A Lawyer has called on the Law Association of Zambia to suspend Constitutional lawyer John Sangwa for allegedly pouring scorn on the Constitutional court judges.
Mr. Tutwa Ngulube said that the association should send a strong message on the need for lawyers and all affected parties to respect decisions of the Judges.
Mr. Ngulube’s comments come in the wake of the Judiciary’s decision to bar Mr. Sangwa from appearing before any court while his matter is being considered by the Law Association of Zambia.
He has also proposed that the government should consider stripping Mr. Sangwa of the status of State Counsel.
Mr. Ngulube’s comment follows LAZ’s decision to condemn the stance that Mr. Sangwa has taken after losing a case where he had questioned President Lungu’s eligibility for 2021.
Last week the Judiciary banned Mr. Sangwa from appearing before any court in Zambia pending determination of his case by LAZ.
Meanwhile, PF Deputy Media Director Antonio Mwanza has welcomed the decision by LAZ to condemn the utterances of Mr. Sangwa against Constitutional Court Judges.
Mr. Mwanza said that LAZ should not allow any of its members to ridicule Judges for cheap political mileage, saying that the decision of the Constitutional Court is final and is now part of the Zambian law.
The PF Leadership in North-Western Province has welcomed the decision by the Judiciary to ban Lusaka Lawyer John Sangwa from appearing before any court in Zambia.
And Provincial Chairperson Jackson Kungo said Mr. Sangwa should not be allowed to appear before the people that he is allegedly disrespecting in public.
Mr. Kungo said that it was surprising that when the Constitutional Court ruled that Ministers who remained in the office should pay back the salaries they obtained, Mr. Sangwa and his friends did not call the Judges names, and that Mr. Sangwa is a bad loser who does not want to accept that he lost a case in which the Constitutional Court ruled that President Edgar Lungu is eligible to stand in 2021.
Mr. Kungo further said that it is sad that some people who are scared of President Lungu have resorted to all sorts of tactics to distract the PF from focusing on important national issues.
And New Congress Party President Peter Chanda has commended the Judiciary for banning Lusaka Lawyer John Sangwa from appearing in court in Zambia.
Pastor Chanda said that the move is commendable because the country’s institutions must be respected and that Mr. Sangwa cannot continue disregarding the court Judgement to the extent of attacking individual judges.
Not to worry a time will come for him to strip you of everything too. But he looks like a man who wouldn’t sink so low. surely he will follow the laws in his time. Don’t kill him ba kbwalala imwe
This porker has no thread of integrity in him, Sangwa is a man of integrity and sober character.
Right now Zambia needs more Sangwa’s, Sishuwa’s and less of the likes of this grovelling poker who earns a living by spewing threats.
How do you suspend someone who is enjoying immunity to appear in any court in Zambia. Check again what you have said and see if it makes sense.
Disaster!!!!
Tutwa Ngulube knows wht to do. He’s not the complaint in this matter ; it’s the Judiciary. He cannot join the Judiciary because he’s not a judicial officer. Is he suggesting that the Judiciary needs his help because they’re not competent to handle it themselves?
It is you and lungu that should be expelled by LAZ for gross misrepresentation of the Law.
Do not suspend him, as that will.give him a false sense of importance. Let him continue bubbling away as soon he will fizzle away in obscurity. We have seen this happen a lot when small insignificant men are bought off with promises that will never materialise. Kz
@KZ, the that. Confirming yet again how these pweres give jobs to each other. Sing a few praises and viola!
“Registrar of the high court cannot suspend a lawyer from the court” so says this ignorant panelist on Prime TV. Zambians please get your facts right, do not just listen to any Jim and Jack wanting to sound clever on TV. Zambia has become a true comedy of errors. Shame.
KZ mean while u r peeing in ur pants becoz u r feeling the pressure from John Sangwa are the constitutional court judges qualified according to the constitution if they are nothing to worry about but if not hw were they appointed am sure all this is easy to prove one asks did u finish grade 12 hw do u prove u give them ur certificate na kani yasila .
Zambians currently need 10 x times more individuals with Sangwa’s calibre for Zambia to move forward.
please don’t blindly and selfishly continue supporting the sinking Titanic.
God bless Zambia.
Now the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle have fallen into their places. I always wondeed what was the motive of those small “opposition” parties to petition the Concourt to rule on the eligibility clause, 3 years before the elections were due, and not the affected party himself? So small are the parties that they can hardly afford a lawyer, let alone a good lawyer, to argue their case. What was their grief? Nothing!!! And soon after the “judgement” we see an emboldened PF confirming their sole candidate from the provincial structures, was it an accident,? No!!
