UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has warned that he will personally picket the office of the Chief Justice if Lombe Chibesakunda does not resign her position within 15 days.
Mr Hichilema told a media briefing in Lusaka that Justice Chibesakunda does not qualify to hold the position of Acting Chief Justice.
He said the UPND will hold demonstrations at the Supreme Court to force Justice Chibesakunda to resign.
Mr Hichilema accused Justice Chibesakunda of allegedly failing to run the affairs of the judiciary.
He said the Acting Chief Justice has been harassing judiciary workers who are perceived to be sympathisers of the opposition.
Mr Hichilema said a number of workers in the judiciary viewed to be anti PF have been transferred to other stations.
He said Justice Chibesakunda should step down because even the parliamentary select committee refused to approve her name because she does not qualify.
thats the way to go my president….2016 pakwanja!!!!!!!!!
HH has no political clout to succeed at whatever demands he has ever made against anyone.
Can anyone tell me what political successes HH has scored if any?…. Zero, Nil, nothing
The sooner upnd realizes that HH is not suitable to head their party the better for them. He lacks progressive initiative, agenda and capacity to spur upnd into a formidable party. However, the entire upnd is impotent as the entire party is in HH’s pocket, so they just wag their tails at him
iwe chimbwi HH is not presidential material.You guys must realise before it is too late that you have a wrong person for the UPND presidency!!HH will never be president of Zambia because he is childish.These one man demos only goes to show that HH has no plans as a politician.He is a novice.The time for chachacha is long gone.Politicians must find other avenues to air their disappoitmnets instead of paading themselves in the streets like prostitutes!!HH is truly a Hungry Heyna!!
I cant waste my vote on This Neandertal bastard who still thinks that he is living in a cave
elo ukachita inshi after that 15 day ultimatum? one man demo or Egyptian way?
Egyptian way has revamped you from a deep slumber,don’t try that at home under 5!
Lol
Kekekeke.. in Egypt they give 48 hours ultimatum, and its not people like HH, its peopleike Miyanda and Shikapwasha.
We are joining you in the next 15 days. If she thinks she is clever , that will be the end of this OLD Mother.
Aba nabo awe mwandi nimpepo kwena.
“judicial workers sympathisers of opposition” who are those judges or clerks and how does she know them? do they were party badges for work ? but knowing this loser he is just trying to steal nevers thunder
#BA Lusaka times, you better be profession in the way you carry out your reporting…this is sub-standard reporting mwee!!!
yaba ba mailoni nabena awe suree
What is this son of a bitch going to do after 15 days useless bitter ***** ati ka president
Justice Lombe Chibesakunda has enormous legal experience running into many years in our country. If anything, we need such Lawyers to make time, have time to even teach in our local Universities in Zambia what Law entails to our young children.
Asking her and/or forcing her to quit just because these so-called -5s have spoken does not and won’t work. These *****s in opposition think what’s happening in Egypt should happen in Zambia. Do you (bloggers) really think this is necessary? If we voted wrong pipo into office the last general elections, too bad for us. The best we can do under the circumstances is to wait till 2016, that’s the most logical thing to do that bring war onto ourselves and just because its happening in Egypt. Their problems there are different from ours,…
She does meet the requirements on age …. Da!. Read about her don’t be so clouded by your tribalism.
Fioew!!!!!!
He probably thinks his one-man stint at the Freedom Statue had a lot of impact. Next he will use the ‘Namugala formula’ and threaten to strip. The lady is currently acting in that position and has not yet even been confirmed and you want to cause problems. Can HH please disclose the names of the UPND sympathisers that are being victimised otherwise we will regard this as hearsay and further evidence that his poor strategy has completely failed and he has runout of positive contributions to Zambia’s democracy.
First of all I must say ultimatums are only real in Egypt as we we have just seen but in Zambia they are meaningless.
Quite frankly the people calling upon the acting chief justice to step down have a point. The old lady looks unwell, disinterested and disoriented and she was only appointed to that sensitive and top office simply because she is bemba, nothing else.
Dream on Tonga bull! Haven’t you learnt that you are on your on with these demo crusades? last time you tried it not even those in your inner circle joined the circus. Can you explain how my aunt Lombe does not qualify instead of parroting the same line that even LAZ is using without elaborating for the masses? If you want the masses to sympathise with your cause please explain! Then tell us why your company Zambeef is embalming the nation!
Viva Egypt. You have set the pace and the bye-election mongers will cry soon.
15 days or else Egypt.
That Egypt crap can`t happen in the south of the equator otherwise Museveni and Mugabe could have had been history by now.Tuli ba mwenso ifwe.
egypt crap can happen south on the equator… its a matter of time!!! people still have some food in their stomachs,,, the day the get hungry you will see
How are you goping to do a ‘Egypt’? Incite the masses and let them slaughter each other while you hide in the diaspora?
This ugly bitch must go. Egypt must happen in Zambia
HH is a “MOUTH FOR HIRE”!
Ba HH – why do you always think of your own glory? You have a point about Lombe, but should you really picket alone? Is this evidence that you are not capable of mobilising the masses to support your ideas? Yaba!
This threat – giving 15 days ultimatum – does not amount to anything – it is just noise you are making. Work with others to develop Zambia. Mobilise civil society, the church, students etc. Have meetings and plan something substantial then issue a warning knowing you have support around you. What is wrong with your political strategies kanshi? I am beginning to feel sorry for you HH.
Okey thats it let it be so
HH WE WILL JOIN YOU, THAT IS THE WAY TO GO INDEED!
