Why jointly charged her with Chilekwa when in fact she was not the one who pulled the trigger?\u201d He added.<\/p>\n<p>I am calling on President Hichilema to sit down with the police and release Mumbi Phiri who we all know was innocent I remember that President Hakainde Hichilema and I once condemned in its strongest terms the arrests made by the PF on innocent people for political retribution\u201d he stated. He indicated that the PF government had on various counts-imposed arrests on then opposition UPND members for political vengeance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can cite examples on how the PF abused their power by using the police to arrest the opposition, which included the treason charge slapped on the head of state himself, Copperbelt Minister Elisha Matambo and Obvious Mwaletata who served for one year for the case of aggravated robbery and Garry Nkombo who was also another victim of political arrests, including himself who was slapped with 39 cases under one court and 11 cases in others courts for political reason\u201d Kambwili said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he would formally write to the Head of State to remind him of the times when he was in the opposition and in alliance with Kambwili in which they agreed that once in office such arrests would be things of the past.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Mumbi Phiri appeared in Kaoma Magistrates where she faces charges with former President Edgar Lungu\u2019s Barber Shebby Chilekwa for murder of Lawrence Banda.<\/p>\n<p>Phiri arrived in court at 10:00 hours clad in a floral African print (chitenge) outfit, white jersey, blue head sock and a green mask looking calm and confident. The two accused appeared before Kaoma Magistrate Besting Hamaseke for explanation of the charge.<\/p>\n<p>Facts before the court were that on October 6th ,2019 Mumbi Phiri 52 of Waterfalls area in Chongwe, a housewife and Shebby Chilekwa 34, a businessman of Chilanga whilst acting together allegedly murdered Lawrence Banda in Kaoma District.<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate Hamaseke told the accused persons that they had been charged according to section 200 of the Penal code chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia. Both Phiri and Chilekwa did agree before Magistrate Hamaseke that they understood the charge read before them.<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate Hamaseke explained that the duo could not say anything because they were merely before his court for the explanation of the charge as the court awaits instructions from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The two will appear in court on March 10,2022, for mention whilst they remain in custody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have appeared before this court for an explanation of the charge so that you know the reason you are in custody because your matter can not be tried in this court. Your charge is according to section 200 of the Penal code chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia. I am waiting for instructions from the DPP whether or not I should release you,\u201d Magistrate Hamaseke explained.<\/p>\n<p>Phiri becomes the second accused person to be charged with the murder of Lawrence Banda, the first one being former President Edgar Lungu\u2019s Barber Shebby Chilekwa. Lawrence Banda, a UPND sympathizer was shot dead in Kaoma District in 2019 during the run-up to council chairperson by-elections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
