President Rupiah Banda has pardoned 350 prisoners, including Darius Mukuka who was convicted to 18 months imprisonment for defaming him.
President Banda has since ordered the Minister of Home Affairs to remit the sentence slapped on Mukuku by Ndola Magistrate Court on March 18, 2010.
Mr. Mukuka is currently serving 18 month simple imprisonment at Kanseshi State Prison in Ndola.
President Banda in a letter to the Minister of Home Affairs said he has signed the Order of Release for the 350 prisoners.
The 350 prisoners who were serving various sentences have been released as part of the commemoration of Africa Freedom Day which falls on today May 25, 2010.
This is contained in a statement released by the president’s special assistant for press and public relations Dickson Jere.

…..Because he knows his time is coming soon and will also need the pardon. He seems smart on this one. :)>-
Darius MUKUKA, WAPULUMUKA CHIMUBEMBA IWE. Now concentrate on your katemba pa bbondi boyi. Verbal diarrhea won’t help you mbuye. I hope you have’nt contracted HIV na TB iwe Chimukuka. my advice is don’t trust any politician any more .ukabaposhe bamulamu is at all she is still waiting for you.but inchito yena inasila mbuye. please write if you need one on the farm.
This is a hallmark of true leadership being exhibited by His Excellency the President, Mr. Rupiah Bwezani Banda. I don’t see Michael “King Cobra” Sata doing such a thing. Forward with RB!:)>-

How come HH has not been charged to date for saying that Rupiah Banda has a small brain, which I am sure everyone knows is the truth or is it that there are two laws. I quote below:
“PRESIDENT Rupiah Banda has a small brain, UPND president Hakainde Hichilema charged yesterday.”
Good luck Darius mukuka you are a true hero,a true political prisoner ala epashili pakuleka.:-?
#6 Mule I agree with you this is playing double standards because HH can afford good representitive who would easily prove the accusation Ludicrous so only those who have no one to defend them shall face wrath. #4 senior Citizen your obvious MO can’t be disguised there’s nothing new about pardoning prisoners and this is only embarrassment at the fact that Zambian prisons are Officially filled to 600% capacity with pipo who stole bread n milk n while those who looted the nation are still at large..Justice really
The 300 are obviously and automatically recruited as MMD militias (watch out for the thriller, action packed-Mufumbwe part 2 movie)… Mr Bwezani is just reforcing the MMD with hard core and tested thugs….
#9 Aisha – you’ve made a good point.
