PF Secretary General Davies Mwila has suspended Provincial Youth Chairperson for Eastern Province Jay Jay Banda from his position with immediate effect following his alleged conduct at Lusaka Central Police and the alleged illegal public procession in Chipata District.
“It has come to my attention that you have been accused of storming the Lusaka Central Police Station where it is alleged that you beat up some unsuspecting officers on duty, getting away with undisclosed amounts of money belonging to one of them and the alleged illegal procession in Chipata District after you were released”, Hon Mwila’s letter read in part.
“In view of the above and the subsequent criminal charges that have since been levelled against you by the Zambia Police Service, I find your alleged conduct in breach of Article 75, regulation 29(c) and (f) of the Party Constitution. I therefore suspend you from your office and given fourteen (14) days to exculpate yourself why further disciplinary action should not be taken against you”, Hon Mwila said in a letter of suspension written to Mr Banda and dated 24th August 2020.
Last week PF Secretary General warned that there would be no sacred cows in the Party and no one will be allowed to commit criminal activities using the Party as shield. He has since called for exemplary behaviour from the Party’s general membership.
Why is this thuggish chap not in prison already? Lock this chap up now, before he attacks another police station. He’s a danger to society. Lock him up.
There two sets of laws in Zambia, one for PF thugs and the other for the rest of us. If this guy was from the opposition, he would have spent a good number of days at Mukobeko by now. And the only mistake he made, in the eyes of the PF leadership, was breaking another law so soon after attacking the police. Their hands were tied, otherwise he would have gotten away with a slap on the wrist….
Excellent quick action taken while investigations commence into the alleged conduct. This is how we do things in pf. We’ve rules that no one is above. You will never hear of such in upnd because they want you to believe that they are some perfect gods. The voters can see through such and would rather vote for genuine party. Kz
aba nabo!!!
Suspend?? If it was in North Korea they could have suspended him by the balls…
What meaning of suspension in PF? If it was in Northern Korea, they would have suspended him by the balls.
Selective Justice…PF are untouchables
Thugs
This is the Yo everyone is fearing, even Ba Kapokola ZP?
Thugs, your time will come mate
Your time will come mate
Here we go again @KZ… like a sound box for someone else’s music. I wish you wouldn’t applaude everything and everyone just because they are PF. I like some of the people in your party, but your trumpet blowing all the time is a big put off! All so tiresome!
Politics consumes. Today a boss tomorrow a slave. Game of politics
whoever brought the idea of calling cadres as commander.
If there are truly “no sacred cows” as PF Secretary General Davies Mwila claims, why is this guy suspended with immediate effect while some “hon” ministers are given the benefit of the doubt with lots of jumping up and down about innocent until proven guilty?
OK, beating up a police officer in full view of the police does sound like a pretty open and shut case (…honestly, how stu’pid is that?!?) but imagine where this so-called “youth leader” got the notion that he could be so bold. Are there really no sacred cows, what examples is he learning from? In truth, PF (and other ruling parties before!) have long behaved as if cadres and top officials are allowed to do whatever they want. This is part of the political culture in Zambia and don’t see that it will ever change.
“you beat up some UNSUSPECTING officers on duty” Good for the suspension, now commence a criminal trial trial of JJB. The Police are watching and they know how to deal with some people when they lose elections. Watch this space
Have the courts of law convicted him already? Wow, quick justice Mr President. Well done. Now he can go to prison with hard labour. The President has kept his word. All men are innocent until proved guilty by a competent court of law. O, sorry, ‘competent’ is my addition. It is all men are innocent until proved guilty by the PF court.
Nothing will come of this. The suspension will last 14 days and then its back to business as usual. The police officers who were assaulted will be compensated through promotion or monetary so that the whole becomes a washout.
Who is the PF SG? Is it SEER 1 or Mwila? Or is SEER 1 the advisor to the PF SG? SEER 1, you’re doing a great job mate! Mwila is listening to the JAGABA!
Smoke screen – another nolle
Just widow dressing to dupe the masses …….lungu and PF need these thugs to help them stay in power , they are the engine of PF campaigns of intimidation and violence
I honestly can’t wait to see the end of this hopeless government!! Hopeless in all areas really!!
Denied by self.
What has happened to the principle innocent until proven guilt which has been used on Chitalu Chilufya ? This now looks like guess work or selective justice from this clueless party .
Is that what cops have been reduced to in Zambia? …..more like personal security guards. In the days I was growing up, you wouldn’t beat a cop and get out of the police station alive. Even Kanyangus were feared!!
It feels strange to hear a PF official quoting their party constitution. They have been overruling their own constitution in almost every activity they are engaged with. For a start, let the laws of the NATION take care of the criminal acts of that suspended member ffs, even fjs.
