Kabwalala! The problem is that these prominent figures are said to be arrested and released on bond then the cases start dragging till they are dropped. Only Richard Sakala was severly panished by servin his time in Chimbokaila prison

A Nolle prosequi is not an acquittal; you should learn this you guys. Even HH may be rearrested at some time in future.

Yes, justice takes so long here….I know of a case whose judgment has not been delivered for 23 years. The complainant was 59 when the case was concluded but he is now 82 years old and may not live long enough to see justice delivered. JUSTICE NOT DELIVERED IS JUSTICE DESTROYED.

Lawyers plse educate us, someone gets 2.8 million, buries it in his farm, cannot explain how he got it and his charge is dropped for something else? A poor person who stills a village chicken goes in for 9 months with hard labour? Awe twapapata Austin mwikateni alande how 2.8 million Kwacha (He said it himself that it was 2.8 million not 2.1 million) was found buried in his farm. Why bury money if not to hide ill-gotten money?

Nolle prosequi Classical Latin is legal term of art and a Latin legal phrase meaning “be unwilling to pursue”, a phrase amounting to “do not prosecute”. It is a phrase used in many common law criminal prosecution contexts to describe a prosecutor’s decision to voluntarily discontinue criminal charges either before trial or before a verdict is rendered. It contrasts with an involuntary dismissal.
Nolle prosequi as a declaration is most often used in criminal cases, but in jurisdictions making use of nolle prosequi in civil lawsuits, is used by a plaintiff to voluntarily drop its claims. In civil cases, a motion for voluntary dismissal may be made by a plaintiff instead of a declaration of nolle prosequi, depending upon the custom and rules of a given jurisdiction.
