Sata Sues HH, Henry’s Lawyer
PRESIDENT Sata has sued United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema for alleged defamation of character.
Mr Sata has also sued proprietors of the Daily Nation and Zambian Watchdog Richard Sakala and Lloyd Himaambo, respectively, for the defamation.
He has further sued lawyer Robert Amsterdam, who is acting for former President Rupiah Banda and his son, Henry, and University of Zambia history lecturer Choolwe Beyani.
This is contained in writs of summons filed in the Lusaka High Court yesterday by President Sata’s lawyers Ellis and Company.
Mr Sata has sued Mr Hichilema and four others in connection with stories published in the Daily Nation and on the Zambian Watchdog, regarding an alleged false statement suggesting that he is protecting his “rich friends Mutembo Nchito and Fred M’membe from paying back the K14 billion owed to Development Bank of Zambia”.
He is seeking an injunction restraining Mr Hichilema from defaming him.
“The plaintiff claims an injunction restraining the defendants and each of them, whether by themselves, their servants or agents or otherwise from further publishing or causing to be published the similar words defamatory of the plaintiff,” reads part of the summons.
The head of State is further claiming general and exemplary damages for defamation of character and interest at current commercial bank lending rates.
He is also claiming further or other reliefs as the court will deem fit and costs.
Mr Sata said Mr Hichilema’s statement that “he [President Sata] will not get away with lies” published by the private newspaper and the online publication means he lacks integrity and has aided and abetted corruption and the abuse of public funds.

Mr sata, can you just concentrate at fulfilling the promises you made to the Zambian people other than wasting our time. So far your performance is nothing to write home about. People are now saying the MMD government was better-off. I personally feel they are not far from the truth.

when a dog barks at a lion, the lion does not bark back. Ba Sata, you have acountry to run amd a nation to build, leave HH to bark all he can, he & we will see the truth by your actions. Unless you know that you will do zero! Then mulelaka just like that as we look for alternatives. Why are you degrading yourself?
Fima advisers to the president you are as dickless as you are impotent.

Zambia has beaten Ghana 1 – 0. Christopher Katongo scored in the 1st half. He hold the history/record of being the first to score at the New levy Stadium on an international stage.

Ba HH, start reorganizing your party. It is sad that a man who likened himself to Obama is proving to be a political non-entity. Malabishi!

So the head of the executive is going to civil court. Unfortunately, he will have to personally appear as it is a civil matter.
As head of the executive he is not meant to appear in court and subordinate himself to a magistrate or judge. Kabova antics like this are what will take zambia back to cave man days.
HE set a civilised presidence not ma motorcade pa local court.
