Govt wants Kambwili detained until next week – Tembo

Patriots for Economic Progress President Sean Tembo claims he has information of a ploy to keep defunct NDC president Chishimba Kambwili in detention without being taken to court or being given Police bond until next week. 

Mr Tembo has described the move as totally unacceptable which must be condemned by all well meaning citizens. 

Mr. Tembo who visited Dr. Kambwili at Lusaka Central Police Station where he is being detained says there is no sound legal basis for the continued detention of the NDC leader. 

He says Dr. Kambwili’s continued incarceration without being taken to court or being given police bond constitutes extrajudicial punishment and must not be allowed in a Constitutional Republic.
