Citizen’s Forum says the conviction of post newspapers editor in Chief is a clear indication that the MMD government is desperate to hold on to power.
Forum Executive Director Simon Kabanda said that those who are not patriotic, the enemies of this country, who are also delight in stripping the country of its resources, people who don’t care about the common good, are now celebrating.
Mr. Kabanda said there have been several schemes, plans and attempts to crush M’membe and The Post adding that just before the last presidential by-election, there were open warnings and signals that The Post newspapers would be crushed soon.
Mr. Kabanda noted that the conviction of Mr. M’membe is a confirmation that they want to humiliate him and the post.
He added that people behind the conviction will never succeed, but have only managed to succeed in one thing and that is to demonstrate how desperate they are in their quest to continue their hold on to power.
Mr. Kabanda has wished Mr. M’membe good health and urged him to pray for people that have sent him to prison saying that they do not know what they are doing.
In an open later to M’membe dated 5 June and made available to QFM, Mr. Kabanda said that in the wake of the conviction over an allegation of contempt of court, he decided to write to him to uplift spirits.
He commends the post editor in chief of being a true patriot who has fearlessly given himself to the service of Zambia.

Who is the govt advisor? Please there is a proper way of doing things. Propaganda like this one has never worked accross the world only to the advantage of the vitimised or prisoned. People are sympathising with anyone M’membe speaks highly about.
Come on people, this is as simple as 1+1.
Anyway, this will happen to all of you come 2012.
Mr. Kabanda please stop annoying us with these baseless accusations. Why are you being selective with justice? Are you saying some people are more equal than others? RUBBISH.
Mr Capitalist is the shooting of a youth by Dr Musonda being just? people have been calling for his arrest but he is still being protected by Govt, so in my view in Musonda’s case some people are more equal than others. God is not sleeping, one day He will bring judgement on all the unjust.
#2 You are confused and illiterate. You dnt need an extra sense to see that everything is wrong in zambia. Mufumbwe brutality how many mmd cadres have been arrested? The attempted murder, where is Musonda? The acquital of chiluba and sentensing of his wife and katele does it make sense to you? the sale of zamtel will it benefit zambia by having 25% share. Man you dnt need people to comment the way have done, but jst apply logic and think. dnt be biased because of anythin this is country which is dangerously being run. can you imagine william banda taking over the role of IG instructing the cadre to go and protect chiluba and brutalise people in mufumbwe? Man you are shallow and trivial.
Mr. Capitalist
You are one of the people tha are not patriotic, the enemies of this country, who are also delight in stripping the country of its resources, people who don’t care about the common good. Mushibila Insala
What sheer rubbish.Does kabanda know what contempt of court is?This has nothing to do with the MMD but the JUDICIARY.God save us from the likes of Kabanda.
And what patriotism is there in breaking the laws of the land?
Typical PF thug.
Imagine if M’membe was the one who shot an MMD cadre.He could have been sentenced to death.Contempt of court is a bailable offense but what happens, they all run way just to make sure he sleeps in jail until monday.I can asure you all who are following these instructions blindly that you will pay dearly because the PACT will bring sanity and JUSTCE in 2011
Too many semi-iliterates on this blog like this misfit # 4 admirer of Kafupi. You cant call your friends who use their brains for thinking to be iliterate when you cant tell a cupcake from a loko banzi ! What has the case of contempt of court got to do with your pf politics… The prosecutors will not allow fools like you to bullshit on the law of the land . . .even a grade 2 chap can understand what offense Mmembe committed and mind you there is a possibility of increasing the setence on appeal . . . why? the misfit is a lwayer!!
**== whats in the mind of elders of this country. the youth have very few to look upto and thats the reason why they are busy infecting themselves with hiv because politicts dont make sense. we need a break.
