The Zambia Police officers on Friday swung into action and confiscated a vehicle and some documents belonging to Henry Banda, one of the sons of embattled former president and MMD Supremo Rupiah Banda.
The police, who did not say what exactly they were looking for, camped at Henry’s house almost the whole day but later went to his office to continue the search.
Among the confiscated items the cops grabbed from his office were business cards, samples of campaign materials and some documents.
Rupiah Banda’s son, Henry Banda himself is believed to be overseers.
It is not yet clear and established what type of Vehicle was grabbed but sources disclosed that Henry’s lawyer Sakwiba Sikota was present during the search.

At least non of chiluba’s sons were implicated in the downfall of FTJ.RB’s sons went too far.In some cases given the situation we can also use our parents’s status quo.RB’s sons abused it to the max.I hope H.E..MS’sons will not fall in the same trap.

Even FTJ’s (RIP) wasn’t witch hunt it was factual. Its a pity that levy went to be with the lord and all the issues were concluded by RB Rubbish Banda and FTJ(RIP) was dubiously acquitted. Remember crooks like Soriano Katebe katoto and Moise Katumbi and the $20million arms deal. arms which were never delivered to Zambia. Our lakes were auctioned…. The fact is that this country needs some cleansing on a serious note. And I feel we should start from both the top and the bottom. the public officers like the police, kuma Court kuma NRC/PASSPORTS RATSA KU CIVIC CENTRE, KU HOSPITAL NAMUMA COMPANY AYENGISHA INCITO. Surely we are tired. All these and many others need to transform otherwise there will be nothing left for our children.

RB and his sons must be probed within the confines of the law. I too do not care if you call it “witch hunt”. Yo and me know that Banda and his sons milked Zambia and made themselves overnight US Dollar millionaires. This at the expense of the pensioners who have been sleeping under cardboard boxes at Inter city…for how long..? For longer that James has been out of primary school. So f**k u if u think this is a “witch hunt”. We want them to pay for their crimes.
As for RB, I hope the baroste Commission will find that RB commited “crimes against Humanity” so that he is taken before the Hueg (sp)and hang,… the bastard.

You guys… Sata warned you. He cited WHY RB was fired by KK from NAMBOARD. Ukwiba, theft, taking what does not belong to him. When RB was put at the helm of power, he exhibited the same behaviour. SO do not get surprised. This is the same RB from NAMBOARD. Just Imagine what he has stolen in just 3yrs!! The shorted saving president is the richest of all!!!

With or without witch hunt, RB and his family must be probed without fear or favour. There is no way this family can become stink-rich within a period of three years. It is also evident that this family had been involved in dubious activities. Why not probing this Kabwalala family? I voted for Sata based on his promise to fight corruption. Good enough Sata has nicely quoted from the ten commandments; thy shall not steal.
Let us support Micheal and stop discouraging him by using retrogresive statements such as ‘witch hunt’,'hitting back’ e.t.c. Corruption is corruption period!

The best we can be told as a nation is to bring this RB’s son back to Zambia. He is at the Zambian embassy in Italy where is the fuss? All the deals of ACC auctioned gold missing bought by that Chap in Switzerland working as a Zambian can be brought back through Interpol. Dont waste our time to hear just exposing the porus system. DO THE RIGHT THING NOT AS CHILUBA THE THIEF ENDED UP NOT PAYING BACK TO ZAMBIANS WHAT HE STOLE. DO IT WITH BANDA AND HIS FAMILY BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HIM. MUCH AS WE CANNOT FORGIVE BANDA. WE WILL NOT COME AND FORGIVE SATA OR ANYONE WHO FAILS TO CORRECT CLEAR THEFTS AND PLUNDER OF ZAMBIAN RESOURCES.

be professional pliz,we don’t want to waste our own money on things we cannot recover,remember the amount of money dat was spent on chiluba, for 7 years some 1 was busy preaching dat chiluba stole but to our surprise nothing tangible was recovered. mind u sata was against spending much money on individual wo became self fish on the pretext dat chiluba stole, we must also investigate those colleagues(nchito brothers)

I agree with origin zambian.Sata must do what all Zambians expect him to do and,that is clean up the system.R bandit and his ****** sons must be brought to book. The Zambian people must also push for deep investigations into Thandiwe Bandas purchase of all her properties in Malawi ,tanzania and home. If found guilty those properties should be confisticated,sold and funds returned to the Zambian gvt. Never again will we allow a foreigner into State house,never.
