@Mule_Kaipambe @Sika_lennon Sexual offenders need stiffer punishment. That said, our justice system is too slow for this.
On social media, you’ll have; Logical people vs Emotional people. In the end one side will ignore all logical points and just label the other side as “rapists” or “enablers”.

I am still of the opinion that this is bad law. Before this law, bail was granted on a case to case basis and for me, that was the best approach.
This however, will have accused persons punished before being found guilty. It goes against the presumption of innocence.
Denial of bail, should never be looked at as a form of punishment and a deterrent measure for other will-be offenders, because at the point of bail, we are unsure of the guilt or innocence of the accused person.
We should be moving towards making more offences bailable, as long as accused persons meet the requirements for admission to bail.
Also, considering our President at one point was charged with a non bailable offence on charges that many say were trumped up for close to, or over half a year, I expected that we learned from that… but here we are, increasing the number of non- bailable offences.

All sexual offences such as rape, defilement, and incest have been made non-bailable, following the amended Criminal Procedure Code Act No. 4 of 2026. #NewsOnTheGo

@ngomabest196 @GNsakalika First things first, sexual predators need stiffer punishment.
The intentions on the law are okay. While we are at it, our justice system is too slow to implement this without creating “new victims” in the process.

@RodneyKala4645 @LankyObserver Lack of funding. Zambia has over 30 registered political parties, some, if not most of them have “questionable” leaders but they manage to get registered. John is not only a lawyer, but also a seasoned State Counsel. Paperwork should not be an issue for him.

@LankyObserver Do you think the withdrawal was largely bldue to the establishment-engineered structural bottlenecks MNR face say at PACRA and the permits for countrywide townhall conferences?

@Malik_ZMB Some would argue that the main reason is lack of capacity to finance campaigns. You can’t crowdfund your way into State House. The American way of openly asking for donations from your base doesn’t work here. In Zambia it’s the opposite, you have to donate to your supporters.

@BuyoyaJonah There’s no shame in admitting that you do not have money for campaigns.

@h_chileshe @KVLENGA Business wise, it was a good deal. Larfage bought a cement plant for about $700M. Months later Syria was in turmoil then they paid about $8M as protection money to keep the plant running during the civil war. A small price to pay to stop ISIL from destroying your business.

@iamhesk More like engineered red tape so that the agents can thrive

@ZeMwene Agents have a cartel with RTSA employees. They pay them

@Space2013M Then the Kalimbwes will come online and complain about how major lucrative sectors are owned by foreigners, as if we have laws that prohibit locals from investing in mines and refineries. Let’s just continue watching.

Almost every day, I run into fellow Zambians who claim they can mobilize millions of USDs for various projects in Zambia. More recently, a politician, Mudolo, claimed he can also mobilize millions of USDs. So, what has stopped Zambians from putting up an oil refinery after 62yrs?
