VENGEANCE and divisive acts are evils destroying Zambia’s unity and the church which should continue to pray for peace, forgiveness and harmony while giving counsel to politicians regardless of their political affiliations, Christopher Kang’ombe has said. 

Past neuroscience studies have shown that while humans are sleeping, the brain remains highly active, consolidating memories and removing toxins accumulated during waking hours. While memory consolidation during sleep is a widely documented phenomenon, the processes underpinning it are yet to be fully elucidated.

University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers engineered a new type of CAR T-cell therapy that, in preclinical studies, selectively attacked cancer cells while sparing healthy cells, potentially reducing the likelihood of toxic side effects from this innovative cancer treatment. The cells were designed specifically to attack multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells found in the body’s bone marrow.

A STATE Counsel, Henry Mbushi, trading as HBM Advocates has been sued in the Lusaka High Court by a client for allegedly squandering and failing to remit his client’s settlement money in the sum of K2 million.

Mr Job Mabuti has complained that Government paid into HBM Advocates’ bank account, K2 million as compensation for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.  

Mr Mabuti alleged HBM had refused to pay over the said money received on his behalf.

He is therefore demanding for payment of K2, 000, 000.00 owed which money the lawyer had received as damages for false imprisonment from government.

He is also demanding damages for breach of trust, deprivation of use of funds received for his benefit and interest on the said debt.

In a statement of claim, Mr Mabuti stated that HBM and the firm of Messrs Muleza Mwiimbu and Company also of Lusaka represented him in a suit for recovery of damages for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution in the matter under cause number 231/HP/2015 he sued the Attorney General.

He stated that through a consent judgement, the State agreed to pay him K2 million in damages together with the amount of K300, 000 as legal costs. Mr Mabuti said in a letter dated May 19, 2023, Messrs Muleza Mwiimbu and Company wrote to the office of the Solicitor General at the Ministry of Justice to inquire if any payment had been made towards settlement of the plaintiff’s damages and costs in the matter.

“By letter dated May 31, 2023 the office of the Solicitor General responded to the letter from Messrs Muleza Mwiimbu and Company and confirmed that the government of the Republic of Zambia had paid the sum of K2, 300,000.00 being K2, 000,000.00 as damages for false imprisonment for the plaintiff and K300, 000.00 as party to costs to the account of Messrs HBM advocates (the defendant) held at Stanbic bank,” he said.
