UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) vice-president for administration Geoffrey Mwamba has allegedly gone into hiding after police in Kasama sought him for “an interview” over meetings he held.
And in a posting on his Facebook wall, Mr Mwamba admits that the police are looking for him and he will avail himself today.
Northern Province acting commissioner of police Lackson Sakala said in an interview yesterday that Mr Mwamba has allegedly been holding political meetings without notifying the police.
Mr Sakala said Mr Mwamba has allegedly gone into hiding but that the police will “fish” him out.
“We want him to come to the police tomorrow for some interviews. He was holding meetings without notifying the police.
“He is in hiding and we are looking for him,” Mr Sakala said.
He urged Mr Mwamba to lead by example as a person who has served as a member of Parliament (MP).
“He has actually been a law-maker, so he should lead by example and abide by the laws of Zambia. If he wants to hold any meeting, he should notify the police,” he said.
Mr Sakala said the police will diligently execute their duties and firmly deal with individuals who break the law, regardless of their political affiliation.
“Anything to the contrary, we are not going to spare anyone because no-one is above the law,” he said.
In a posting on his Facebook wall, Mr Mwamba admitted that the police were looking for him.
“Later on they brought a police call-out to my home and I have agreed to meet them at the station at 12 tomorrow [today],” the Facebook posting reads in part.
Mr Mwamba’s cellphone was off by press time.

Chi Mushimba kambwili was last week boasting of giving HH and GBM permition to hold meetings in the kopala but he said they could not hold those meetings anywhere becoz they were not popular. Now I can’t understand why the police is arresting a person who can not hold any meeting for holding a meeting. Ba kapokola naba P.F ubukopo awe sure. That’s why the dollar is now selling at k9

Kiki you think our VP can go hiding. Hide from who? Why hide in his own country? We know that the police are controlled and directed by little boy lungu. The victimisation of opposition leaders will not stop the wind of change or put food on people’s tables. PF you time is up bane. If i were you i would start putting in place structures to help your future as you will be unemployed come 2016. We ask all well meaning zambians to join us in this revolution for change. Vote upnd

Lungu chagwa is like a dog that has got rabies–which is scared of any sound it hears no matter how little or faint it is.GBM went to market to buy food supplies which he is entitled just like Lungu is–So what was wrong if people went where he was to greet him?Kachakolwa is just scared of his own shadow–Scared of losing next elections. Rigging wont work for him this time.Good bye JAWS.

It is becoming very hard for Lungu and his team to suddenly realise that they areloosing popularity at an alarming rate throughout Zambia. As such he is bound to use any means at his disposal to try and slow the opposition’s efforts to get rid of his corrupt team—Manje tizayenda kuti?Bazifusa beka! KAYA IYO!
