Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>PATRIOTS for Economic Progress party president Sean Tembo has asked a magistrate to issue an arrest warrant against Minister of Education Douglas Syakalima for failing to appear in court despite being issued with summons.<\/p>\n

Mr Syakalima is supposed to be in court to answer to allegations that he issued hate speech.<\/p>\n

This is in a case Mr Tembo has filed a criminal complaint against the minister before the Lusaka Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n

In the complaint, Mr Tembo alleged that the minister engaged in hate speech when he said that the people of Luapula suffer from poverty of the mind.<\/p>\n

Mr Tembo contends that the statement above expresses hostility and segregation against the people of Luapula.<\/p>\n

When the case came up yesterday before Lusaka magistrate Mwandu Sakala, Mr Tembo, clad in a charcoal grey suit, went to the bar and called out the case.<\/p>\n

He informed the court that summons were served on Mr Syakalima, who was not in court, on May 22.<\/p>\n
