Government says there is need to provide special legal services to the vulnerable people in order to achieve the late President Levy Mwanawasa’s vision of maintaining rule of Law in the country.
Justice Minister George Kunda said most people in the country were failing to receive special legal services due many challenges that the Legal Aid Department under the Ministry of Justice is facing.
Mr. Kunda was Lusaka yesterday when he handed-over nine Ford-ranger vehicles to the department of Legal Services.
He said government in the Firth National Development Programme (FNDP) has devised various mechanism aimed at providing special legal services to the under privileged people in societies.
Mr. Kunda cited the procurement of motor vehicles, rehabilitation of courts and the provision of other necessary allowances to the people manning courts as some of the other means that government has taken to develop the country’s legal framework.
Mr. Kunda has since challenged stakeholders in the country to support the Ministry of Justice with a view to enhancing the provision of special legal services to the vulnerable people in the country.
And Legal Aid Board Chairperson Esau Chulu commended government for the role it has taken in providing special legal services to the most vulnerable people in the country.
Justice Chulu said government through the Ministry of Justice has been instrumental in devising various special mechanisms aimed at maintaining rule and Law in the country.
Justice Chulu has since commended the late President Levy Mwanawasa for coming up with extra remedial measures aimed at addressing lawlessness in the country.

What are you talking about? Where were you when some characters suggested that we shouldn’t have elections? when you told us the contrary??
Now you want to talk. Like I am interested.
mmm! “maintaining rule of law in zambia”. Which one? Zambia is absolutely lawless.
Zambia needs another govt to initiate lawfulness.
Amen!
CRAP
bla bla blah. Yapping your butt away Kunda.
HH WABOOLA November 2008, Zambia FORWARD.
“Vote UPND’s HH for economic independence, a NEW and JUST Zambia. Where the Zambia people will move with their heads high as the PRIDE of this World after 30 or so years of hardships under the leadership of cold-heartless crooks and thieves whose education can hardly be traced.
Vote for educated people like HH and RB as opposed to those without tangible classroom background for EDUCATION showed that educated Americans put men on the Moon.
Blah, blah, blah ,blah is all i here!!!!!!!!!
Work on that conclusively, George, before your time is up and reduce the number of the innocent turned inmates.
when you say “provide special legal services to the vulnerable people” do you mean like those of you in the MMD government who spat in the face of the law with impunity like Shakafuswa?
Awee!!!! Zambia is lawless! corruption is getting worse! ZRA,police.What law is Kunda talking about.
Kunda, the problem is you pay lawyers working for Legal Aid peanuts, so most are forced to quit and work in private practice or in-house lawyers elsewhere. You and every lawyer knows this problem. What are you doing about it ? Don;t beat about the bush – if Legal Aid lawyers were well paid, there would stay and there wouldn’t be a severe shortage of staff ! Now, stop bwataling (ukubwata) and fix the problem !!
Ba kunda lelo elyo mulefwaya ukubomba.Inshiku nashimilinganya,its time for the starving Zeds to benefit things are changing faster than you thought or even had time to prepare.thats how God operates,without warning paa,ngakafuti
The legal department is just one othe most corrupt in the country. This is what has lead to lawlessness.
#13 I AGREE WITH YOU. LAWYERS IN LPMS TERM HAVE BECOME THE MOST CORRUPT AND JUST LOOK AT HOW LONG CASES ARE TAKING IN COURTS OF LAW? ADJOUNEMENTS ARE DEFEATING JUSTICE COZ WE KNOW CROOKS WHO PLUNDERED THE MONEY ARE STILL OFF THE HOOK.
EVEN LPM USED THE LAW TO BUILD THAT HOUSE ON ZAF LAND ANSO HE FORGOT THAT IMILANDU TASHIBOLA. EVEN IN HIS DEATH WE WILL OPEN CASES
ERB has a new spokesperson RB. I wander to what extreme this will get as we drow towards 30th Oct,2008.
Zambian politics!! What a shame.
We zambians are fed up with mmd(movement for mandrax drugs).Let them go,legal to who bcoz?Wealth of the nation is being enjoyed by foreigners & MMD let 30/10/08 come we clean the mess.

If it looks amature like its because it has not been edited.
#6 to u education is passing exams only (that’s the end) no wonder HH will never be presido in this country not in God lifetime. People who inverted a lot of what is making ur life comfortable never saw a classroom.humility is humane.No wonder some UNZA students continue to use the same method used by Chilufya (old unzasu chair)to express their grievances they never learn dispite seeing the inside of classes all the time and times are changing u need better strategies.pass exams then go into bettering people lives using education as a tool n’ not greedy HH.
There is poverty really in Zambia even among “the rich” now Ben Mwila (BY) (ZNBC 13:00hrs)says he will support the MMD barely two weeks since he said he would stand on his party’s ticket.
LT please post another news item which can attract more debate not these empty statements.these pipo talk so much about the poor.imagine after five years of such empty statmts they wil walk away with hefty gratuities wil the poor get even more poor.
No 21 thats tru my bro while the needy are looking for help,the greedy are looking for oppotunities to rob. Wicked men!!!
