United Party for National Development leader Hakainde Hichilema has said that his callout to appear before the Police has now been moved to Wednesday 10hrs at Force Headquarters.
In a statement to his supporters, the UPND leader said that he had no slightest idea what crime he may have committed this time around, just like has been the case in the past when he was being summoned and arrested purely on what he described as trumped-up charges, such as treason which carries a death sentence once convicted.
The UPND leader said that he only crime could be to aspire for the highest office in the land.
“We have said before and we shall still say it now, that we don’t have to commit a crime for these summons, because the only crime we have committed in this country is to aspire for public office of our beautiful and resource endowed country which is being mismanaged, he said
“We will not be subdued by any kind of intimidation by those who wield power and will not be deviated from our ambitions and vision to liberate our country from dictatorship, cronyism, patronage and corruption,” he concluded.
The change of date was confirmed by Zambia Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo who said that Mr Hichilema’s lawyers have asked the police to postpone the date for appearing from Monday 21st December to a later date.
“Police had summoned the President for the United Party for National Development (UPND) Mr Hakainde Hichilema to Police Headquarters and was expected to appear on Monday, 21st December ,2020 . We however recieved correspondence from his Lawyers requesting for the rescheduling of the date,” Katongo said.
She said police are still in discussion with the Lawyers on a new date on which the opposition leader should be availed to police.
To question him about Kalomo Farm? I laughed. No wonder people invest in foreign land.
Lungu , arresting hh will not fix the economy nor will it make the debt disappear,
You might buy yourself some time by arresting him , but the inevitable jail for your corruption will come
An earthquake is eminent
It’s better this matter is settled because the children of the former owner of the farm in question have another story and they’re crying. How does that become intimidation? Let the Police do their job and help by providing answers. How about the orphans that are complaining?
Things fall apart when the Centre can no longer hold. The Police Callout is a few days b4 Xmas Day.The Kalomo Farm Case is already B4 the HC therefore subjudice. There is more to this Police Callout than what meets the eye. All eyes on 2021 Elections no doubt. To every Season there is Time for everything. Time to Rest, Time to mourn, Time to celebrate etc. We shall see what Time it is for in Zambia on Wednesday December 23, 2021? God have Mercy!
That is a court case. Why Police?
What about that lawyer in kapiri mposhi who stole money from the widow is his case going to take place next year after the general elections or later?
The time of hiding being the Kantemba politics has long gone whether you aspire to be president or not you will answer for your own actions. Those pointing at ECL are being naive. Did ECL send CK to forge papers or obtain a fictitious NRC for a fictitious person? Did ECL ask HH to obtain Two NRCS with different names? Did ECL ask HH to buy former lima house and a farm in Kalomo? Did ECL ask HH to swindle Govt of Zambia on purchase of hotel in Livingstone?
Whilst the police have summoned the UPND leader and incoming President after 12/08/21 for whatever reason, let members/supporters be vigilant but remain calm and watch from the comfort of their homes and leave the matter in hands of the competent legal team and senior party officials. The reason I am saying this is simple, lets avoid failing into a trap of disorderliness which will prompt trigger happy cops to cause harm to members like was the case of Sharpville police killing of civilians in South Africa during apertheid . Lets not forget that the police are working under strict instruction of what they instruction from ABOVE. Lets be tactical and observe how the matters unfold. The PF leadership is hell bent in making sure HH is nailed to the cross so that come 2021 his name does not…
You busy to sumon Hh for what?The of government have put this country in a very big problem
@Chansa, the accusation is that papers were dubiously altered to change the extent of the land that was sold. That isn’t a civil matter. Let Hichilema provide an explanation. Unfortunately for those of you that support him, he’s dishonest and has so far managed to cheat the Law. However, one day he’ll meet his waterloo
Can this criminal just appear without making silly announcements. If he comes with his cadres can the police give them dirty slaps including the same hh . Zambia is bigger than one person.
