Patriotic Front Vice President Given Lubinda has been arrested by the police over alleged failure to appear before the Parliamentary Privileges Committee of the National Assembly.
PF member of the Central Committee and Deputy Chairperson for information and publicity Emmanuel Mwamba has confirmed.
Mr. Mwamba says the arrest follows the former Kabwata lawmaker’s remarks against the Speaker’s decision to suspend some Patriotic Front (PF) members of parliament whose elections were nullified.
Currently, PF officials are making efforts to organise sureties for Mr. Lubinda’s bond pending a court appearance.
