PF Deputy Chairman for Mobilisation Geoffrey Mwamba has challenged the Law Association of Zambia to state its position on lawyers that are pouring scorn on constitutional court Judges.
Mr. Mwamba says it will be difficult for LAZ to condemn politicians when they attack the judiciary .
He said it is important that the Association comes out clean on the matter .
Mr Mwamba says LAZ cannot allow a situation where Lawyers starts pouring scorn on the Judges every time they lose a case .
He told ZNBC that he expects LAZ to state its position if it agrees with the route that Lusaka lawyer John Sangwa has taken.
Mr. Mwamba told ZNBC that LAZ is a respected body which should not to be used for cheap politics by a few selfish lawyers .
He has also urged those who are scared of President Edgar Lungu to go and campaign rather insist that he is not eligible to stand .
He said the PF is already on the ground engaging the people ahead of 2021.
And When reached for a comment the Law Association of Zambia said it will soon issue a statement on the matter .
LAZ President Eddie Mwitwa said the Association expects lawyers to behave in a certain manner even when they do not agree with the court’s judgement .
Dull people like you with no initiative should not be given midea platform to show your folly in so doing you simply decampaign your party.
Dobadoba politicians like form 4 GBM busy hallucinating without mentioning where they have gone wrong lawyers.where are you compaigning Mr no direction.HH my vote you will be given
We all know that all those Constitutional Court judges did not actually meet the academic and experience stipulations of that bench but Chagwa selected them to stooge for him. Their judgement on Lungu’s qualification to stand again was laughable in light of the constitution. Only fools can make such a decision and to expect Zambians to accept such a stupid ruling is damnright offensive. All this scorn people are pouring on those so called judges is very well deserved. My only hope and prayer is that it does not end there, the next president must arrest them all for treasonous stupidity and put them before a firing squad! If Mwamba thinks they ought to be protected, that’s his on foolishness, we know njala yachinyokola chi fat obese Albert!
Why is it that its dull chaps like Bowman, Tayali, GBM and former Katondo St currency dealer are the only ones defending Lazy Lungu the lawyer…even retired respected constitutional lawyers like Roger Chongwe are bemused.
Kikikikiki…..atiba Dr gbm….! Kuti waseka. Has this man “acquired” his G12 certificate yet?
Where was GBM when the same constitutional judges were threatened should they take the Kenyan Courts route in delivering judgement on a case that was before them?
If you think John Sangwa is not truthful about the background of those Judges ..the best you can do, is to printout the 15 year profile of each concourt Judge.
Justice Annel Silungwe quit his job after he presided over the acquittal of Kambarage Kaunda for killing Tabeth Mwanza without disclosing that he is related to Betty Kaunda by marriage. Justice Matthews Ngulube was caught red handed foraging for hog swill in Chiluba’s stinking pocket! Now, these so called Justices of the Constitutional Court must be very careful, if those two top judges could be removed so unceremoniously, who are these Chagwa appointed judges before the Zambian people?
The size of GBM’s nose is gianomous, if he was a baboon he would be a Proboscis Monkeys! And for a dull grade 2 chap like his to accuse Sangwa of not reasoning is trully laughable. The main thing Zambians must do during the next polls is not to elect fools again. I mean, look at Lusambo, Tutwa Ngulube, Makebi Zulu, Nkandu Luonyo etc, all these are dead brains.
GBM is fvcking PF foools again. Every one knows that LAZ is preserving integrity of its members who work for PF’s ConCourt. If LAZ goes after the judiciary, it’s the same us public embarrassment of its members.
So imwe Ba GBM minimuse kissing PF’s stinking armpits.
I really struggle to believe that GBM made his money through brilliance. Luck must have been on his side because people with such a low reasoning capacity are not supposed to make it in business. Perharps that is why his businesses a failing and political has become a means of survival to him. He never fails to disappoint me.
There is something called a personal opinion. Sangwa was not representing LAZ in any way when he made those observations. Even a layman can give an opinion on anything whether right or wrong.
YA,YA,YA,YAAAH… PAIPA PANO!!
Even a bonafide Grade 5 in the old Zambian education system G.B.M, has joined ranks with fellow ill educated call boys (ng’wangwazi’s) like D@vies Mw!l@, k4 T.@yal!, Coffindozer Cheesem@n Lusamb0, & other leeches in arguing with leaned academics like Dr Rodger Chongwe, Mr Sangwa, & Elias Chipimo. Kaya??
