Rupiah’s Son Henry Banda Hiding At Kenya’s state House
Henry Banda
Rupiah Banda’s son Henry is being kept at state house in Kenya The Post reports.
Investigators recently said Henry who is wanted by the police for the alleged corruption during his fathers rule is seeking refugee in Kenya after alarm was sounded for his possible interrogation.
The truth is that Henry is in Kenya, as you may know the former president Rupiah Banda is a close friend to our president[Mwai Kibaki] here.
So those stories that Henry is here are very correct, source told The Post.
There is a very close link between your former president and our president here, they are friends, so it is not surprising that Henry is living there [at state house]
Former inspector General of police Dr Martin Malama recently said an arrest warrant had been issued against Henry and appealed to Interpol member state to help track Henry down over his involvement in a number of corrupt deals when his father was president.
But former president Banda denied that Henry was in Kenya and said it was silly for the investigative wing to embark on such a move.
“He is silly who ever issued it[He is former inspector General of police Dr Martin malama] Head of police, he is supposed to be protecting Zambians instead of inciting People,” Banda said. Banda said he had to sort out the issue with his son whom some people said had run away from the country because he stole.
Among the many deals Henry was accused of brokering a transaction in which a Kenyan oil trading company Dalbit petroleum Ltd clinched a muilt- million dollar contract to supply finished petroleum products to Zambia.
There were also reports on how Kenyan businessmen who had attended the tender opening ceremony in Lusaka had being given aide de camps by the previous government
Henry was also linked to the illegal sale of Zamtel to Libyas Lapgreen Network who’s shareholding in the telecommunication company has since been repossessed by government after commission of inquiry instituted to investigate the transaction found and there was a lot of corruption involved in the deal

Now Sata wants to drag Kenya in this case, we already have a sour relationship with Malawi because of his personal troubles he had when he was a private person. Stop creating rumours so that people start believing your story.

we all know that Henry doesn’t stay in Zambia and i wonder how he is been followed up as if he was in the Government. i think we are better to prosecute what we have than waste a lot of our time and resources looking for the unknown. Dora and others were in the forefront, George wasted our tax payers money on the draft that failed. Henry just did business, come on PF.

I hope former IG of police was not released of his duties so that he does not pursue the Henry issue. We need this guy back so that he can account for his deeds.

You can ran and ran and ran, but home is home. No matter how long, one day you will come back, or you will be brought back. And by the way why are you in hiding? We warned you a long time ago. Idioott.

It’s being silly for any reasonable person in their rightful sence of mind to condemn these investigations,unless they live in heaven and have not seen the suffering that corruption in the RB Govt brought into our homes. I pray that the newly appointed IG will persue corruption with the same force that the former IG exhibited and that our Govt does not rest untill all crooks are brought to book especially RB.

@ sitizen namba wan, how is Sata dragging Kenya in?? The wheels of justice are in motion. Why is he the only of the accused that is on the run? All of the MMD officials under investigations are on the streets. Some have appeared before investigative wings are out on streets. Why is he the only one running???

There is much more than we do not know that makes the son of former president RB Henry afraid, the father is here very free and celebrating our cup together with KK and MCS. It would have been better for him to just come back home, it does not make a good show to just run away before being told what crime he has committed there is just a rummer of Zamtel, as far as we know Henry is just the son of former president RB he never held any rank in gvt to broke or authorize any transaction or right to say or do anything with zamtel saga how come he got involved in these issues, if he happens to have been a share holder in Lapgreen Network how come his friends from Libya did not run away? You are a Zambian and if there is an opportunity to do business, Zambians who have money should be given the first priority to do business in their country. If Zamtel was sold it was the gvt’s decision to sell Zamtel you just happen to be a shareholder so young man just come home and defend your self to all these allegations said against you. Hiding in Kenya or somewhere else is just a bad signal.

he will soon come out – how long can kenya be seen to harbour a fraudster/ besides there are elections soon in kenya and no politician or political party needs this incovenience – so be patient, their hospitality will soon run out and henry will be in chimbokaila for perverting the course of justice.

Is Henry wanted for introducing RP Capital to Dora? That’s what agents do and they get paid a commission for it. I just find it ****** for Henry to be hiding when this, if it’s what he’s wanted for, is not a crime. And I wonder why the police should be spending so much resources for a non-crime. Get a life!

@Sadi,
RB is not only Silly, he is very very corrupt chap.
Its a pity to see Sata chating and laughing with RB. Its an indication that we, the tax payers, will yet again lose our money like we did with Chiluba.
I thought Sata was going to correct the Chiluba and RB thefts. That is how he sounded during the campaigns. Was it all lies????
If it was lies then I have to start looking for someone else for 2016…Kambwili I surpose?

Ps 10:8 They sit in ambush in the villages; in hiding places they murder the innocent. Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
Ps 32:7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah
Ps 119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.
Pr 28:12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked prevail, people go into hiding.
Pr 28:28 When the wicked prevail, people go into hiding; but when they perish, the righteous increase.

That’s was’nt corruption you poor Zambians, my dad was a president therefore the govt money was my dad’s money. It was in order for me to get cuts from any govt contract. I can assure you I will be back and the courts and the police or ACC won’t touch me.

What is the value of pursuing this henry. I think there are more important things to persue coz we might spend 1m dollars to bring back and only frecover 10m kwacha. After all he was not in govt to make any decisions. Those that made decision are there to be prosecuted. It sjust a scapegoat on the failure to find concrete evidence on those available. SHAME

It is true that the former President’s son was involved in massive acts of abuse of government resources an outright abuse of office on the part of the President, hence, the decision to srap off the the abuse of office clause from the constitution. Henry is now hiding in Kenya, where RB has also gone to give solidarity to his son and seek asylum for his son. But we are going to crash them down to dust.

If Kenya’s State House offers refuge to criminals, it may well mean that some of the Somalian terrorists that are killing Kenyans and are on the run could also be enjoying presidential protection there. And who knows, maybe even Al qaeda members, Oh what a state house!!
