First of all I would like to thank my legal team for the work that they have done I also want to thank the leadership of the Socialist Party the members of the Socialist Party the supporters of the Socialist Party and I also want to thank the police officers who were working under very difficult conditions. You could read it on their faces that they were not happy with what they are being made to do not everybody is a judicist, but I want to say one thing to Mr. Kainde Hirema and those around him this country will not be good for any of us including Mr. Kainde Hirema himself if it's not good for all of us yes intimidation cannot work on some of us I've been in many struggles yes which Mr. Kainde has never been in and I also want to remind Mr. Hirema that the blood of a member warrior runs through me so it gives me the courage it gives me the determination yes I also want to remind Mr. Hirema that the wisdom of the losses yes runs through my blood one time a combination of loss wisdom and the member courage is not something Mr. Kainde can conquer if there are people who are used to being intimidated if it people if there are people who are cowards it's not some of us I also want to thank this brother of mine he was far away on the copper belt he made a lot of effort to travel from the copper belt to come here he had no business in Osaka today is here because of me I have no right to be ungrateful to this brother of mine exactly brother Chimba I'm very grateful there's also is an elder brother the pastor here is also here because of me solidarity is important we have to be there for each other yes is it destroying this country with the tribalism that we have never seen yes is it destroying this country with corruption very grand corruption very high corruption that we have never seen before if you this is a new level of corruption we never used to hear about if he and also we are seeing an increasing abuse of the police by aka indians police officers are not his employees they are not his headsmen for nobody has succeeded in this country to play politics by using the police all those who have attempted to use the police for politics have failed every regime that has attempted to use the police for politics has failed her kinder is no exception he's coming for us but also let me tell him that we're also coming for you thank you very much thank you very much that you allegedly assaulted somebody what you have to say about that i've never assaulted anybody in my life in my adult life i've carried a gun i can say i started associating with guns in 1976 i've carried a gun since 1978 both in this country and in other countries including the UK i've never shot at anybody i fired the two shots i i did not hide it i've said it before i fired the two shots in the air to save life if i did not do so a person would have been killed or more would have been killed in that incidence i never aimed a gun at anybody there's nobody who was hit because of my gun and mind you the pistol involved is a 0.45 the bullets of that are almost near to that over an AK-47 if i'd aimed at him he wouldn't be surviving and i'm a sniper trained by the zombie and military tactics i know how to shoot yes i wouldn't have missed him the truth is i never fired a shot at anyone and they don't have problems trying to prove that the slides they have concocted because immediately that incident happened a kinder was telling telling the whole country that i shouldn't be carrying arms he never carried arms when he was in opposition he was commenting on a matter that was a fact he didn't even know he was so eager to display his ignorance on that matter we are aware we are because a kinder is putting pressure on the police to arrest me and find me wanting over this matter but he will not succeed lies have short legs you can try to concoct things but it won't work in this case i never fired at anyone i never assaulted anyone i was assaulted i reported the people assaulted me in a police post and at the police station in syringes they have not been arrested up to this very day we were attacked our attackers have not been arrested and we met we launched complaints with the police that's how mr kinder is running the country the because if you are land up against other regimes if you use the police you never manage i expect i'm as far as using police is concerned but no so you. This has hit him very bad. Being released at 19 hours, pressure on him. Now, when that's done, pretend. To release somebody at the 18 hours, but once you make up pressure, foreign dignitaries, local people, I have said, when you arrest one opposition leader and frame the ground, you have arrested all of us. Yes, I'm proud.
