 Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Please, please. Your Excellency, we have restricted our movement inside there. So what to do, I think? So just clear us. Just clear the road. Just move back, please. Guys, clear. Clear the way. Open up. Clear the way. Open up. Guys, just clear the road. Don't push anyone. That's it. Dude, calm down. Breathe. Just wait for a chance. Even if you don't make it this far, you're likely to lose some money. Just wait, just wait. Guys, come over here, we'll find the money. tworer, donor, donor. Just wait and see. Not bad, not bad! Look at the Parisians, here, look at the people. Don't put the glasses on! Don't put the glasses on! That's exactly what I was talking about. I'm crying. He is in the president. Look at him! Look at him! Thank you, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, we are here at Ibex Hill Police Station where the former First Lady, Mama Esther Lungwe, has been charged and arrested and has since been detained. I think the lawyers are battling to get a police bond. They will come and brief you about that matter. I am accompanied by Honourable Nakachinda, who is our member of the Central Committee and Chair for Information, leader of the Opposition and Environment, Honourable Brian Munduwine, and members of the Central Committee that are all here. I will invite Honourable Nakachinda to speak first, then I will invite Honourable Munduwine to speak after that. Honourable Nakachinda. Right, this is pure political persecution. We have, unfortunately, in the highest office of the land, a gentleman that is paranoid, desperate, and highly, highly afraid of his own shadow. The sentiment that he has been making publicly, directives that he has been giving and orders to the police, and manifesting in what you clearly can see and professional conduct. We have there, our mother, the former First Lady, who was a victim of having her property stolen. And in the process of wanting to recover, reported to the police, and the police did help to recover, unfortunately, only remnants of what was stolen from her, which was basically money. And there was even a process of sitting, because those people who stole, pleaded saying that as a mother of the nation, having occupied that high office, would want her to exercise mercy and allow us to atone. And then they decided that because of political, you know, manipulation, that has now been turned to suggest that the former First Lady committed a crime, when in fact she was a victim of people stealing from her. It is really shameful that today, just because somebody has convinced himself that his greatest threat for his political future lies in President Edgar Tagualongo. Instead of using wisdom to handle this matter, it looks like God has denied him that virtue. Like so of the Bible, when people began to sing for David, appreciating his work, so allowed his heart to be turned into a heart of darkness. The end result is that the very person who was persecuted, God favored him. This persecution is only attracting the favor of God over President Lungu and his wife, and under Agua Ambiram Patangu, HH, you are courting trouble for nothing. The people of Zambia are going through troubles in terms of the high cost of living and other things. Such cases don't make sense. Allow me to allow lawyers to articulate what I think has happened in there. But from a political point of view, this nonsense will only go to haunt Mr. Akkha in the HLM. Thank you. We have a leader of the opposition in parliament. He was seated with us during the entire process when they gave a warning question and when they proceeded to charge him. Probably speak to those facts and then give your political comments. Yes, I think firstly what was important to note is that the former First Lady responded to police call-out and she came. The warning question statement was recorded. They proceeded to effect an arrest. From there, all we expected was for them to give a bond because it's within her rights. And especially that President Akkha in the HLM has been preaching. The rule of law has been preaching that they will ensure to say for any bondable offense they will give bond within reasonable time. Now, these delaying tactics that you are seeing now are just a confirmation of what most of us feared. Mingalato, which meant abandonment of the rule of law. These police officers are innocent. They are only carrying out a wrong instruction, a bad instruction from the head of state. They know what is right. And that is the reason why even as we engage them, we're engaging them with civility because they're working under very, very difficult situations. So what is pleasing President Akkha in the HLM is to see the former First Lady go in police cells. You are all witnesses to a statement that he made. He said, What they have done now amounts to And if I cut our extra long question, it means President Edgar Longu, because they are one, he's also been held. Now, this is what is giving President Akkha in the HLM some satisfaction, a very temporal, you know, form of satisfaction. I think what President Akkha in the HLM is supposed to focus on is how he's going to change the mindset of the people in Mandevu, who when he said Zambia, they say Dubunga, he needs to work on the formula to change that. Certainly what is happening now here will not change the statement of the people in Karikiriki. Their positions to remain the same. So fellow countrymen and women, this is just the beginning. We are likely to see West off things are not to witness him now because the president has entered a desperate mode. He's now very, very desperate seeing that everything that he said has tend to be the exact opposite. Fuel at 20, 15 Kuwait is now at 30. That's double. Price of