The case in which Petauke Member of Parliament Emmauel Banda is charged with aggravated robbery and attempted murder has been committed to the Chipata high court for summary trial.
Chipata Principal Resident Magistrate Boniface Mwala this morning committed the case involving the Petauke law marker after the state through its Deputy Chief state Advocate Richard Masempela submitted a certificate of committal from Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Gilbert Phiri.
ZANIS reports that this was after the defence applied for an adjournment to allow the legal team to obtain some documents to be submitted to the magistrate court that was scheduled for a preliminary inquiry whose application was granted last week.
But the state informed the court that the scheduled preliminary inquiry had been over taken by the latest development in which the DPP has issued a certificate committing the matter to the high court for summary trial.
Last week Magistrate Mwala granted a new application to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the attempted murder case and aggravated robbery which the court had scheduled to hear today.
The application had been filed by defence lawyer David Banda of JMP and associates
As the Member of Parliament appeared in court today, there was tight security around the court premises.
The Law marker is facing charges of aggravated robbery and attempted murder.

What about the matter whereby this primitive stupid boy called Jay Jay Banda had urinated in the mouth of a journalist. Passable punishment is to ask selected prisoners to publically urinate in his mouth as well.
Jay Jay had samwadi during PF days. How do you honestly urinate into some ones mouth, and also clobbered the Police in their own backyard. By the way, Police Command I am alerting that illegal Police traffic checks have started again, check Mumbwa road, Great East road and other roads. Remember when they are banned, they start coming back slowly as a strategy, that strategy of coming back slowly was used in MMD, PF and now in UPND
He captured the whole central police station , intimidating and beating up the police…….
Who gets away with that ????
……….
This criminal should be nowhere near parliment……….

Judicial mingalato
Everyone’s days are numbered .
The arms of the law has catch up with him
Public Prosecutors office at Lusaka Central Police are the most corrupt. The same people have been working in the same office for more than 40 years. They move with files to show and to receive bribery money.
The only law is how big a pocket one has
That is Zambia today