Looks like it was a well rehearsed plot, but it has backfired so unexpectedly badly that now the very Concourt judges are the first casualties. Next is the pressure on the candidate himself, the serious concerns that the debate has…
….Looks like it was a well rehearsed plot, but it has backfired so unexpectedly badly that now the very Concourt judges are the first casualties. Next is the pressure on the candidate himself, the serious concerns that the debate has raised within the PF structures about the very high possibility of having their candidate disqualified after nominations close. The guys are not all fools despite what they stated in public, come June 2020 party convention, they will all come to their senses, what with the handling of the economy, gassing, etc by their leaders.
ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH TRACES OF INTEGRITY, WORSE IF THEY POSSESS INTEGRITY, ARE VIEWED AS ENEMIES OF PF WHETHER WITHIN PF OR OUTSIDE THE PF. WHAT THE PF HATES IS INTEGRITY! SURELY A VERBAL ACCUSATION CAN BE COUNTERED BY A VERBAL DEFENSE, NOT STRIPPING THE OF PERSON THIS OR THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ABUSE YOUR POWER TO PUNISH HIM. RULING PARTY LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE TOLERANT AND GENTLE WHEN HANDLING OPPOSING VIEWS. NO PARTY HAS EVER STAYED FOREVER IN POWER. UNIP WAS THE ONLY POLITICAL PARTY IN ZAMBIA BUT A WAY OF REMOVING IT WAS FOUND, WHERE IS IT TODAY? IF STATE COUNSEL SANGWA HAS OFFENDED PF, THE PF SHOULD DEAL WITH HIM IN AMICABLY. IT IS THIS LAWLESS WAY OF DEALING WITH MATTERS THAT SCARES AWAY POTENTIAL INVESTORS. IF WE CAN DEAL WITH OUR OWN IN THIS WAY, WHAT ABOUT A…
Dear Heavenly Father please give us the grace to experience in our life time the day PF is voted out of government. Please LORD do not deny our request as a large majority of your people in Zambia are being strangled to a slow death by the arrogance and pure evil cruelty of those presiding over the affairs of the concept called Zambia.
This is how hungry bootlickers think, when someone is being critical to them instead of engaging them, they think of ways to muzzle them. They think this every where is PF secretarial. This the chap who was arrested back in 2018 for trespass, he started being vocal so Lungu gave him a position at Parliament now he is dancing to his tune>
Ba tutwa kalaleni
Tutwa means Girafe in Lozi, so I cant be suprised
“..Mr. Tutwa Ngulube said that the association should send a strong message on the need for lawyers and all affected parties to respect decisions of the Judges…..”
What about the judges decision about MPs paying back illegal salaries campaigning for lungu ???
Was that respected ?
One of the lawyers stole money from a widow and was stripped his practicing licence. Some lawyers are a disgrace to this noble profession.
This has caused uncalled insecurity, indecision and unpredictable in the nation that has its own ramifications to the outlook of Zambia from the international community. Let the judicial system, Con court, LAZ and individual eminent lawyers in the nation, man up and give direction to the nation.
Kaponya Lawyer Tute Pig!
Just go and sleep!
By the way, why did you chicken out on the Public Debate on the Rule of Law? Aren’t the guilty always afraid?
Tutwa. #Ubupuba.
Pigs are only fit for the bushes once you allow a pig to live among humans, you get all the stinking vomits and faeces everywhere.
This Ngulube has SWINE fever
KUNGO YOU DO NOT REASON WELL. JOHN SANGWA TOLD THE MINISTERS TO PAY BACK THE MONEY AND IF THEY HAVE DONE SO THEN CAN YOU CRITICISE SC. JOHN SANGWA. PF MINISTERS HAVE NOT PAID BACK THE MONEY AND THEY ARE WAITING TO BE ARRESTED NEXT YEAR AFTER PF IS GONE. THIS IS A BIG CASE AND NO ONE AND NOT EVEN YOU WILL STAND BEFORE THEM BECAUSE BY REFUSING TO PAY BACK THAT MONEY MEANS THEFT OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS.
TUKANYITALA MAFUKU ANAKUHITA. BAYI KWIKALA WADIMONA KUBABALAKU DIMWEKESHI KUHULAMA LELU HAKWILA KUMADIKI WAKEKALI WABULIKA MULON’A.
SOBA NYANGA NI CHIMBALA CHANFWITI
As for tutwa, by far to be compared to SC. John Sangwa. Even the bible says that no student is greater than his teacher.
Today keep on bwatabwata, your days are drawing closer every day. When the proper lawyers are placed in place you shall cry like a boy with a loud voice ati l did not know what l was doing.
What do you expect from someone who is a thief. Levy was a man who respected the law was a man who all heartedly news and trusted by all Zambians.
Just how did we end up with such leaders? I supported Sata, i didn’t know we would end up with this. Any, Sata said he had useless ministers
Tutwa and Makebi Zulu’s stinking toilet sewage political acrobatics are repulsive indeed! Besides corrosive tribally bigoted politics of ‘umodzi kumawa’, I cannot think of any viral masalamusi that can dement minds like this, not even ‘chiwewe cha Coronavirus’ chinga funtise bantu so.
