 As we said yesterday and partly this month as you other colleagues, the continued harassment of opposition leaders and this time around even the members of parliament, whose offices enjoy certain cateces and privileges, thanks to the laws of the republic exam. Under normal circumstances, you would not have a member of parliament arrested in the manner that all of us Shaka Prusa was arrested. First of all, a member of parliament by practice is that if there is anything that is suspected to have breached the law, a notice would be given to the speaker to seek consent that that member would actually be detained. But because we have a president who has no regard of any office or anyone in the republic of Zambia and I think he has assumed an attitude of being a god himself to a point where the things that he did not agree with when he was in opposition is actually now perpetuating them even to levels that nobody can even believe. A president that would be threatening everybody, threatening councilors, threatening mayors, threatening members of parliament and is trying to give validation to threats by harassing members like Hono Boshaka Prusa. Under normal circumstances, he should have already been released by now. He was arrested yesterday, spent a night in detention. After the processes at Central Police, what was expected of him to be accorded an opportunity to be released on bond because that's what the law dictates. But he has been shifted to another police station and is detained. And we are just hearing now that there are instructions being meted out here, obviously from status on how he should be treated at the Kawata station. So this harassment here of a member will not be condemned. The only thing that the UPND are introducing is basically opposition beginning to use police stations as platform for having rallies. He is a provincial chairman for Lusaka province. As we speak now, members in all the seven constituencies of Lusaka district are actually walking towards Kawata police station. And we are ready to address them. And that is what is going to begin to happen moving forward because it looks like instead of having normal operations of mobilizing the party, police stations will become conduits for us to mobilize the party. And since the members are beginning to suggest they will come to the police station to see their chairman, we have no choice but to allow them to do so because from yesterday up to now, nothing has happened and we will be able to address them from here. We are going to come here until he is released. If he is not released, as the members come, we will be addressing him. Has he made all the bond conditions? He has made all the bond conditions. First of all, even before we talk about surities, he is a member of parliament, or fixed a bond. That is enough reason for which he will be granted bond on his own recognisance, without any further conditions that you want to add. He is a member of parliament representing the people of Mandevu. And actually Mandevu is one of the biggest constituencies in terms of numbers. Where he is sitting there in those cells, over 100,000 voters are seated with him in that cell. So if he does not know, by locking up Mr. Shakafuswa, he has locked up the entire Mandevu in that cell. But let me not say much, we have President Shantembo here and please allow me to make a comment. I think for us our major bone of plantation is the manner in which the UPND administration are actually enforcing the law. When you look at this particular issue, first of all, I must mention that I am from the cells. I went to see Honore Bo Shakafuswa and he is in very high spirits, which is good. But he explained to me that early in the morning around eight hours you are taken from cells to service headquarters. Remember you are detained at Sentinel Police and at service headquarters they proceeded to do a one-and-question to him. And after that they brought him here at Kawata Police where they proceeded to effect an arrest. So after they effected that arrest, the sureties were laid, two sureties. Those sureties are members of parliament and they've got their letters of introduction, they've got their analysis, they've got all the bond conditions. But what the officers from service headquarters did is that they said they'll come back again. If they really wanted to give Honore Bo Shakafuswa bond, why did they have to go back to service headquarters and say we'll come back again to process bond for him. So you can see there that there is a hidden agenda. And there is a particular officer who is the arresting officer, Detective Murife. He is the one who is supposed to facilitate that particular bond to Honore Bo Shakafuswa. And if Detective Murife has a hidden agenda against Honore Bo Shakafuswa, he needs to tell us so that we can ask for another officer to start dealing with the matter. Otherwise there's no reason why Honore Bo Shakafuswa needed to be bundled back into the cell after he was charged and arrested. There's no reason whatsoever other than harassment. And for us we've always stated very clearly that there's a very clear distinction between law enforcement and harassment. We want to enforce the law if you want to arrest a suspect. It is a process of one hour you've arrested that suspect, you've charged them and you've extended bonds to them. Unless you want to harass them. And what we want to challenge the inspector general of Boris Orn is that if they don't want to give bond to Honore Bo Shakafuswa, they need to take him to court. The matter is just behind here. They can take him to court even this afternoon and we are going to proceed to apply for bail from the major street. It's a simple process. So the worst thing that they can ever do is to detain him without extending bonds to him, without extending bail to him. That is totally unacceptable. It is unconstitutional. And even President Haka Inda Ichilema himself, when he was being sold into office, he made it very clear he committed himself to the Zambian people that his government is not going to be detaining people without bond and without bail. But we see the exact opposite of what Haka Inda was saying when he was being sold in, which is totally regrettable. And even the arrest itself, when you look at the arrest of Honore Bo Shakafuswa yesterday, he was arrested at a shopping mall in front of his children and his wife. And as we speak even right now, his children, some of them as young as 6 years old, are still traumatized. To have seen their father being handcuffed and being bundled in a police vehicle, a person who is a member of parliament, why should you treat them like that? As if they've committed a pharoni, as if they've committed a serious offense, when what is accused of committing is just a misdemeanor. It's a minor offense. Insighting violence in the penal code is a minor offense. It's a misdemeanor. It's something that you can get away with an admission of beautifying of 55 kwacha. And you are released. It's a very minor offense. So for such a minor offense, why should Honore Bo Shakafuswa be detained from yesterday and up to now they are still delivering from releasing him? There can be no other possible reason other than harassment of the opposition. So from our standpoint, President Hagaende Hrema has declared war on the opposition. He has declared war on the opposition. And he has made it a mission of himself to ensure that he harasses any outspoken opposition leader, he harasses them and he rocks them out. But he can be rest assured that we are going to stand up to that. We are going to reciprocate his brutality with an appropriate response through the people of Zambia. We should be rest assured that we are going to stand up to that.
