Share

Police in Lusaka have summoned Leader of the opposition UPND Hakainde Hichilema for questioning over reasons yet to be established.

Mr Hichilema has been asked to appear at the police Headquarters on Monday 21st December 2020, according to UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma.

Confirming the development, Mr Kakoma has explained that Mr Hichilema was summoned through his lawyers after attempts by the Police to leave the callout at the party secretariat failed.

But Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo says 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,” Mrs 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.

  1. Its time to arrest him over privatization. We have been talking enough. Even the commission talk is over now. Time to act. And this is a good time because bail will only be after new year kuntanshi that side.
    Let him have his time in court. We are tired of him sueing prople of his theft.

    • The whole Zambia knows palibe mulandu apa. But ruling party has a strategy to intimidate opposition leaders especially towards election time. Have you ever heard of ruling party members being summoned? no but HH Kambwili etc will be summoned every day until election time. In Uganda the musician boy is detained everyday for everything he does. They will detain him for coughing during Covid lockdown because African Presidents think they must instill fear in their nationals. They mistake the fear for respect. But where’s Mobutu? Where’s Kamuzu? Where’s Mengistu? You Current Tinpot dictators must ask yourselves.

  2. What crime has HH committed this time around? Why is the Police not giving reasons for the HH Callout? With 8 Months b4 the 2021 General Elections what is the real motive for arresting HH? More questions than answers.

  3. They want to know why Hakainde has two NRCs with different numbers and different names. It is fraudulent. And when the police Summons someone like that disgraced criminal accomplices rise up in arms. Is there anyone above the law? Tayali is not playing he is the real game changer.

  5. Let the police do their job. There is nothing special about hh. He is just a mere citizen like each one of us.

    As I work with intelligence departments in government, I have been briefed on why he has been summoned. I will not divulge the reasons but all I will say is that it is always better to keep quiet if you know you have skeletons in the closet

  7. These Ponyo Front don’t enjoy peace. These idyots are supposed to pretend to be mourning the Con court judge they just killed.
    They kill judge for merely ruling on PF ministers salaries.

  9. HH never spoke about his criminal records on social media platforms even though the evidence against him is out in public. I hope, he speaks the truth in front of the police.

  10. I think, police should also call media for coverage because we want the see what questions police are going to ask him and what lies or explanation he gives.

  12. Fake Christian’s and cruel leaders can summon even an innocent person because they are afraid of losing an election. Jesus Christ the Son of God was arrested and crucified over nothing. He was accused of things he never did. This is likely to happen during these last days according to 2 Timothy 3:1_5. I ask all churches to stop pretending. Live like Christ and tell the Zambian leader to be honest and stop cheating the Zambian people. The president must show love to all citizens like Christ.

  13. His track record is worst. His criminal records along with evidence are out on a public platform. He just need to accept it in front of the police.

  14. Police should not release HH after question. If all the charges against him turn out to be true then he must be thrown in jail, and cancel his name from the presidential elections. No one is above the law!

  15. President Lungu funding millions of Kwacha and launch projects such as the Economic Recovery Programme to uplift entire Zambians and what HH is doing?Fraud and cheating with his own country!

  16. Leave the man alone as if you improving the country when you just destroying it. Our Police are not your slaves to use for your selfish ambitions. You are going next year whether you like it or not. When the whole southern Africa region and world start condemning you will come up with your usual excuse of sovereignty when you are busy begging for money

  17. Throw HH out of Zambia, the country is on the path of development and within 3 years it will be transformed completely. HH doesn’t deserve to call as a citizen of this country.

  18. The hatred against HH being vommitted on this blog is stinking. You can eliminate HH but the $billions of dedts pf has acquired will remain.Concentrate on finding ecnomic solutions the country is facing than intimidating political opponents.
    All of you saying HH is just a mere citizen must remeber how the police always stop HH whenever he is visiting markets.

  19. Hounding the opposition is not the ‘polices job’. It’s ridiculous that a so-called Police service can be used to such an unprofessional extent. It has happened too often under this regime – a purchased Police service, as I have stated before. There are always resources when it comes to running shot gun for the ruling regime and nothing for defending the public.

  20. HH is a sadist and crook who has hidden the privatisation loot in the paradise papers because of his greedy and bitterness has managed to hoodwink his supporters into group think mentality of typical UPND sycophants and zealots and enemies of progress…. Hence forth worship him…

  21. No matter how much they harass him, he is the one people want. So I am not sure if what they are doing to him helps them in any way. The guy is the incoming leader and I am not even UPND

  22. You don’t even need an opinion poll conducted, everybody knows that on any day in the past or in future if elections are free and fair the vote goes to HH and UPND

  23. The way PF talk ill of HH and victimize him out of fear for him, one might think HH is the only opposition leader in the country
