Lungu ‘visits’ Mwaliteta

President Elect Edgar Lungu today made a surprise move by checking on former Lusaka Province Minister Obvious Mwaliteta during his visit of Lusaka Central Prison, also known as Chimbokaila.

Mwaliteta is remanded in Prison for a case of aggravated robbery. He was Lusaka Province Minister under Lungu’s previous regime until few weeks before the Parliament got dissolved when Mwaliteta  resigned and joined Opposition UPND.

During campaign, Mwaliteta  was part of the opposition’s senior cadres who vigorously campaigned against Lungu.

He was arrested days after election day after he allegedly grabbed election materials from ECZ officials in the presence of presidential aide Kaizer Zulu.

Mwaliteta is a former Kafue Member of Parliament.
