HH Agrees To Abide by Law After Police Quizzing
POLICE yesterday questioned United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema and used their discretion not to arrest him for breaching the Public Order Act last week.
Lusaka Province commissioner of police Charity Katanga told journalists shortly after Mr Hichilema was interviewed that the police have urged the opposition leader to abide by the provisions of the Public Order Act.
Mr Hichilema has agreed to abide by the law.
“We have asked Mr Hichilema to make an undertaking in writing that in future he will abide by the provisions of the law. The undertaking will be on the UPND headed paper and will be signed by Mr Hichilema and his secretary general,” Ms Katanga said.
She clarified that police summoned Mr Hichilema not because he had visited a market but because of a fracas involving UPND cadres that occurred in Kamwala.
“A line should be drawn between mere visiting and politicking. When he (Mr Hichilema) wants to do politics, he must notify us just like any other person who attracts a following,” Ms Katanga said.
He said police elected not to charge Mr Hichilema despite the fact that he had allegedly breached the Public Order Act.
“There was a docket that was opened against Mr Hichilema by some members of the public after the fracas in Kamwala but an arrest is not always necessary and we have not charged him.
“We have talked to him in the presence of his lawyers and he has agreed to follow the law,” Ms Katanga said.
Earlier, UPND cadres who were barred from entering Kabwata Police Station premises taunted police officers and threw objects at them.
Mr Hichilema was accompanied by lawyers Chad Muleza, Martha Mushipe, Jack Mwiimbu and several UPND members of Parliament.
And Mr Mwiimbu, who spoke on behalf of Mr Hichilema, said police had cordial discussions with Mr Hichilema.
“The matter has been resolved and in future we will inform police. We agreed to abide by the provisions of the POA,” Mr Mwiimbu said.
Meanwhile, a Daily Nation reporter Wallen Simwaka, was detained in police cells for 30 minutes after an altercation with police officers who attempted to bar him from covering the event.
“One overzealous police officer accused me of having conducted myself wrongly after I challenged him over his refusal to allow me entry,” Mr Simwaka said after his release from police cells.

Zambia police under the pf has lost the plot. One can tell that they are being controlled by tthe executive. How do you make some one sign paper sayin i will abide by law. Kiki by virtue of him being citizen it means he has agreed to uphold the law of zambia. Very dull. A clear sign of having no credible charges for hh. Lungus personal directions for tramped up charges is not working because even the police realise that is not right and know he is in coming president. The world is watching and so are zambians. Viva hh viva upnd.

Did Nawakwi inform the Police when she was addressing meetings in kabwe rural the other day, at Chief Mukuni?
Hello Haters

Even chagwa didn’t inform them about the rally in mwinilunga, i guess hh is more important to this nation than the other presidents including chagwa, the police should know wherever he goes, we really appreciate for their concerns, but they should worry more on the whereabouts of the global trotting chagwa.

It is better to protect him from any troubles that might come at any given time.The same people in future you will blame the police for not acting quickly.That was good despite what nature is.Same cadres where thinking how to go and get shake shake in order to disturb the situation.Nekomwaumfwa ati HH balemutwala ku police lubilo pantu mulefimwena mukolwa noku panga ifyongo ifya bula inshila.Ati CADRES…Wake up Dollar yalipena.
Generally let him be protected like any other citizen of this Country.We need him to provide checks and balances to the government of the day.

They couldn’t arrest HH because the case wouldn’t have gone anywhere,Moreover ka Miles was ati lilanda market the following day without notifying the police.It would have looked stupid for Chagwa to charge HH so they just advised him to save face.

Iwee the government has the duty to maintain law and order. UPND has no responsibility at all. So when they become cantakerous like they usually do, the GRZ has to force them back to the correct path.
We still need UPND especially after the distruction of MMD by one Nevers Sekwila Mumba and Rupiah Bwezani Banda.

well NEZ, no one knows the fact about who is going to win the 2016 elections. As you know from what has been going on and from your own experience that HH has been trying to do his best all these passed years but he failed. Anyway, only God knows just keep on praying for him. As for me i accept whoever comes!
