An MMD parliamentarian accused of being an Angolan refugee yesterday appeared in court in Kaoma, police spokesperson Ndandula Siamana confirmed.
Siamana yesterday confirmed the arrest of MMD Mangango member of parliament Robert Taundi Chiseke over allegations that he was a foreigner.
During a meeting with the head of the Anglican Church Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, at State House in Lusaka on Tuesday, President Michael Sata said it was unfortunate that some people in Western Province voted for a refugee as a member of parliament.
President Sata said this in response to Archbishop Williams' question on Zambia's position on refugees' welfare.
