POLICE in Lusaka has summoned second Republican president Frederick Chiluba’s press aide Emmanuel Mwamba in relation to a contempt order issued by Judge Gregory Phiri.
Mr Mwamba confirmed in Lusaka yesterday that a call out was yesterday delivered at his house at around 16:00hours and he would appear before the police as soon as he returned to Lusaka after attending to a family bereavement.
Last week Mr Justice Phiri ordered that the editor of the Zambian Watchdog and author of contemptuous articles on the site be brought before his court for contempt charges.
This followed an application by Bonaventure Mutale, the lawyer representing one of the suspects Mathew Mohan who said the analysis was prejudicial to the proceedings in court and pleaded with Mr Justice Gregory Phiri that the author and publisher be cited for contempt.
This was in a case in which Inktech Managing Director, Mathew Mohan, and his two co-accused, Idris Patel and Shabir Patel, have been charged with the murder of Cyclone Hardware Director, Sajid Mohammed Itowala.
Mr Mutale submitted that the blog-based articles, published on October 22 and November 2, 2010, were not only a serious on-slaught on the judiciary but also on the administration of justice in the country.
The first article was titled “The plot thickens” and the second one was titled “Mathew Mohan:Has his testimony done anything to the judiciary.”
Earlier, Post managing editor Amos Malupenga in his letter copied to Mr Justice Phiri and the Inspector General of Police Francis Kabonde challenged Mwamba to deny that he was the author of the said documents published on the Internet and were allegedly against The Post and other people.
Mr Mwamba had earlier refused to comment on the matter stating that he would not fall in the trap set by The Post and stated that the malicious letter from Malupenga was based on hearsay and innuendoes and the false accusations contained therein were misdirected at him.
the chap has finally been caught..you ve tried to come out smart all these years..
It is time Dr. Chiluba took a back seat and leave politics to those who are supposed to participate. His cases are over so I dont see why he has continued to drag himself in the mud and slime of this dirty game.
Now the plot thickens for him. Hes in trouble!!
The Plot has thickened for him instead!
you would think all those years he spent in court rooms with his boss taught him a lesson or two, now its chiluba to escort him for moral support
Rubbish,
Mwamba will deny all the allegations and since there is no evidence against him, the police will simply have to let him go.
no comments…….
Whatever! The PF magazine (The Post) thinks they have the monopoly of wisdom
amos is a spoilt little braat who cant do without mmembe. he is being used and knows it but bcos he has to kiss arse this is the price he pays. this is a dead end as emanuel isnt editor or publisher of the online magazine. the buck stops at amos
He admitted to Malupenga, and I bet Malupenga recorded the conversation which will be admitted in court
#9 Man of Action
Mwamba is not as dull as malupenga.Watch this space.
Nkalanda, Where are you? There is more drama unfolding, Emmanuel Mwamba vs the Police and Patrick vs his sisters. You definitely need a large consignment of popcorns. Good luck!
# 8, Lady Gaga, I know indeed Amos Malupenga is an arse kisser but you really seem to have something very deeply personal about him. What happened? Did you have some unfortunate encounters or limbi alikulya live elo aku dampinga? Ale tukana mukasha tumfwe!!
Let the law take its roadst to prison. Watchdog will tell who the writer of the article was. Let us wait and see….
This has nothing to do with the post. Mmembe was put to prison so now let us see how fair the law is.
It is a lesson to all of you bloggers that you do unto others what you want them to do unto you.
Just cage the sucker. he is of no value to zed.
Please hold your fire commentators! I thought the article was published in the Watchdog and not The Post? :o:-w
#11- I certainly agree with you. I definitely need a large consignment of popcorns. I doubt if the one I got yesterday will last me throughtout all these dramas that have unfolded. Lets see what we have here now: Sata vs Mumbi (Zali), Maureen vs. Abana (Greed), Mohan vs. Fimofimo ( This one kuba careful bane kuti bakulonga, Mwamba asakambila kusogolo) Faz vs 2/3, ZPL, Simata (10 days before ECM- I would be disappointed ngatakwakabe amakofi uku. New in theater -Four UTH accountants vs patients (Ilyashi lyatululu), Patrick vs sister ( Pat imya sando mwaiche) Nelly Mutti vs sisters (The new mediator/chairperson). Well only two seats left in the front row if you need to join me watch all these dramas. just make sure you bring your own popcorns since my next order is coming from Brazil on 20th
m’mebe heters..its simple,m’mbe was cited 4 contempt on kabwela issue and later arresitd,so this chap emmanuel diffinatly if found wanting must face the other side of law.
but known the kind of judiciary in existance,one wonders what other outcome might be..i will give you a reference of two same crimes but different vedict.
1.lucy changwe Vs George Mpombo….we now what happend ,so the chap is diffinatly going free!.Full stop!
#17 Nkalanda, Your sense of humour is just amazing, you have kept me cracking with laughter and am having a good time. We need to be cheerful in these in these hard days.
By playing hard to get, he might be smelling of dubiousness.
agree with #20 also kafupi et his boys maybe negotiating a high level deal
My traditional cousins no pun intended so OSA-shuta why is it that there is drama in Zambia there is a Bemba involved? In this case two Bemba brothers at each others throat. Then my ngoni cousin judge phiri from the ngonis’ of chipata is the mediator. Nkalanda I even had to pull out my cosco card for this one, popcorn on wholesale doesn’t get better than that.
In Zambia even our zambians with a mumbai connection have drama, from zollyhood to bollywood the cast of days of our lives can’t even match this.
