In an unprecedented move, Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba will be probed by members of the public over allegations that he abused his office and breached the oath of secrecy.

Justice Evans Hamaundu will chair the tribunal whose members include Justice Gertrude Chawatama, Justice Justine Chashi.

Former Solwezi MP Lucky Mulusa and human rights activist Brebner Changala petitioned Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda to constitute a tribunal to probe Mr Kabimba.

The petitioners contend that Mr Kabimba abused his office by using government information from the Solicitor General’s Office to prop up the Patriotic Front in the court cases involving parliamentary seats which had been petitioned.

Justice Chibesakunda in a letter to Chief Administrator of the Judiciary said she had no objections to the setting of the tribunal to probe the Justice Minister.

The petitioners have indicated that they will call eleven witnesses.

  1. Now the tribunal on Wynter Kabimba, what happened on sylvia Masebo, will you not set up a tribunal on her? Who blocked the tribunal against Sylvia Masebo? If the tribunal on Sylvia was never set up to probe her, do you think this tribunal will… is it not set up just because of pressure and seeing that there has been too much pressure on kabimba including not wanted him in PF? I can tell you I ve my own out come of this tribunal hahaha one newspaper in charge to protect the friend.

  2. This is not going anywhere believe me. Its meant to blind fold Zambians. The fight against corruption in Pf govt is extremely selective. If the tribunal has been set let the minister of justice step aside as the constitution demands. WK is untouchable

  3. What’s the point when the outcome is already predetermined. Please Chibesakunda, stop wasting taxpayers money on this to finance your lavish lifestyles

  4. Even the most blind person can see that this tribunal is going nowhere. Why? The answer is simple;because it is not possible to probe the minister of justice when he is still in office.So to make it sound reasonable, Hon Kabimba must step aside to pave way for investigation and come back after he is cleared,otherwise this will be just another circus story some of us will not enjoy following.

  5. If only you know Mr Sata. He failed to get confront trouble makers in PF so this is the best chance. Mwamba is out of the way, Kabimba is next. He is doing this not to offend the cartel. His approach to the squables is LET THE SITUATION HANDLE ITSELF.

  6. The mockumentary continues of this deceptive government. Sata is not yet dead for Winter Kabimba to be investigated since its on record that probing Sata’s ministers is a taboo. Calls for Kabimba to be investigated in the past has been rubbished. Sata is very much alive its all ‘Donchi Kubeba’, its BUFI as usual.

  7. Sugar coated tribunal, who are you kidding imwe ba grade 2 ba PF? ask the imbecile to resign before starting your stupid tribunal which will give us nothing apart from ripping our tax money. Is it not on record when Ukwa said you should not brobe his Ministers for corruption? The acting chief justice has small brains just like Ukwa himself.

  8. Even the blind can see that mudala Sata Aitaya. It’s like an old Headmaster walking down to the dorms to fight a grade 8 Kwiyo. Our real enemies are Agarwal (KCM) & Glasenberg (Glencore & Mopani) NOT Chitimukulu, GBM, Nevers, HH, Richard Sakala etc.
