Former Finance Minister Dr. Katele Kalumba has been granted bail pending trial of K100,000 in his own recognizance, with two working sureties in the like sum, in a matter in which he is charged with seditious practices.

Dr. Kalumba is accused of making remarks with the intention of harassing and humiliating President Hakainde Hichilema.

When the matter came up this morning before Lusaka Resident Magistrate Webster Milumbe, Dr. Kalumba indicated that he unequivocally admitted to the charge, stating that he was merely offering counsel to President Hichilema.

However, after explaining that he was not aware of the other words contained in the charge sheet, the court entered a plea of not guilty.

Dr. Kalumba's arrest follows a viral video in which he was allegedly seen making threatening statements against the President.

The matter has since been adjourned to November 10, 2026, for commencement of trial.

Dr. Kalumba will remain in custody until he meets the bail conditions.

KATANEKWA CONDEMNS CALLS TO REMOVE PETAUKE MP FROM PARLIAMENT

Socialist Party Member of the Central Committee Harriet Bwalya Mulenga Katanekwa has condemned calls by some UPND cadres for the removal of Petauke Member of Parliament Yaliwe Banda from Parliament over her brother JJ Banda’s political differences with the President and the State.

Ms Katanekwa says the two are separate individuals and should be judged on their own actions and merits.

She maintains that Ms Banda earned her position in Parliament through her own efforts and should not face political pressure because of her family ties.

Ms Katanekwa has urged those calling for the lawmaker’s removal to uphold fairness and allow her political career to be determined by her own conduct and performance, rather than her brother’s circumstances.

She says family relationships should not be used as a basis for political punishment.

M’MEMBE OPPOSES CALL FOR ARCHBISHOP ALICK BANDA TO STEP ASIDE

Socialist Party President Fred M’membe has opposed calls for Lusaka Catholic Archbishop Alick Banda to temporarily step aside from his pastoral duties while legal proceedings involving him continue.

Dr M’membe says the Archbishop should be allowed to continue serving while the matter is handled through the courts, citing the constitutional principle that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

He says decisions concerning the administration and duties of a Catholic Archbishop fall under the authority of the Holy See in Rome and relevant Vatican authorities.

Dr M’membe has further warned that asking the Archbishop to step aside could create the public impression that he has admitted wrongdoing before the legal process is concluded.

He has called on the faithful to maintain peace, unity and solidarity, while allowing the courts to determine the matter in accordance with the law.

Meanwhile, Catholic Archbishop Alick Banda is expected to stand trial on November 3, 2026, in a case involving a motor vehicle suspected to have been unlawfully obtained from the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA).

Archbishop Banda appeared before the Lusaka Magistrates Court for mention, where Resident Magistrate Mwandu Nakazwe Sakala adjourned the matter to November 3 for commencement of trial.

He is charged under Section 319 of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

According to the particulars of the charge, Archbishop Banda allegedly possessed a blue Toyota Hilux, registration number ALF 7734, between April 22, 2021, and December 27, 2023. The vehicle is reasonably suspected to have been unlawfully obtained from ZRA.

The archbishop has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

He is on bail of K80,000 in his own recognisance, with three working sureties each bound in the sum of K50,000 in their own recognisance.

Archbishop Banda was formally arrested on September 28, 2026, following a warn-and-caution statement recorded from him on January 5, 2026.
The trial is scheduled to begin on November 3, 2026.

ZRA ALLOCATES 23 BILLION CUBIC METRES OF WATER FOR 2027 POWER GENERATION

The Zambezi River Authority has approved 23 billion cubic metres of water for electricity generation in 2027, to be shared equally between Zambia’s ZESCO Limited and Zimbabwe Power Company.

ZRA Public Relations and Communications Manager Selusiwe Moyo says each utility will receive 11.5 billion cubic metres, while the revised 2026 allocation remains unchanged at 36 billion cubic metres.

Ms. Moyo says as of October 14, 2026, Lake Kariba stood at 480.65 metres above sea level, with 23.77 billion cubic metres of usable water, representing 36.68 percent of its usable storage capacity.

She says the 2026/2027 rainfall outlook indicates an increased likelihood of below-normal rainfall due to El Niño conditions.

Ms. Moyo says the Authority will continue monitoring water availability and usage while coordinating with both power utilities to ensure the sustainable management of Lake Kariba.
