He was found guilty of abuse of authority of office when he irregularly awarded a contract to BUTICO A One of Bulgaria.
The contract was for BUTICO A One to supply Elixir 9 a herbal HIV/AIDS remedy amounting to over K3-billion.
He is supposed to be jailed like 5 years-that’s nothing!
His friends bena Capt Solo are still locked-I think:-?
@ Mat!!!! It actually means that there were a number of other suppliers in Question. What he did was to favor this Company probably without considering the others, or without working taking the necessary steps in order to pick the right supplier. I believe he put the Bulgarians first because the offered him a little for his Pocket. It is live a minister offering Jobs to his relatives without considering the applications of his non relatives. Then it becomes obvious then we lock you up…. hope this helps
Jamaco
Thank you so much.May our good LOrd bless you as you continue enjoying life Ku Germany.Please pass my regards to the following pipo:The Chacellor Angela merkel,klinsman,Oliver khan,klose,Hitler,Lehman and christipher katongo.Tell them that Matworld from LT is greeting you. :-j:-j:-j:-j
As for you Bulaya just serve the sentence,infact count yourself lucky coz umulandu uyo ukulu sana.
Mat ! Thanks but I do not realate with all the Pips you mentioned. Although Merkels Politics affect may. I can not complain yes I also thank God. Tomorrow Ninchito again and it is -10°C Outside!! o goodnight
Bulaya your case is too big.And you are paying for your sins.Just concertrate on serving your 5 years Jail sentences.Ala Corruption Mudala ibi.No one is now talking about Nambala naninikane ka? Ala zanda LT guys.
Chewe
Mulifye bwino ka!
Hmmmmmmmmmmm ba jamaco naimwe that was a joke about greeting those people. Kwaliba ati I dont relate with those people? You do relate with Merkel teba kateka? Hilter tamwachita History mwebo? Elo Katongo come on man!
Okay na Nine Chale ni ba bululu!! You are right 😉
Well, if that’s the correct and legal way of handling case yaba Kashiwa, let’s applaude it. Judgement should be equal to everyone.
jumbo
Thanks dear,Ala bacingasuka I even failed to say anything.Iam happy that pipo like you can know that it was just a joke.Thanks once again.
Oh! Thank God for pipo like JUMBO,I can now go to sleep.Thanks Once again.
Eya nomba wasosa mune
Awe Mat dont go
Martworld Nice guy am very fine thanx.Gudnite boyi,you made me laugh the other day.
The plunder cases have lost meaning. Too much time and money have been spent with dismal results. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Kashiwa, kuzikonda…we ze kudya weka. Waona manje ya zandilatu, no bail ka!! This should serve as a solid example for those in higher offices. If I where them, I would think about improving prisons coz apa’ it looks like everyone of them is going to end up there at some point in the near future!! :-w
Zimbabwean soldiers are being given elephant meat for their rations says BBC
I meant to say if Zimbabwean soldiers are being given elephant meat for their rations who is Bulaya to complain?
Let me rest now, Jumbo and other guys enjoy blogging.bye!
Jumbo, if anything Elephant meat is a delicacy. I hope Kashiwa is not being treated any different.
I am a mixed race guy zambian ofcourse and want to know this .
I have a particular weakness for women with a big bottom and a pretty face. I am hardly alone. Most other black men in UK, the West Indies and zambia seem to be the same way. It is a huge part of the appeal of thick women.
But for me they turn me off completely, why dont all the sweet girls like ones i saw in the nightclubs in zambia when we were there think big bottom is good?
Why do most other guys prefer bigger bottom women?
Its not wonder very few african women win miss world etc. If you have a gf/wife please advise them the world has changed. its sickening, reduce your bottom if you can, its model like and more apealing.
🙁 Abragatabra!Close your eyes every one and make a wish. Eachone of you has yours and here is my wish:
Can someone change Bulaya into Chiluba kafupi so that his bail is also thrown to trash?:-? Maybe kuti twaupako Regina!
Ba Spectator epo mwaba? you have even made me wake up.I was sleeping.
Chewe how are you. Missed you man
#41 The ‘big bottomed’ women are attractive because they have child bearing features . Most men find them attractive because their qualities are that of high fertility.The world has not changed it’s agenda has. The perfect woman is not what your human nature tells you it is what the magazines and the media tell you. The media and magazines have a Gay agenda that they seem to be forcing down everyones throats , a perfect woman to them is one with the body of a 12 year old biy for instance kylie minogue or kate moss. Why do you think most fashion designers that choose models are homosexuals?
iwe spectator are you for real nama fuso wako? the things we have to be claen in our comments kaili ba LT banazanda. Besides its boring kaili there is no serious thread right now
Let Justice sing its song…
Lt I have just lost a friend in Zed. the gentleman has been very vibrant and intelligent. I think it is high time we spent time in research to avoid some of these deaths. It’s very pain to see people die at the age of 37 when the average life expentancy in most countries is 70 years. MHSRP
#spot on mate. Thick gals have no place in this morden society. No need to hire a forklift for madam when going places, the lean and well-toned dont even break a sweat doing a stroll. Easy innit!!
