The Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) is today Tuesday September 3rd scheduled to hold a meeting with the Attorney General Mumba Malila as a follow up on the resolutions that emanated from its last Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 24.

The August 24 LAZ AGM, had resolved to maintain that Justice Lombe Chibesakunda is not qualified to hold the office of the country’s Chief Justice and that the association would engage relevant authorities on the issue of filling the vacant position of the country’s Chief Justice.

LAZ president James Banda told Qfm in an interview that the said meeting with the Attorney General, which is the initial measure the association had resolved to use to have the vacant position of the country’ s Chief Justice filled, follows a letter the Association wrote to the Ministry of Justice.

Mr. Banda noted that the letter was sent to the Ministry on the 26th of August last month and the Ministry replied last week to advise the Association on the date to hold the said meeting.

And Mr. Banda has expressed delight that resolutions that the Association’s August 24 AGM had resolved are being followed through at a good pace.

Earlier LAZ had however indicated that it will litigate over on the issue of the vacant position of the country’s Chief Justice if its intended plans to engage relevant authorities on the matter fails.

    • If LAZ had any power this poor lady would have been removed

      Enough barking. They say barking dogs seldom bite

      They are making themselves look desperate, I am sure if Sata wants her at the helm, she will stay

      Storm in the teacup then LAZ?

      Thanks

    • Mushota could be right here. LAZ should first remove chibesakunda from the LAZ register, the we will know they are doing something. Taking the matter to court, though a good idea, but it will be the same chibesakunda making the judgement

    • If LAZ can deregister this truant Madam Lombe Chibesakunda from her membership of the Legal Professional Body,then automatically,she cannot be allowed to practice law either as a Judge or Lawyer.If Accountants,Doctors and Engineers can do this with their erring members,what is the problem with LAZ??????

  1. Its about time. They should state clearly that their
    view that the Chief justice is in Office illegally and
    she must go. Illegality is unacceptable.

    • If she is finished then why not let her stand in Petauke so that she can be humiliated by the electorate like Mangani?

    • Don’t f.o.ol yourself, She will win My Friend, PF just revived Dora. She had finished but with PF’s behavior? People will vote for her.

    • If Dora is finished, why did PF fear to face her in Petauke in the first place. It is clear that Dora has given them sleepless nights. We do not need a rocket scientist to prove that there is desperation and fear in PF. I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure that the Supreme court’s judgement against Dora is questionable.

    • What LAZ is now doing is what all genuine lawyers and Zambians shud hva started doing just when the episode began…don’t condemn LAZ now but let us encourage and support them to enhance democracy, freedom & accountability and justice…rule of law is basis for justice,and justice is source of Divine favour and blessings for any nation…

  2. Can someone shut mushota up!!!! I cant stand the stench that comes from her mouth. she is a real skank!!!!!.

  3. these minors ve no legal basis hence blowing their trumpets louder with no meaningful legal advance. Infact its james banda whose illegally occupying the office of laz knowing well he is minor.

  4. I somehow have missed something here, can LAZ educate some of us – in simple terms – why they contend that Honorable Justice Lombe Chibesakunda is NOT fit to hold this esteemed office. I keep hearing the noises and reading about this matter, but I frankly cannot follow. To me this sounds a tad bit hateful…well, without the facts that is!

  5. Laz must state there grounds,is it Age?Alapsed Time frame in the acting capacity, credentials…are they below par?lesser than of Silungwe and Earnest Sakala?
