Zambia strips ex-president of immunity from prosecution

MARCH 16, 2013 | BY KNEWS | FILED UNDER NEWS

LUSAKA (Reuters) – Zambia’s parliament stripped former President Rupiah Banda of immunity from prosecution yesterday, clearing the way for investigators to arrest him for corruption-related offences.

Banda is accused of abuse of office, corrupt acquisition of public property and misappropriation of public funds involving more than $11 million during his tenure as president.

Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba said the government had concluded its investigations and were ready to prosecute.
“We bring this motion in the interest of the country,” Kabimba said,
Banda was swept from office in 2011 by current President Michael Sata, whose government has launched several high-profile graft probes into deals struck by the former administration while it ran Africa’s biggest copper-producing country.
Kabimba has accused Banda of siphoning $2.5 million from the treasury in a 2008 oil deal and the former president has also been accused of using public funds to finance his 2011 campaign.

Banda’s lawyer Robert Amsterdam said in a statement that yesterday’s action in parliament was aimed at getting rid of political competitors.
Sata’s government has already won convictions against a few Banda officials and has been investigating suspected shortfalls in tax collection revenues from copper.
In February, Banda who then enjoyed immunity from prosecution, refused to appear before a team of investigators, which summoned him for questioning on graft allegations.

It is good that they are exposing their support for the PNC. The Berbice ballot box killings that the army was involved in is well documented. If PNC supporters like Storm and Redux takes their time to read up, they will get it.

It is a total insult to the family of those who were killed in Berbice. But it seems that killings of Indo Guyanese by a PNC led Afro government is totally acceptable to Storm and Redux.
