A twenty member commission of inquiry on the Legal and Justice Sector Reform Programme has been sworn-in at ceremony held in Lusaka this morning.

The Commission is being chaired by Justice Frederick Chomba with Solicitor General Musa Mwenye being the vice chairperson and Mrs. Maria Kawimbe as the secretary.

Members of the commission include Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Mutembo Nchito, Transparency International Zambia (TIZ) President Lee Habasonda, Enoch Mulembe, Emily Sikazwe, Stephen Mumbi, Mike Pwete, Geoffrey Sakulanda, Patrick Chisanga, and Annette Chirumba.

Others are Florence Chibwesha, Anderson Ngulube, Ernest Ibeele, Doris Nayame, Collins Lundah, Kangwa Chisanga, Ireen Chongo, and Frederick Chilukutu.

And speaking shortly after she sworn-in the commission, Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda expressed confidence that members of commission will work tirelessly to scrutinize the country’s Judicial and legal systems by finding out whether the systems have responded to Zambia’s political, economical and social needs.

Justice Chibesakunda said if the country’s Judicial and Legal systems have not responded to Zambia’s needs, the commission should bring out the change for efficient and effective administration of Justice.

She stated that this is especially that 50 years of independence the country still has a replica of English law structure when its history and culture is different from that of England.

    • looking little worm kabimba`s lips they look kumbuwa (white),,, surely thats is not a sign of hunger,, ´but maybe even his own lips are protesting hence kumbuwa because of lies and arrogance coming out of that month

    • Uko, the law review commission put in place to enact laws to ban all political parties in Zambia in the making.

      They want to change the system of government and bring back the Chinese system.

      PF mwanya, we shall not allow this to happen. If PF survives up to 2016 they will be very lucky.

    • @Joseph & Ndobo,
      It is the CONSTITUTION which is being reviewed, I mean its another commission like the Mungomba or Mwanakatwe commission. There is no other way to scrutinize a legal system than scrutinizing the system they follow, which is the constitution. So what Enerst Mwansa and team reviewed is useless, only what Kabimba can review is what is valid to Sata.
      God is watching, there will be a funeral….

  1. After they do a work,including retirement of the acting CJ,then you reject the recommendation?????We are watching all the plundering you doing.

  2. This country has lost direction! No wonder the Kwacha has been messed up! Cry beloved country……Who is going to save us?

  3. This nation is been taken to the dogs by the worst government in the history of mankind! This is just daylight robbery and theft because we no that the ugly fool at plot one will reject the findings of the commission and threaten to arrest anyone who protests. May God avenge His people and scatter the evil plans of these mercenaries!

  4. What a good picture! All the CROOKS AND CRIMINALS in one shot!

    Their day in court as defendants is coming….. SOON!

  5. Imwe ba UPEND, the strategy you are using is cow like. Go and make a human one then you might have a glimmer of hope of winning elections in 2036.

  6. No wonder Kabimba always wears sunglasses! Another fcuked up Commission, why doesn’t Ukwa appoint one to look into and make recommendations to arrest the road carnage that has rocked the country? We know this commission only serves the interest of the PF imwe ba pumbafu.
