The government has announced that security agencies are making significant headway in the pursuit of Petauke Central Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Banda, who recently escaped from lawful custody.
Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa revealed at a media briefing that investigations have determined that Banda did not escape on his own but received external assistance. Mweetwa clarified that Banda’s wife, although present at the time of the escape, has not been arrested but has been interrogated.
“The revelation indicates that Mr. Banda’s flight was not a solitary act but involved assistance from others,” Mweetwa told journalists. He reassured the public that investigative agencies are working diligently to locate Banda and bring him back to face justice.
Meanwhile, Economic Front Party (EFP) President Wynter Kabimba stated that Banda’s escape is not an isolated incident but part of a larger criminal syndicate aimed at causing instability in the country. Kabimba urged investigative wings to uncover the motives behind the alleged funding of Banda, warning that the interests of this syndicate are detrimental to Zambia.
Speaking at a press briefing, Kabimba emphasized that Banda should not receive sympathy for his alleged criminal acts, asserting that individuals who violate the law must face arrest and prosecution regardless of their social status. He criticized sections of society that oppose the prosecution of the Petauke lawmaker, who is reportedly responsible for multiple criminal offenses during the previous PF administration.
The search for Emmanuel Banda continues, with the government and security agencies committed to ensuring he is brought to justice.
Why is DR. JayJay Banda getting so much attention than me? Even Ba Lungu has forsaken me. I regret naming my twins Edgar and Esther, am such a ffool.
Everyday is Gay Gay Banda, even sending rescue team to him, but us who worked as PF ministers are languishing.
BE NICE TO ECL. HE WILL TELL YOU WERE EMMANUEL IS 🙂
Being nice is not in our moral fibre
@NUBI
leave ECL out to get more Up votes kikiki
Ask Umodzi Kumawa
Mr. President, you have tried to run things the “church” way. It’s time to change your strategy. You have all the resources. If need be, you can seek reinforcement from your partners. CIA. M16 and Mossad will be available to you in no time. Criminals are gathering momentum to distibalise this peaceful nation. Like Wynter Kabimba has put it, who is funding this criminal syndicate. Is it Lungu and his friends across the boader. Meanwhile, Wicknell Chivayo has had all his funds frozen in SA.
Yes we need know how much has been spent on JJ Banda since his abduction.
Compared to how much has been spent on Muzala Samukonga’s Olympics training.
What is “external assistance”? You mean assistance from Zimbabwe? Or from Malawi? Or from Russia? Stop being vague.
You wont catch JJ with lazy fat policemen
Ba Kabimba you seem to have lost your balls of late.
Hon Mweetwa please show us the map with the position where JJ is and his pursuants.
I don’t see any “progress” in the chief government Spokesman’s report here. Is that headline correct?
Can LT please put more important issues confronting us than this chap
Zesco now calling extended loadshedding Emergency loadshedding
Police manning every faded and even non existent white lines around the country Not in the name of road safety but purely for lunch money
I thought Government should focus on making progress on Electricity crisis not wasting time and resources chasing bandits….misplaced priorities…UPND is a missed call…..they just wasting tax payers money arresting people with zero prosecution
Anything to distract people from real issues will do.
The govt will not pursue developmental agendas, these chaps are vengeful and vindictive
I have never seen evil, petty & backward freaks like these puppets ( upnd )
Pipo are hungry, no income, no electricity, no hope & all they do is to chase after this JJ guy. HH will go down as the worst president ZED has ever had period!!!!!!!
Imagine running a barber shop, welding business etc and there is no power the whole day. How do you guys live back home in Africa / ZED?
This must be a lesson to all that never ever vote angry, sellouts backward individuals again period.
Any news on the guy they shot the so called illegal miner in the North? Kwena, i used to tell folks when i visited ZED / Africa 5 years ago that hh is an angry vindictive, uncaring person, self-centred chap & that the biggest mistake ZEDIANS will make is to put him in power, look now.
Who really believes what they say anymore? It’s a performance of make-believe! It is clear that the largest criminal enterprise in Zambia today is within the government and factions of the ruling party. How did the government defy accepted norms and practices by opening an old case already decided by the courts? Absolute powers corrupt.

