The United Party for National Development (UPND) in Lusaka province has demanded for the immediate resignation of the Director for Public Prosecutions (DPP), Lillian Siyuni, on moral grounds.
UPND Lusaka Province Chairperson, Obvious Mwaliteta, has accused the DPP of being a hindrance to the new dawn administration’s fight against corruption.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka today, Mr. Mwaliteta vowed that the party will use the very constitution that protects the DPP’s stay in office to remove her.
“So many UPND members are still in prison from the time of PF rule, no nolle has been entered. We have known this nolle prosequi today only on one side. The PF plunderers are the only ones enjoying this nolle prosequi. So this same Mrs. Nolle Prosequi Siyuni should resign,” Mr Mwaliteta said.
Mr. Mwaliteta further vowed that the party will do whatever it takes to ensure that the DPP leaves the constitutional office if she does not resign.
“We are not going to allow you madam to hold this country to ransom and do what you think you can do because you are protected by the constitution. The same constitution will allow us to proceed. We will start with Article 143 as read together with Article 144 and 183 of the constitution of Zambia to remove you from that office,” he said.
And Mr. Mwaliteta disclosed that the party will soon recommend names of civil servants who are allegedly loyal to the former ruling party, the Patriotic Front (PF), for dismissal.
He said if government does not act on the issue, UPND will take matters into its own hands.
“We are going to help them to move out of the office,” Mr. Mwaliteta said.
The DPP recently entered a nolle prosequi in a matter in which Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) former provisional liquidator, Milingo Lungu, was charged with theft and money laundering involving K4.4 million.
Madam nolle prosequi!!!
This is why it’s important to have political representatives have at least a Form 5 secondary school level education. ?n fact they should make it a minimum of a diploma from an accredited institution. ?f we don’t insist on this we will end up as a banana republic that not only does not respect the rule of Law but also has no capacity to understand it.
How can someone openly undermine the office of the DPP? ?t causes the office to lose public confidence just like the judiciary. The office is not there to make rulings popular with the government of the day. ?n fact it’s the investigative wings that should do a good job of making sure that a case can be prosecuted successfully. ?f you have substandard cases going before Judges you make Judges susceptible to corruption by politicians in their judgments. We are headed in a dangerous backward direction, where rule of law is lip service. Satan hates righteous justice
Mwalileta a very ignorant thug. The only good thing about him is that he produced beautiful daughters for my sons.
Stop that lunacy Mwaliteta. You are just a dunderhead who knows nothing about law. Let law brains talk about it. Stop intimidating professionals ba fika…. imwe.
uko….. someone wrote G12 examinations for Mwaliteta.kkkkikikiki
Sad to have such useless people being leaders in Zambia.
Mwaliteta is a dull, an empty tin….no wonder the high pitched noise from the cheat!
He should be made to re-write Grade 12 exams. Someone impersonated the chap and wrote exams for him.
He should re-sit under proper invigilation . .kiikikiki
Ati shani Barry, can u fix him nicely
He’s not qualified to stand for elections because he didn’t go to school. What a disadvantage.
As far as Liteta is concerned any PF member arrested must be convicted and jailed guilty or not guilty. This is nothing but bitter vengeance.
Mwaliteta alibe G12
Someone wrote exams for him
Barry is corrupt he cant fix him.
Mwaliteta is an empty drum kikiki
We knew that they wanted to fix DPP through that emotion woman Chirwa
Threats and ultimatums won’t always get you what you want. People can become rigid; then what?…
#plant a tree please!
Useless……wasted time even talking abt such characters
Yes mwaliteta…………..
These PF thives need to be put in check……..
HEHH is too soft and politically correct on them…….
THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND WITH THESE SORT OF UTTERANCES
WHO DOES THIS CHAP THING HE IS ??
THERE ARE CHANNELS TO FOLLOW >
GET RID OF HIM BEFORE WE DO
Politicizing law enforcement agencies,the courts and the judicial process is very dangerous.Its Obvious that Mr Obvious is obtuse.
Ba upnd, ati rule of law, kuwayawaya fye!
Since when does a political party demand for the resignation of the DPP, a constitutional office bearer?
The law provides guidance on how a constitutional office bearer can be removed from office.
Ubututu nabo bubi.
We are on a dangerous trajectory as a nation.
this chap is an 1D10T !
LETS NOT WASTE TIME ON HIM
Obvious Mwaliteta is good guy funny chap to spend time with but here he is on thin ice his fresh O’ level certificate will not help… leave it to the legal minds ..talk to Frank Tayali
DPP is steadfast.
DPP ….Grace is with you.
Watoloka imisu wanyanta pamafi……Zambia see what you did to yourself…..and we thought PF was bad…..
Of course the f00Iish retarded LT resident tarino would find something positive to say about his fellow tribal thug. Fuseke
This Mwaliteta chap is as toxic and stoopid as LT’s resident troll Kaizar Zulu.No wonder they both hide behind dark sunglasses.
Nothing has really changed..just colors from green to red…UPND is definately a one term party and it will disintegrate after 2026……my wife is a Lawyer and i drive UBER for a living…..
Shocking that the DPP would write such a letter. Wrong at all levels. If she does not have a conflicting interest in the cases against Milingo Lungu, then she is simply incompetent. Either way, she is unfit to continue as DPP. You don’t need to be a lawyer to determine that…..just kindergarten common sense. I Think she is gone!
If this is the quality of UPND kind of thinking being flagged, as exhibited by Mwaliteta, then God forbid. Zambia is being piloted across a stormy sea of destruction. Zambians will have to think thrice to seek membership in UPND. As for now, prominent legal minds must start building up a neat case against persons involved in torturing former President ECL’s barber for submission to the Hague. It has been said before, that we the Easterners betrayed ECL. History will repeat itself because it will be the Tongas and their ethnic associates who will betray HH.

Last week Hon Chushi Kasanda denied that Government was planning to remove the DPP. There you are, there’s NO SMOKE (CHUSHI) WITHOUT FIRE.
DPP should not succumb to calls to resign. If they don’t want her let them fire her.
Seriously Kaizar Zulu calling someone ignorant!!!!
Kettle meet Pot
