 of the press. First and foremost, let me apologize. That I'm not very well. I've had the flu for the past four days. I was supposed to have been at Intuara, the traditional ceremony. I've had the flu for the past four days. Fortunately yesterday I called people to come and test me for COVID and it came out negative and that I just had this common cold. And I've not been in bed taking a rest for the past four days. But I'm compelled to call this press briefing because of what has happened today concerning all of the people in Kama. Where I come from, where I come from, they say Oshibu Tukeram temu wa muwi no wa kwe upowa. And also where I come from, in Bemba we say, in Bemba we say Rimbule Sansa, Karilla Mena Mishira. Rimbule Sansa, Karilla Mena Mishira. If you understand the two technologies, Bemba ideals that I've used, you realize that it is important for me to talk about this issue. Agentally, I'm not to wait for two or three days. President Haka in the Ichigemanga, while in opposition and while in an avalanche did condemn the arrests of people that you even know that they've not committed any offence, but just to arrest them and detain them as a way of punishing them. We did agree at so many fora with President Rimbule Inchilema that once we come into office, once we come into power, those arrests will be a thing of the past. And history tells us, the old papers of history is to learn good practices and discard bad practices. You make reference to history in order for you to learn good practices and discard bad practices. My dear brother H.H. Connamed in all and strongest terms, this kind of arrests. I remember very well when I went to visit him at Mukoveco, when he was incarcerated for over three months over that moon incident, which everybody, including myself, knew that what was committed in moon was a mere traffic offence. But because they wanted to detain H.H. for longer than necessary in order to punish him, it was charged with a, with a treason. Knowing for sure that when you charge somebody with treason, there is no bail. It's a non-bail offence. But because someone, somewhere, the system felt that they needed to detain him for a longer period when they knew that the man had not committed treason. And indeed he was detained for close to three months. I connamed that arrest in all and strongest terms because H.H. is human, as much as I am, family man with children, with a wife, who also were affected. Everybody, it is trauma, very serious trauma, that the family went through, family of H.H. when he was arrested and put in Mukoveco for three months. As if that is not enough. Conrad Muaritat was arrested and charged with an offence of aggravated robbery, which we all knew that aggravated robbery is a non-bail offence. Together with the current culpability, minister, honorable Matamo, Alicia Matamo, my neighbor here in Wanshe. They were arrested, charged with an offence that they never committed. They stayed for one year in prison, one year in prison. At the end of it all, they were acquitted because they did not commit an offence, but because they wanted to detain them for longer than necessary, they came up with an offence of aggravated robbery. Conrad, an honorable friend, my brother-in-law, Gary Cuomo, was accused of murder during the Livingstone by-election. My dear brother was charged with murder, was detained until a knowledge prospect was entered after a few months of spending in prison. Mrs. Mukuni and the three others equally were detained for close to two months for an offence that they never committed. Today we are told that Mrs. Mukuni and the three others have been compensated to the tune of 2.5 million with 400,000 each as legal fees. The question is, who is going to take up this bill of the 2.5 million plus 400,000 legal fees for these people? When they were arresting them, police knew for sure that they are not committed this offence, but when they were arrested, I condemned that arrest in no one's strongest tense. I am a victim of arrests. Countrymen and women. Victim of arrests. I had 39 counts in one court and another 11 counts in different courts, tramptown charges, just to try and arrest me, put me in detention. And I went to prison for one of the different cases. I was sent to prison for not committing an offence at all, but because people just wanted me behind bars. I was charged for the case that I never did and ended up in prison for over 17 days before I lived. Now, countrymen and women, after giving me this anecdote of things that used to happen in the previous administration, are we ready as engineers to continue supporting illegalities and continue arresting people who have not committed offences, capital offences, as it were. For instance, on Rekomuni Piri, as this morning being charged, arrested and charged for murder of Laurence Bander during the Kaoma bi-reactions. We all know, including the president, knows that yes, Mumi Piri might have been there. I don't have the facts whether she was there or not. But we all know that she might have been there. But she's not the person who killed Laurence Bander. She's not the person who pulled the trigger to kill our brother, Laurence Bander, in cold blood, the death that I condemned in no one's strongest terms, just as much as I'm condemning the arrest and charging Mumi Piri with murder. When we all know, we are all convinced, beyond this anecdote, as I'm going to demonstrate, that Mumi Piri never killed Laurence Bander. But today, Mumi Piri has been arrested and charged with murder because the system knows, the government knows that when you are charged with murder, it's not bearable. You have to rotate in prison, like my dear brother, honorable for the copper belt, spent one year in prison. Now, is this what we want, examines, that every government that comes must be using the police to set us calls, must be using the police for the tribulation, must be using the police to revenge for what they went through. This is unacceptable. And I think I'm calling upon the international community, the church, and all the NGOs to condemn the arrest of Mumi Piri for murder, because we all know that Mumi Piri did not murder Laurence Bander. May Laurence Bander so rest in peace. And I'll demonstrate here. President Aga in the Italy man, where is my phone? But I was preparing the phone to keep here to use. You take it, I will take it out. I'm sorry. You forgive me. You saw when I came, I said, I'm preparing a video. I don't know why the phone was taken away. There is a video here of this exams. President Aga in the Italy man, during the value of Laurence Bander. And this is what our president said. Just give me a moment so I can play this video. Thank you, Lord. Just bear with me.
