The much anticipated appeal hearing on the stay of the tribunal set up to probe three judges, has been adjourned for the second time.

Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda adjourned the matter because one of the Supreme Court judges is indisposed.

Justice Chibesakunda announced the development when the matter came up for hearing today. She says a new date for the hearing will be communicated.

The appeal hearing on the stay of the tribunal is earmarked to be presided, by a full bench of the Supreme Court judges.

These are Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda, Acting Deputy Chief Justice Florence Mumba, judges Marvin Mwanamwambwa and Hilda Chibomba.

Others judges are Gregory Phiri, Muyinda Wanki and Elizabeth Muyovwe.
The Lusaka High Court had earlier stayed the tribunal to probe three judges Philip Musonda, Nigel Mutuna and Charles Kajimanga.

It was on this premise that the state, appealed to the Supreme Court,

  1. Chipoka’s stay in Zambia raises eyebrows-Was Malawi Judge the conduit of Taiwan money to PF? Now It’s SATA’s pay back time!! This Chipoka rape of our tax payers cash,truly sucks!What fair justice and outcome would Zambians expect from this already compromised judge chipoka? Chipoka is swimming in the same corruption that corrupted the very alleged Judges he’s been called to investigate.Poverty of a Judge-Chipoka who’s without any grain of integrity has already compromised this TRIBUNAL outcome! We already know the outcome of Chipoka’s report-public perception is greater& better than self righteousness. chipoka and PF are deepening wounds of abuse&corruption. Justice ,a cherished Ideal is slowly turning into an abussed commodity. Everything we fought for at independence is at stake!

    • Chipoka must leave immediately!. obtaining money for services not delivered ,it’s corruption! He is in top hotels obtaining pecuniary advantage. What fair Justice would be delivered when so much money already is in Chipoka’s pocket on top of the 14 billion DBZ cash already swindled by Mmembe- POST&NCHITO?Mafia style,What Co- veil,just pay back! Don’t hide in legal nonsense.In the strictest sense,Legality or Law is not necessarily LAWFUL. E.g (Constitution article 34 Parentage: Chiluba v Lewanika &others-That Article is Legal but yet impotent-It’s UNLAWFUL.So will be Chipoka’s outcome report).What then is the point of wasting money on this disgraced case& Chipoka obtaining cash for undelivered services? Indeed,”Honesty is too expensive a gift,it’s NOT FOR CHEAP PEOPLE!”

    • Mafia thieves hiding in corporate veil ,swindle 14billion for personal hammers and houses,now chipoka busy swindling our tax payers money in day light. what kind of governance is this??? will say this again! Mmembe-POST&NCHITO simply pay back credit its costing the nation big! The universal supreme law of MORAL CONSCIOUS States: “Legality or Law is not necessarily LAWFUL” check Constitution article 34 on Parentage: Chiluba v Lewanika &others-That Article is Legal, yet UNLAWFUL.So Mmembe-Nchito’s corporate veil is unfounded. .What then is the point of wasting our money on this disgraced case& Chipoka. Indeed,”Honesty is too expensive FOR CHEAP PEOPLE!”

  2. Can pipo be serious on this case!!Tell us the date and dispose it off its not necessary.Why shud we keep this Chikopa?Tell him to get back to malawi and we will communicate to him later.Malawi isnt far,its only about 45minutes flight.Later date means either tomorrow or yrs to come.Let us be serious as a country….we have been joking for some time.

  3. don’t worry Chikopa’s stay has been budgeted for..RB left lots of money in the coffers.Insteadof buying more drugs for UTH or putting up road signs especially in danger spots,instead of thinking about how to further develop the country outside the programmes the MMD graciously left behind the PF govt will fund Judge Chikopa.Its in the best interest of the country that DPP Nchito,Fred Mmembe are acquitted of all charges pertaining to the K18billion.Let people like Liato languish in prison over K2billion. Far be it that after supporting PF for 10 yrs Mmembe doesn’t get a cut.

  4. Government of CNPs for CNPs. Surely what ever contract GRZ had with Chikopo could have been renegotiated so as to save tax payers money. It’s not like Malawi is miles away

  5. Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda adjourned the matter because one of the Supreme Court judges is indisposed.Meaning: unwilling, disinclined, loathing. Which judge is this one who is unwilling? Why choose such careers if you do not have the Spine for the job? SHAA!

  6. @Theoretician, take it easy! ‘Indisposed’ in this instance has nothing to do with what you allude to. It means the said judge is unable to perform due to ill health. Muzikopa bwino mu ma dictionary!!!

  7. Lawyers can not let each other down especially that the manouvres are initiated by an illiterate leader, Sata has been taught a lesson.

  8. Maybe they know something we dont know? Will they make a judgement after Ukwa has gone back where he came from – the very hot place down below????

  9. The judges need to be serious.
     Why did they agree this date, and only tell us this in superfluous language?

     It is now about judges holding the taxpayer to ransom. They are also putting the government in very bad light.

     God have mercy.

    • Unlike the Police, I think the Judiciary is trying to tell the executive that they will not accept being dictated to or issued with instructions on how to handle legal matters.
      Someone asked that “were are the calls for Judicial review that were very loud from the Post and the PF?” Does judicial review simply mean the removal of CJ Sakala and his deputy? That is what happens when you target individuals that you feel you can’t defame. You attack the institution and as soon as your target moves on you tend to forget your baseless trumpeting of reform, blah blah

  10. Someone will dye of womanising in a five star hotel. I saw him picking sluts in Rhodespark! Looking at his age, he uses viagra! Wait, it will be e regional funeral!

  11. Wither Judge Chikopa! Where to now Judge Chikopa? How about your family in Mzuzu? Are you sure they are not missing you. Think of their feelings as well instead of being an introvert. The feelings of your family and friends back in Mzuzuland should transcend any other business. Morally speaking, Judge Chikopa, please stop earning money that poor people of Zambia are paying for your upkeep. Have you worked anywhere in Zambia to earn that salary? Anywhere in the world people are paid in arrears all the time. How come you are an excerption? Earning a salary before you work.

  12. Leave Chikopa alone. The problem is our judges. If they cared, they could have allocated more time to this case and have it finalised. Surely they have the capacity to sort out this case quickly at once.

  13. Madam Acting Chief Justice be serious for once, we are all waiting for this case to be finalized quickly, please if it means re scheduling some cases in order to attend to this case quickly, please let us do that.

  14. The gvt and Sata know that they erred by bringing on Chikopa.They cant just bring themselves to admit they are wrong hence keeping Chikopa here

  15. Justice Chikopa are you not needed to serve your own people back in Malawi? Go back and serve the Malawian people! we will call back if need arises.

  16. What goes around comes around. Time will definitely come when PF will be asked to account for their deeds. It is not too late though for them to make things right and start addressing the concerns the masses are bring to the fore. If you think all this is due to hate, use your OP guys to sniff around and report back about people’s concerns.

  17. YOU PF CHAPS, PLEASE COME TO YOUR SENSES. YOU THINK ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES YOU IS BITTER OR A TRIBALIST YOU ARE WRONG. WHEN NAWAKWI AND CHIPIMO CRITICIZE YOU, YOU ARE QUIET, IF HH SAYS A WORD HE IS BITTER, HE IS A TRIBALIST. CAN’T YOU SEE THAT HE IS GAINING MORE AND MORE GROUND? KEEP IT UP HH 2016 IS WAITING FOR YOU!!!!!