Stop being petty and fake and use one login name…………
Reading all the negative comments everyday no one is coming with a credible party
which to support in the future
UKA PF and socialist party are planning to form a united front in 2026 making it a GRZ of National unity
This cannot be allowed to happen !!!!
So where is the solution ???
My friend 2026 is a long way off. If a credible opponent emerges now the Upnd will crush him…. remember they are good at resurrecting old cases…Mumbi Phiri, Davis Chama and currently JJ. Just be patient…. don’t worry about tubena Edgar Lungu…a giant will be revealed at the right time.
Dejavu
It is 2031, not 2026 badala………..
You better get used to it…….
@spaka you will be shocked…. just pray that by the grace of God things improve… which is some kind of impossibility. Even those who actually voted for you have vowed never to repeat the mistake… what you seem to miss is that Mr Hakainde Hichilema confidently vowed to make life affordable… imagine he says: Hours after being voted we will recieve $24 billion and many other things like the forex rates, loadshedding etc. Now it’s the opposite… fuel has doubled, bunga has doubled, Zesco loadshedding has trebled
Normal zambians , who unfortunetly for you……..
Are the majority, and are fully aware of the state HH found the country and the global crisis world wide………….
They know it is not only zambia , and wpuld never go back to the rebranded theives masqurading as rebourns
@Edward i agree with you bro, too much power in one man’s hands is dangerous especially folks like hh
Look at him responding to his own posts………..
Desperate for company………
Mwa chepa sana………
Forwadee 2031………
Just because the police were USED to abduct Hon JJ Banda does not make him a criminal. His arrest was politically motivated and that makes Hon JJ Banda a political prisoner and freedom fighter! I wish this govt can used what is remaining of their term to solve our economic problems such as power deficit and management of our mineral resources which ave the potential to lift our country of of poverty
Justice = Edward = UFIMBENUMA
What a low life………
@ Justice
ati ” Political Prisoner”….my asssss….JJ is a bandit and also an attention seeker at the same time….i don’t know why UPND is wasting tax payers money on these morons…UPND is making the opposition Politicians popular…if UPND ignores all the Bandit Politicians then their political careers will die a natural death…JJ…Binwell…Munir….Chisenga( that Useless Politician who set her own house on fire) should all be ignored
WE NEED TO DEVELOP ZAMBIA
Perhaps if JJ was not in politics, those old cases were not going to be reintroduced…there would no reason.
They loot our resources for bread and make the western nations rich while ZED suffers. The only threat to ZED progress are the leaders period. They sold their souls to their Western masters.. corruption. The BIGGEST ENEMY to an African child is his / her political leaders period. You can write all the best English articles it will never help. Just shut up!!!!
Wow……..
You are indeed a troubled man……….
Ask Dejavu how he is healing from the PF electrol defeat , he seems to be healing , slowly. He has relapses now and again.
@Spaka i have seen above that you have chest pains.. you are typical fontini just like your hh. I bet you are from the south. You are so blinded that you cannot see the suffering of ZEDIANS. I do not have time for poor folks like you, you toad. I have never mentioned you,.. ohh i mention your small god hh. No wonder you are so backward. You dont even know whom you are chatting with, I trade with your small god hh & all his goons. If you know how many investors & investments some of us bring to ZED there you cannot be commenting.. be careful you stupid cadre. Have you ever met physically with your small god hh? Have you ever visited him in his office at plot number 1 & do business with him? You hungry sucker

PleASE FIND SOMETHING TO OCCUPY YOUR MIND
The 2026 elections will be a referendum as to whether we should simply go back to boundaries of 1911. As for me from what Zambians are calling Zambezi region, it would be better for me to leave the country called Zambia than going back to the days of PF.
winters knows more. the police need to interrogate him..
The real criminal masterminds are nestled inside the cocoon of the government machinery. At the top of the heap is Jack Mwiimbu, minister of Home Affairs and National Security. A sly, greedy, and self-conceited man, he has no respect for the rules and is obsessed with currying favour with his boss, getting rich, and securing him by abusing his gang’s control over state resources. Who is JJ Banda in the face of these criminals?
This guy is already in Malawi. You won’t catch him now until another more friendly government takes over just like kaizer and our court jester tayali.