Anonymous Condolences!
We are like a fam here and home is far away.
Stay strong

Sorry! 37 yrs that was really short. God’s blessings
This is good. It will serve as a deterent. We need more convictions.
#48
R.I.P to your friend I can relate. I lost my uncle too because UTH refused to treat a simple problem involving high blood pressure. The nurses and doctors were so negligent that till this day I refuse to be treated at UTH because it is human abattoir. The professional standards of medicine are hopeless . If these people have no regard for human life why the hell are they in medicine.
What going round comes around. We are waiting for the Presidential immunity of Late Levy Mwanawasa and R.B to be removed so that the people saving under them can also go through corruption probes. Oil, copper scandals, rigging and illegal Task Force expenditure cases await them.
Its surprizing to see that most court cases have continued even under RB adminstration. I only hope something will be done even on Chiluba unless he asks for forgiveness like Levy wanted. Otherwise why forgive these folks if they cant accept there failures. Zambia would have been a better place to live in had it not been for these chaps. No wonder we have people migrating to all these places e.g U.K etc. Guys we want you back donot go forever Zambia needs you Amen

Guys on this blogg help me find the following people: wewewe,pumpy, wafwa Napanga, Luapula Fish and Undertaker.We are supposed to go to Tanzania this monthened. Because we have embarked on a serious save a life of an albino campaign.The parts of albinos are being used for rituals by witchdoctors in the above mentioned country,hence killing them like chickens.We have therefore declared war on these wichdoctors.So these guys i have named here are running away. Thats the reason why even undertaker bloggs once in a while.
Please people i plead with you help me find these guys: Wewewe,Pumpy, Luapula Fish,Wafwa Napanga and Undertaker ulepumwa kuli big Show nowardays. mwebekala chalo napata ngafweni ko ukusanga aba bantu.Amundigwashe ndakomba,anthu nonse nditandizeni napapata kwambiri.
TALEMA NAWO UYU MUNTHU. HE SHOULD JUST DO HIS TIME IN JAIL. WHY WASTE TIME TRYING TO GET OUT OF JAIL ON A STRAIGHT FORWARD CASE. I’M SURE DEFENCE LAWYERS HOWING HIS MONEY HE MADE FROM THE FAKE AIDS DRUGS PURCHASE, THEY WILL MILK HIM LEAVING HIM DRY.
Martworld you are an interlectual.The English is actualy wrong.The contract was for BUTICO A One to supply Elixir 9 a herbal HIV/AIDS remedy amounting to over K3-billion Should just have read
The contract WAS TO supply Elixir 9 a herbal HIV/AIDS remedy amounting to over K3-billion Should.Otherwise,it will mean tHE CONTRACT was BUTICO’S way from Bulgaria or was awarded to them by other authorities in Bugaria meaning Bulaya has no case to answer.
Yaba
This bail thing is only workable to people with money, they tend to ask for bail all the time, yet we have innocent people in cells and our prisons who are actually innocent.
The legal system seems not to give people what they deserve, but people with money tend to demand what they want and clearly the law in many cases does grant these requests.
I am able to link law, especially in Zambia, to golf. Golf is generally understood to be a game for the rich. In the same way it is clear that law of today is a game for the rich.
Goodmorning bloggers. Let the plunderer rot in prison !
Journey to Tanzania Part 1
hoo yes Chewe , am very willing and prepared to save the lives of innocent albinos. I have been underground most of the time coz i have missed a number of amazing friends like The Spectator and hardcore PF surpporters
It is good that the courts have denied bail to Bulaya, not that I am celebrating but because this serves as a way of showing that there is still some room that money should not buy justice all the time.
Justice now has become trade and a business. Rich guys buy justice they dont deserve through lawyers while the innocent poor do not get the justice they deserve because they have no money to buy it.
We have scenarios today where the innocent poor are put in prison while the rich offenders are declared innocent. The rich guy offends a poor guy, the poor guy is fined and sometimes with costs (to pay the rich offender) while the offender is declared innocent because he has bought justice.
morning bloggers!!!! recieve my >:d<^:)^ i cant believe that bulayas case is still pending..
The govt has a system of giving help to the poor through what is called legal aid. Now this system is on shelves and no one is serious about it. I believe the system must have been able to question itself when justice is denied of the poor. But no one seems to care, and whoever messes up is left free. It is like we are, especially zambia, a nation of much jokes. If we were to document what we normally do and produce movies, I think we would have better sales that Holywood. I will give another example, because I dont like pieces but whole picture of our attitude as a nation.
I see govt official lament that a contractor has abundoned work after being fully paid, and no one is punished.
People please supply answers. Sata has been talkingabout contracts for 41 or so Zambia Army officers for sometime now and now I am reading it in the POST. I know there are some bloggers who might have some first hand data because of all of the cobra’s complaints this features quite a lot but has not been explained in full.