These are the guys who announce that they are going to shlt in toilet
We have bigger problems to sort
Out then to dig bones which were
Burried twetyfive years ago In kalomo.Secondly did HH buy all the properties in privatization?
We all know it’s election time but
Lets face each other in election
And try to reduce poverty Levels.
The Kalomo Farm Case is already b4 the High Court so it can’t be a reason for a HH Police Callout. The real reason for Police Callingout HH is Political. The Powers that be don’t want HH on the 2021 Voters Roll. The idea is to either arrest HH for Treason and jail him or poison him to stop him from contesting 2021 Elections. They will achieve this thru Hook and Crook. Will they succeed? Time will tell.
The problem is HH OR WHO EVER CALLED BALI thinks that everything belongs to him with his privetation stolen monies you chewed more than you swallow NO NO BABA you must first think about the poor cause didn’t have the chance like him to steal
IT IS TRUE WHAT MUCHELEKA IS SAYING. IT IS FOR YOUR GOOD WILL THAT YOU RESIGN OR ABSTAIN BY SAYING NO BECAUSE YOU WERE EMPLOYED TO PROTECT YOUR OWN RELATIVES AND CITIZENS WITHIN THE COUNTRY. BY THE WAY EVEN IF YOU ARE FROM LUAPULA AND ARE CHARGED WITH RESPONSIBILITY TO SOUTHERN AND THEN A SOUTHERNER IS TAKEN TO NORTHERN OR EASTERN PROVINCE, WITH YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE WOULD YOU DRAW UP A GUN AND SHOOT AT ONE OF YOUR OWN CITIZEN?
COME ON GUYS, BETTER I AM DISMISSED THAN BE A USEFUL FOOL WHO AT THE END WILL REGRET MY INVOLVEMENT IN EVIL WORKS.
IUNDERSTAND POLICE SALARY SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS;
A person working as a Police Officer in Zambia typically earns around 3,660 ZMK per month. Salaries range from 1,690 ZMK (lowest) to 5,830 ZMK (highest).
This is the average monthly salary including…
Being in Courts is like a hobby for some people!

SO SOMEONE WANTS TO HELP YOU AND THEN YOU TURN AGAINST HIM? LOOK AT THE AMOUNTS OF MONEY PF SPENT ON BUYING ARMORY TO DISBURN HER OWN CITIZENS WHEN YOU POLICE OFFICERS ARE SUFFERING? STAND UP AND SAY NO TO EVIL PLANS OF PF SCHEMES. ALL OF US ARE IN TROUBLE FRIENDS DONT PRETEND AS THOUGH THINGS…
POLICEMEN AND WOMEN YOU CAN JUST GET THE LANGUAGE KAIZA IS USING. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HONORED AND TAKEN AS PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY? MIND YOU NOT EVERY PLICE OFFICE LIVES IN CAMPS BUT WE STAY TOGETHER IN OUR CIVILLIAN COMMUNITY AND ITS EASY FOR YOU EITHER PEOPLE TO TURN AGAINST YOU OR TO PROTECT YOU. THAT FACT MUST BE WITHIN YOU.
Just go and appear, this coward why announce? So that your thugs can go cause confusion at the Force HQ? You will meet ”Bone Crusher” Kapeso there, wait! Muza muziba Yesu! I would still have been UnPeND, but for this stubborn oval-head!
I’m not a UPND supporter but someone just can’t be harassed by the police because he is an opposition party leader! The Lungu Police Force must know we all can’t be the same. That’s why there are Ngonis, Bembas Tonga Luvales etc. People must live with each other PEACEFULLY.
Hate comments can’t help you in any way, sober up kaiza.
Kennedy muyabi continue thinking like that and before you know it, your private parts will be privatized. That boy hh is dangerous and can sell you for peanuts without you even knowing. Lobe
I wish you could speak constructively for the sake of Zambia not politics
