Henry Banda’s Lawyers Threaten To Take Government To The UN
Lawyers representing former Zambian president Rupiah Banda and his son Henry have said they are preparing urgent appeals to international bodies including the United Nations in a bid to stop the continued unlawful conduct of the Zambian government which wants Henry to answer questions on unspecified charges.
Robert Amsterdam of Amsterdam and Peroff LLP have said the politically driven allegations against Henry which seem to change on an almost daily basis have continued to deteriorate though Henry has never been questioned by the police about anything.
“Henry has been subjected to trial by the state controlled media and the fact that the Zambian authorities still refuse to announce what Henry is accused of demonstrates that they have no real case against him” the lawyers said.
The lawyers are planning to write to international bodies because of the silence of the Zambian authorities on the matter despite repeated requests for details adding that this is now being seen by the public as part of a political witch hunt conducted with the aim of destroying the MMD and prominent figures associated with it.
Henry, who is wanted for alleged corrupt deals, has since said he would not set foot in Zambia because of the refusal of the government to identify the specific charges against him. He has cast doubts on whether he would receive fair treatment from the Zambian government adding that despite his legal representatives contacting the Zambian authorities, nothing has been said about the charges which he faces.Henry has confirmed that he was living in South Africa as he held apermanent residence status by virtue of being married to a South
African citizen.“Henry has never been questioned by the police nor has he been officially summoned. If the situation continues to deteriorate, we are prepared to urgently appeal to international bodies including the UN
to halt the unlawful conduct of the Zambian government” the lawyers said.

Iam Old Major at the Animal Farm. Home is Home, though Henry is married to a South African woman one day some situation shall force him to come back to Zambia. Robert Amsterdam has been paid millions of dollars to represent Henry and they will do everything to show him that they are doing a good job for him. The longer the case will take to finish, the more Robert Amsterdam will amass some dollars from Henry.

I am sure Henry is dying to come back home! These lawyers are just idiots trying to frustrate things.If Henry was not a government official how did he find himself handling government business? Where is the special branch to take care of the fraudister? We cant be discussing this silly boy at this stage anymore!

Water still runs deep with colonial mentality.How do you engage a lawyer who is broke?You expect justice to prevail on e-mails and phone calls.Kumwenu ni kumwenu bwela fye.
Instead of investing in your own Country you are trying to invest in colonialist.Uyo lawyer ese kuno kuZambia ese akwate press briefing concerning the same issue tumone ngani kalapashi uwaishiba ukulubulula imilandu.Ela butukila ku UN.Bushe ba UN ebo tukwete nabo umulandu?
I we laywer masitokeni nshi ufwele nombaline?Twebe ni colour nshi?Twalamona nga tawa pimpule itoloshi ukumona colour.In our Country we have prominent laywers that can handle that issue.

I have a question. If Henry Bwezani Nyama soya Banda is innocent, why cant he come back with his so, so learned lawyers? Why not deal with the issues surrounding him from here? Robert Amsterdam is a very dull lawyer and we should not be intimidated by him

Henry is a big businessman. He associates with proper people like Moise Katumbi of DRC not some of you guys from Misisi Compound. His home is in South Africa and why come to dirty Zambia? I drink with him whisky every evening in Jorberg. Akuculeni fye pa zed. South Africa bulaya bweka bweka mwandi. Icalo ubusuma eeee….ask for apples..

Sorry I forgot one more thing, where is Dr Martin Malama? Henry invited him for lunch together with Kanjela in South Africa. If you get stranded in South Africa just call Henry for help. The guy is very smart.

This lawyer is by far a mercenary in hot spots and thrieves in fighting persieved dictators.
His involvement with Ban kok ‘red shirts’ anarchists gave him a ‘PIG HEAD’ he brags that he brought down the Thailandise Govt and he thinks he can reproduce it here.
This has inspired RB and Son to hire him as a way to destabilise the country.
The best is to let him come with qualified international lawyers to defend both Henry and RB.
ROBERT IS A SERIOUS BLOGGER AND WILL SAY ANYTHING TO AROUSE INTERNATIONAL RED ALERT ATTENTION.
TO SAY HE IS A ‘DOGS OF WAR’ LAWYER IS TO TAKE MATTERS MILDLY.
HE IS A DICTATOR!

Nevers Mumba is a money laundering machine.
He abuses tax payers money and fires anyone who gets in his way. He and Mr Nzoya (the deputy at the high commission here in Ottawa) have been stealing money to buy luxury cars for them selves in Ottawa;they travel around the globe for personal reasons then finance them through the mission.
They also have an office slut “Carolina Rodriguez” working for them and she abuses the Zambian mission’s money by offering her physical body to diplomats.