I would like agree that most of the information Sata is giving out could be very vital because these issues were being done during Ciluba and Sata’s terms of office. Therefore, he is very likely to know exactly what was being done.
It is wrong to pay the fully pay the contractors before they complete the work.People awarding contracts are contravening the contractual procedures.It is also unfortunate that the authorities do not look at the wrong doing on both sides of the coin.
Bualya is a disgrace not only to this country but also to the medical call.Its tie to pay back what he owes us.
Bulaya deserves to rot in jail. Not only did he get huge commisions from the awarding of that contract….but the medicines had expired and were not fit for human consumption. We all know just how the AIDS pandemic has ravaged Zambia…..And if the people who are supposed to help, end up getting rubbish and commission…then even the 3 years he has been given is very little. Why do you think people have stopped dying of HIV/AIDS in other countries, yet Zambians, on treatment are still dying.
Kia-ora
Morning dear,That’s the info I was waiting for,but Lusaka left it out.Now Mr Bulaya Since Kia-ora has comfired what I was thinking you are sentenced to 20years with Hard labour.Iwe Bulaya cosa nsapato na belt uzakambira kusogoro,belenga apa “ZP” good uti ziba ife tizakucaya mambama kaa!! Ndimwe bamene mubweza ziko pambuyo.
Mister Bulaya you are very lucky Taylor’s son has been sentenced to 97years.so big man just serve the sentence.Just pray that you wont be someone’s wife. :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j
Poor Kashiwa,from a king to a convict.what a life!
Kia-Ora,Big up to you.You have made us remember this issue in depth.The whole issue has become even more painfull.I ma sure our feelings will be felt by Bulaya and his symphathisers.They must.I personaly will only take a sigh of breath when see this guy get married in prison suuffers from The VIRUS so that we can see if BUTICO A ONE will bring him some Herbal HIV remedy 8-x
awe uyu muntu ali generous ,he used to give mundo in the corridos.Give him a bail pliz pliz. :((
Morning Matworld. Your post is funny. You don`t mess about with Boma.
Kia-Ora Not everyone who has tested positive needs ARVs. I know of someone who tested positive in 1986 and he is still alive and not on treatment. There are a number of factors involved.
You are right Bulaya should have been given longer than the few years he is mourning about. The problem we have in Zambia is people have taken the law for granted for a very long time. To be honest even our president should have been questioned for the sugar he was donating during campaigns especially that he is no longer donating after wining the elections.
Ba Kashiwa should just come to terms with the state of things do the sentence.The longer he stays in denial the worse things will be for his health.He is complaining of his health now,is it more important than my brother,my sister,aunt,friends who died of HIVand AIDS whilst they were playing HIV Drugs cards?honestly these are none issues anyway.We have talked Kashiwa for longer than necessary he is a convict do not hate the man hate what he did at the expense of peoples lives.

Morning Ze biggy?
Allow me to sing a song for My beloved Bulaya.
The crimes you were commiting were being dropped,now this one wena you will be jailed.Bembe version,umulandu walepanga ose baaalekwelela heee nomba uyu waleta wena balekulonga.
Tabamulonge kano ngateine lawyer waba lawyer. 🙁
Luapula Fish how are you my dear? Long time,its good you have resurfaced.Kwashala aba bambi.Msng you what have you been upto? Martworld You wil be included on the Journey Na Nine Chale.Takuli Fya bu Nice guy uku tuleya ka.
This Kashiwa is even lucky to receive 3yrs jail sentence coz other people just for stealing a Chicken a serving a life sentence!! the crook i hear he awarded this contract to his fellow thieves,who brought in a huge quatity of the drug which was to expire within 6month-to one year.Judge Mwanamwabwa keep up the spirit!!! His worry of contracting a commumicable disease is a shame for him to even raise that,all Zambians are equal let him pay for his deeds,whats so special with him anyway??
Big bottoms, small bottoms, i love them all. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Cheerio Bambo malavingi.
ka kashiwa bulaya is probably reminiscing on the brief cases full of dollars he used to take to ftj at state house and over the ka grade 11 kabulonga girls secondary school pupil he married paja kudala. i’m sure he has now shed off his dressing gown for prison uniform. kazaphika jele ka nkhumba.
#71 Zambian President. ka kashiwa is not a medical doctor. he is a phd holder from bulgaria kwamene uku somewhere.
Give him some extra five years for wasting the courts time and ask him to repay the money.
People like Bulaya feel they are entitled to steal with impunity. They don’t care about the consequences of their actions. The thought that this man is still protesting his innocence should make any right thinking Zambian irate. Like Chiluba and a lot of these thieves, he clearly has no remorse.
I thought this was a dead issue! anyway, it serves him right.
ZAMBIAN Airways has suspended operations with immediate effect. The company announced that the airline had suspended operations to facilitate restructuring of the company due to operational problems.
bulaya…just go in. You are waisting time. Serve 4 years and then come and enjoy the money. But still I dont know if you will enjoy it since you are advanced in age. Any you ejoyed the money so let the money also do you fimo fimo.
umusalu wali pesamba……..