How are going to do it? By remote while you hide in the diaspora?
I wish to express my disappointment once again with you Mr. HH my President. Much as I support you, I don’t support politics of afterthoughts. Why can’t we come up with a strategy of our own not taking advantage of whatever comes up. This issue is completely not your conceived idea. You do not even have grounds for the demonstration. This kind of politics will only disadvantage out PARTY. Please engage us to come up with strategies. I will support you for 2016 anyway but consider
Hihihihihihi! 15 day ultimatum! laughable! Just what makes Mrs. Lombe Chibesakunda unqualified to be Chief justice?
ati 15 days altimatum…but mula yumfwa ba H.H kwati pali efyo mwingachita,just go and take care of your wife
As much as I would like to listen to hungry Hyena as much as I dislike his attitude. Hon chibesakunda is an outstanding Supreme Court judge. The Hon judge has sat on the Queen’s bench. 15days if Hungry Hyena was the appointing authority be it barking like a mad hyena will not move any stone. She will continue doing what she is good at. Court decisions or rulings are not individual are collective. Secondly 2011 general elections were marred with corruption.
Haaaaaaaaakainde Hiiiiiiiichilema. You make me laugh mwana. I cant wait for your picketing bwana. Only your fellow tongas will follow you to picket. Please people appoint haaahiii as CJ.
Since all Kolwestans have no regard for the Constitution!!
HH keep on criticizing with what is wrong I do not want a one party state which is uncritisized. Go HH
Now that they have succesfully blocked the Watchdog, the Pa Fwaka tribalists have all congregated on this site praising their best-ever products . . .Ukwa, Lombeni, Chikwanka and other useless Kolwestans. HH is right and you know it but you choose to look elsewhere just because this illegality involves your fellow Kolwestan. *****s.
HH and friends,Sata is the only president wait for your time to appoint your own.Who are you to start giving ultimatums to offices His Excellence has put in place? Kutumpa sana ubuwelewele.
Ubu bu shilu!
Hakainde mwaiche, you have no right to do that to someone in that office. Why are you behaving like a cadre?
HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH HH 2016 2016 2016 2016 2016 2016 2016 2016 do you copy???
Awe shuwa, I can’t believe there are people who are still supporting PF and it’s leadership after all the miss ups and problems it is creating for mother Zambia. Sata is not presidential material you foools, he is just simply a mere African style politician of the caliber of William Banda.
Chinena chakwa noko kapoli iwe. Dont u know that this ugly kapoli(hh) has no national support. Come 2016 tukamunyankula so that you go bak to your caves
Try to explain how u could ve dealed with the issue. We know that u have yo own way of doing things and u can’t behave like thEse others. By the way, why is it that our president can’t hear pipo’s cry there & then. HH AL EYES RE ON U, EVEN THZ WHO HAT U.
I can’t believe that there are people who are too dull to support these pathetic fools !!!!! What a shame !!!
At this moment, we will support ANYBODY BUT the shameful PF government!!! ANYTHING PLEASE !!!!
This is what happens when a peeson has nothing to do. My friend HH you have decided to loaf about with all your money. Badala ba HH babora mu 15 days ba sir. Badayaka ngombe tiyee badyaka ngombe tiyee! please Madam IG bring back that young lady from livingstone whats her name again? Katanga. We need some action in lusaka.
Just go and herd your cattle, HH, politics is definitely not your forte.
i stopped commenting on LT because this site is infested by PF thugs. useless individuals who have no academic credentials. pure thugs misusing the benefits of social media. will just concentrate on my Phd.
bye thugs. thanks
but ka HH, no mutwe kwati nitwenokane ya mbushi. When ll this scumbag ever say something sensible.
Indeed the kolwestan clan is cursed. Cannot see sense in anything worthy. How are u going to continue attacking HH and not the issue at hand. Just swallow ur pride. He might not be a presidential material but stands for the better. He has a business being affect end with policies being implemented. Be responsible in ur thinking and debates.
Mr HH must focus on mobilizing voters to get him to plot 1. His antics and one man shows only goes to prove that he is a political under 5. If the PF is as evil as the Z Watch Dog paints then it’s easy to get rid of them at the polls. But it looks like he will wait for election time and then apply the same unworkable formulas of campaigning flat out in his strong holds and hoping to win. If he could only take a leaf from Sata’s page of campaign strategy, he wouldn’t be wasting his life in frivolous politicking, he would have been penetrating all parts of Zambia and winning voters hearts.
Justice Lombe is not a problem. HH thinking, I think is shallow, childish and want to remove Justice Lombe by POWER- P. There are best avenues to remove Justice Lombe from acting chief justice. In the first place HH is supposed to have demanded the president, the appointing authority to remove Justice Lombe. Why address to an employee instead of the employer? Other options MPs and LAZ can help in removing justice Lombe. HH knows that our current constitution is very weak, has deficiencies and has given too much power to the president. HH, Nevers & Father Bwalya are suppose to input good suggestions to address deficiencies and reduce the powers of the president in the new constitution to be, but are busy with petty issues with a view of be coming a president at any cost.
its sad that politics has gone to the dogs
The Chibesakunda family has gone on rampage to abuse the Zambian constitution with Presidential blessings. The family is grabbing Govt positions, tempting to grab Bemba royal positions despite being of Bisa descent. Besides, we are pleading with the media do us a favour by publishing a close-up photo of Lombe Chibesakunda’s son, Chita Chibesakunda, so that we can assess as to whose genes this “fatherless” child inherited.