Dr Rodger Chongwe has more integrity & intelligence in his little finger, than the combined intellectual capabilities of b00tlickers Mr Mw!la, ba G -Mwalya Bw@mba, Ch!losha the violent Cheese addict & professional scrounger k4 T.@yal!
I NOW REALISE IT WAS A BLESSING U.P.N.D, DIDN’T FORM GOVERNMENT, AS I SHUDDER TO IMAGINE ZAMBIA HAVING A VICE PRESIDENT IN THE MOULD OF P.F, CADRE WIFE BEATER GREAT BAG OF MAFUTA!!
Lastly, P.F,KUYABEBELE!
It is also important that the courts explain why they cannot enforce the judgement in which ministers and Jonathan were ordered to pay back money they accrued for willfully and intentionally overstaying in government .The PF cannot have their bread buttered on both sides by the con court .We have seen the supreme court dragging Mambo to court and jailing him for commenting against the courts judgement .Lubinda did the same and has never been jailed .Is what we call justice or selective justice
John Sangwa should concentrate on his failing marriage for now. As a legal practitioner, he should know that his behavior towards the Concourt Bench after losing a case is so unprofessional.
A Constitution should not be discriminatory. The simple interpretation of the Zambian Constitution on Presidential electability is: a Zambian President can serve less than 5 years, up to 10 years, or up to 13 years depending on circumstances – the main circumstance affecting 5 and 10 years (for one or two terms) being completing an unfinished term. RB for example would have only done a maximum of 8 years. ECL on the other hand has an opportunity to do more than 10 years. Forget about being “elected twice” – it does not apply to ECL because of the definition of a term of Office. Sangwa and others are just being malicious for political expediency.
Upnd sympathizers make me wonder what type of human beings they are. You claim to be popular and on right track to state house. Actually even the economic situation in Zambia looks favorable towards your agenda as Upnd. Paradoxically, you are supporting those who are antagonizing the courts. Why not support the candidature of Lungu so that you teach him a lesson. Is it the fear that he dribble you. Are you scared of Lungu despite your claimed popularity? I am watching, someone will run to the same unqualified concourt judges. Watch this space.
The 12 and a half years now being referred to as 13 years can only apply under two circumstances 1. That as a result of a vacancy the running mate (also known as Vice President) serves the “remainder” of the period for less than three years which is not a term or, 2. If that person is “elected” in the absence of the running mate/president. Such persons can run for 12 years 11 months in office assuming they succeed at two further elections. ECL did not fall into 1,2. Is he eligible the jury is out. But the law is clear
This is the fall of LAZ. This means that this institution as bad elements from the time of inception and it as been engulfed with corruption so the President of this association must be very careful with the so learned or they will hoist him.
CHIKOPO SANA MUDALA OYU. IT IS VERY CLEAR IN PLAIN BLACK AND WHITE THAT THE PERSON WHO HOLDS OFFICE 2 TIMES DOESN’T QUALIFY. ZAMBIANS LET US FORGIVE SUCH KIND OF *****S LIKE GBM.EVEN,KBF AND OTHER LAWYERS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT ECL DOESN’T QUalify. ARE,WE LACKING PEOPLE TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY AND IT IS ONLY EDGAR? WE HAVE ALOT EVEN ME WHERE IAM I CAN BE.
Some PF members are either dull or chose to act like. How do you apply the current constitution to issues prior to 2016 when the new constitution was not existent? Our current constitution started in 2016 going forward. If you did illegal things prior to 2016, what applies is the law at that time. Our president served his first term in the old constitution and another in the current constitution. Simply put, the president does not qualify to stand. If i were the one involved, i would start preparing the person that will take over. PF under our Excellency ECL has no chance unless they put another leader like KBF who has an agenda for the nation. The rest are there to protect their positions. Ba KZ please advise our humble president on this one. FTJ was very clever because he was mute in…
@ adviser
What about your many fathers? Concentrate on them instead on SC Sangwa marriage
I think Timbwi your dimension of lungu having been President before 2016 thus not eligible under 2016 constitution makes sense than what all are arguments of lungu not been eligble by the so called lawyer s
But on second thought he qualifies becase 2016 constitution came into force while lungu was still president, thus Being affected by the 2016 constitution, that is why he did not even qualify for gratuity having served less than 3 years
