Nkana MP Mpundu Arrested For Seditious Practices

Nkana Member of Parliament, Binwell Mpundu, has been arrested for the offence of seditious practices.

Police Spokesperson, Rae Hamoonga, says Mr. Mpundu has been detained in police custody pending the fulfillment of police bond conditions and will appear in court soon.

Mr. Hamoonga says Mr. Mpundu, on December 20, 2024, using his Facebook page under the name “Hon. Binwell Mpundu Nkana MP,” published an article titled “Defend Yourselves with Equal Measure.”

He says the article allegedly incited members of the public and politicians to acquire firearms in preparation for self-defense.

Mr. Hamoonga told ZNBC News that the act is deemed prejudicial to public order in the Republic of Zambia.

He says the incident is reported to have occurred at an unknown location.