minimum at 130 is now 300. Everything is in reverse. So he will resort to these tactics so that you cannot speak, but as an opposition political party and speaking on behalf of honorable members of parliament, we have resolved. We have made one sole mandate taking to the Zambian people that will fight to the hilt to protect the constitution of this country. And within the constitution are enshrined fundamental rights, rights to speak, rights to assemble. It is our job that was given to us by yourselves to go out there and defend you. And part of what I'm doing now is to stand firm and ensure that the democratic tenets of this country are family protected. I will invite Reverend Smiley to speak to the heart of women and the heart of leadership. Before she does that, I know you all want the charges. There are four counts like I stated. So three counts of motorbike effects. This relates to a certificate of title. Remember when they got the money, they went on this shopping spree. So there is a certificate of title they had surrendered during the agreement. So it's those four issues where the former First Lady has been jointly charged with these four other police officers that executed a complaint. Then in relation to her, she has one count where she's been charged for, you know, possession of that $400,000 suspected to be proceeds of crime. So those are the four charges. Are we clear? No, there are four charges, except that she has a more charged $400,000 process of crime. The others is just theft of those three motor vehicles. That's a difficult title. Like we have emphasized there was even a settlement, a settled agreement. But then, you know, the suspects became the victim and reported this criminal complaint to the police. So I invite Reverend Smiley just to speak to the third day where we have the former First Lady locked up here in police cells and denied police bond, even when we had two work insurances. Yes, I want to look into the face of our president, Haka in the each of them. I'm looking into your eyes and I want to remind you of three things. One, you are born of a woman. You were born of a woman. You have a mother. And I'm sure you honor and respect your mother. Esther Chagolungu is a mother of this nation. And you know how she traversed from north to south, east to west to touch the lives of people. Number two, Mr. Ichilema, you are supposed to respect the Constitution. You saw in front of the people of Zambia, you said you should protect the Constitution of Zambia. And you know that Zambia is a constitutional democracy. You are supposed, I'm reminding you and the people of Zambia are watching. Number three, I want to remind you that the people of Zambia, the people of Zambia have declared this nation a Christian nation where we have heard Christian values and principles. Surely, Mr. President, are you going to be the first one to start breaking our identity? We have an identity. We have a personality to respect and to honor. So I want to remind you of those things, but also allow me as a church leader to speak to my fellow church leaders. We have a responsibility. Church leaders, we have a responsibility. Let us not bury our heads in sand. We have to speak to the situation in the nation. We have to speak on behalf of the voiceless. There is a situation in our nation where Zambia is a peaceful nation, but we are quickly losing this peace that we have gained for so many years. The church leaders should provide the council to the president. Please provide the council. He has to honor our identity as a Christian nation. We are a nation of peace. We are a nation of love. Thank you, Mama. We will take questions before we discuss. Anyone who has any questions? Onigom, you mentioned about the delay in Zambia. Has she made all the conditions? I made all the conditions. I show you to the here. Everybody's here. We've been here since morning. We would have been out of here had they been acting in the process. So what's happening now? What are they waiting for? Somebody's going to make a phone call. President Naka and each of them are to celebrate that madamess along with nine policemen so that the president can smile. We saw the lawyers drive out. What does that mean? Would you believe that after all these preparations, somebody would say he didn't come with their stamp. They could not call a driver from four-side protest to bring a stamp if that's what it was needed? Do you want to do the city excuse like that? I mean it sounds childish. I didn't want to say it, but that's what it is. That's what they are waiting for. No, no, they've driven because the Mr. Yui and the entire team have left this place to go and the collective to get a stamp which they forgot in the morning. And I'm sure you saw me following Mr. Yui to the car. We have a caba, a tribal caba within the police that is being used as an arsenal against the opposition. And whenever they appear, just know that the opposition are in trouble. And they have this dramatic behavior that when they arrest as they have done, because the boss has to be satisfied like the leader of the opposition aside and said they needed to report that at least we have locked her in the cells. That is basically what is going on. I'm not surprised that it's the same police officer that handled cases like this. How many policemen do we have? 20,000. Why is it that it's only the same name against the PM? Check your facts. It's the same name. Mr. Yui has to be somewhere. And the whole is, it's the same people who as long as I've attended this police session, it's the same people. So you know that these are people with instructions. Yes, there are four others. Four others. And the details, the names are there, given the names to your colleagues. Okay, that's, thank you.
