Corruption Allegations Surround Fugitive MP and Business Partner in Zambia

LUSAKA -- Allegations of corruption, criminal activity, and judicial manipulation are surfacing around Emmanuel J.J. Banda, a fugitive Member of Parliament (MP), and his business associate, Ackson Tembo, owner of ACK Logistics. Both men are accused of leading a powerful network, known as the "ACK Cartel," that is allegedly embedded within Zambia's police service and judicial systems, enabling them to escape legal accountability.

According to sources close to the investigations, Mr. Banda and Mr. Tembo have built extensive connections with key figures in law enforcement especially the judiciary, facilitating the cartel's ability to operate without fear of prosecution. One source, who preferred to remain anonymous, stated that the cartel has “infiltrated the police and judicial systems,” making it difficult for other authorities to take action against them.

The alleged network is said to involve top police officials, politicians, and influential figures. A senior official, who spoke under condition of anonymity, claimed that Mr. Banda and Mr. Tembo’s connections with the UPND “have allowed them to evade arrests and continue their illegal activities. In return, Mr. Tembo showers authorities with money.

Reports indicate that Mr Banda, a fugitive of 2020 and now, has used the same connections to escape legal consequences multiple times. “In 2020, when Mr Banda was supposed to be arrested over the offense of attacking the Lusaka Central Police where he beat up police officers, Mr Tembo allegedly helped him cross into Mozambique,” one police source revealed. “They’re well-protected, and every time authorities get close to apprehending them, there’s an intervention from someone high up.”

One of the most concerning aspects of the allegations is the claim of judicial manipulation. According to reports, Mr Banda and Mr Tembo have used their connections with judicial figures appointed by former Pres

*Zambia Community Development Initiative Program Calls for Presidential Pardon for Chishimba Kambwili*

Lusaka, Zambia - Hendrix Nyambe, Executive Director of the Zambia Community Development Initiative Program (ZCDIP), has appealed to President Hakainde Hichilema to consider pardoning former Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili.

Dr. Kambwili recently suffered a devastating loss when two of his brothers Mutale and Mwamba Kambwili) died in a fatal road accident while he was traveling to kasama to attend a court session which was due on Wednesday, 16th October 2024.

The ZCDIP Executive Director has sympathized with Me. Kambwili and his Family for the loss and has emphasized that this tragic event, combined with Dr. Kambwili's advanced age and deteriorating health, warrants compassionate consideration.

"Dr. Kambwili's situation is a poignant reminder of the importance of mercy and forgiveness," Mr. Nyambe stated.

"In the spirit of the National Day of Prayer, Fasting, Repentance, and Reconciliation, we urge President Hichilema to consider pardoning Dr. Kambwili."

Dr. Kambwili, who is over 60 years old, is currently serving a court sentence for hate speech, which he has appealed against. His health has worsened since the accident, making him eligible for presidential pardon on medical grounds.

The ZCDIP, an organization advocating for the welfare of seniors citizens, believes that Dr. Kambwili's remorse and apology for past actions and mistakes demonstrate his commitment to reconciliation.

"We hope that President Hichilema will consider Dr. Kambwili's plea and that of his family, who are struggling to support him during this challenging time," Mr. Nyambe added.

The decision to pardon Dr. Kambwili now rests with President Hichilema, sparking debate on the role of mercy and compassion in Zambia's justice system.

INDEPENDENCE MESSAGE

As Zambians commemorate the country’s 60th Independence Anniversary tomorrow under the theme: “60 Years Strong: Honoring Our Heritage, Embracing the Future,” we need to take a serious introspection on the plight of an adolescent girl and boy with regards to access to and provision of quality Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

This year’s theme resonates well with our efforts as Medicines Research and Access Platform (MedRAP) of ensuring a society that embraces the future, and in this case we mean a society that leaves no adolescent behind, for they are the future of this nation.

You will agree with me that currently, and according to recent statistics, Zambia’s population is predominantly young, with slightly over 50 percent of the 20 million people being adolescents.

Over the years, this age group has been the most vulnerable to numerous social challenges including poor reproductive health outcomes which in most cases, result in teenage pregnancy, child marriages and school dropouts.

Zambia has formulated some of the most progressive policy documents on the Africa continent while at the same time, has committed to ratify and domesticate a number of regional and international treaties that aim to safeguard the welfare of our adolescents in order to preserve the future of the country.

For instance, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994 affirmed that Sexual and Reproductive Health and rights (SRHR) are human rights.

Zambia has also committed to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), some of which are directly linked to SRHR and these are: ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages (Goal 3); ensuring quality education for all (Goal 4); achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls (Goal 5); reduced inequalities (Goal 10); and enhancing partnerships to achieve SDGs (17).

Sadly, year in, year out, we keep recording high numbers of teenag
