President Michael Sata has this morning appointed Kitwe High Court judge, Lloyd Siame as an additional member of the tribunal constituted to probe the conduct of two suspended Ndola High Court judges, Emelia Sunkutu and Timothy Katanekwa.
President Sata set up the tribunal in September last year, which was being co-chaired by former Chief Justice Mathew Ngulube and Mr Justice Frederick Chomba SC, who is former minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General.
President Sata announced the appointment of Mr Justice Siame during a swearing-in ceremony at State House in Lusaka today.
President Sata last year on September 11th, appointed two tribunals to probe the two suspended Ndola High Court Judges.
The tribunal to probe Justice Sunkutu is headed by former Chief Justice Mathew Ngulube while the one to probe Justice Katanekwa is headed by Justice Frederick Chomba.
Speaking during the swearing in ceremony at State House, President Sata wished Justice Siame the best and wished him God’s blessings as he sits on the two tribunals.
And the Head of State took a swipe at those who did not have hair at the event including Justice Siame who was being sworn-in.
And Justice Siame has said that it is an honor to be appointed to serve on the two tribunals probing the two suspended Ndola High court Judges.
He said that he will work to the best of his ability in discharging his duties.
Where is the money coming from? I didn’t know we had money to pay judges. funny i thought we had none left.
Pray that zambia gets to 2016 in one piece peacefully,,, there is alot of hate, bittness and vengence… wina a zalila!!
its a disgrace indeed. uneducated chaps should just be left alone smoking ganja in their villages, ooh I forgot that ganja smokers balunkonena. just observe them in action when proposing a woman. alefwaya nangu talefwaya mpakafye
There is nothing wrong with what the president has done
They probably needed the help, seeing how slow the case has come, saying that from that picture all those people should be retired
How on earth are people allowed to work beyond their retirement age?
What of us young lioness who are hungry more educated?
Saying that, we are talking of a third world country here in Zambia, I doubt people are even paid anything above £30,000 equivalent for a year, which would be the minimum it would take to lure my skills
Coupled with a Butler, guards free house, 2 vehicles , can someone help me what else?
Thanks
All pictures for our President are not looking well. He needs to be put on a diet.
What is wrong with legs our CJ?
All of them are in hush puppies. Ifikote ifipuba.
@Ndobo, you mean Zambia to experience South Sudan?? No no we don’t like such in Zambia, what we miss are PF funerals. Miss Sakeni mwee.
Does Ukwa know that his Job description is far much more than just swearing in people day in and out.
A picture of antiques,all nursing home candidates.
Iwe you D!!ck, we DO NOT GIVE A TOSS about the judges!!! Sort out mealie meal issues you sick chap!
@dudelove
Your opinion is misconceived. We need the judges as disputes including issues on mealie meal are brought before them for adjudication. We therefore need efficient and reliable judges in the judiciary.
St. Jude, what am annoyed about is the way Sata seems to give precedence to these issues that DO NOT directly benefit the masses. I fail to see how a mealie meal issue would find itself in the courts of law. These tribunals will take forever considering appeals and so forth but the chaps heading these tribunals will still need to get paid. And if you have a look at the genesis of this tribunal, it is because Sata decided these judges were corrupt. I highly doubt he received a detailed report against these judges. How many tribunals were formed when this chap came into power and how many have given any findings apart from the ones he tossed out coz they did not conform to what he had concluded?
THIS CIRCUS WILL NEVER END.No wonder NGOS are being taxed to raise money for this idiocy.
As advised by the cartel of course !Very sad situation pa zed. Nothing inspirational at all. SATA can easily win my heart if he orders M’membe to pay that 18bn as per court order FULLS TOP..this is where i miss LEVY MWANAWASA…WHEN ZAMBIANS demanded that Chiluba be stripped on his immunity he didn’t look at who woke him up to be president.
BUT SATA WHY?
Ifikote ifusushi fyekafyeka.
Your soul hurts because you insighted villagers to burn your grandfather for bewitching your father. Now you have one above 70 yrs in your family.
Dear Bloggers
The President is SICK!!! If we all care to be objective, we need to give the man a break.
The fact is that either He (and his advisers) are in denial or they they accept it, BUT believe that they have no other option due to personal agendas. Whichever way you look at it, it is Zambia that is paying for their ignorance or greed.
It is you and me who is suffering due to the lack of coherence expected of the head of state. The chaos in all sectors – economic, social, agriculture, political, education , including our International relations is scaring.
Just imagine in 2 years – No foreign head of state visit (save Bob), No press conference, trade dipping resulting in K327m trade deficit (Nov 2013), higher prices of commodities ………… OMG.
What next dear…
… unprecedented polarization on tribal lines, unparalleled antagonism with chiefs, unequaled intra-party violence within a ruling party, highest level of intimidation of opponents (in a multi-party era) and intolerance to dissenting views, complete disregard for the rule-of the-law, lack of respect for immediate subordinates (ministers etc) and many more.
All these are symptoms we tend to gloat over and trivialize.
@Bwana Mkubwa,
Very, very well articulated!
It is really f.o.olish to hide one’s illness especially as a leader!
The man has obviously lost weight and his suits are hanging all over.
Why can’t we be honest with ourselves for once?
Why should we risk another presidential by election?
Why not step down on medical grounds?
The worst mistake in life is a lesson not learnt.
Civil society should start petitioning for a serious medical board.
This borders on the security of our nation!
Hahahaha, Justice Siame! WHy not mingle the broth by appointing one Prof Michelo Hansungule or Muna Ndulo?
These are mere acts of a President who is desperate to save the necks of Nchito and Mmembe in return for the dubious services these evile menusually render behind the curtains.

Young people of our land have let everyone down and the fossils are having a field day. All revolutions are spearheaded by the 40 somethings – from the mountains of Cuba with Fidel atop, to the valleys of Qunu in SA where the fist of Mandela still slices the air defiantly, to the plateau of Lusaka where KK of old drove the colonialists out with the stones of chachacha.
Arise and quit watching our motherland rot while you argue passionately about the proceedings of the previous premiership games! Viva motherland
I would rather have President Banda or Mawanawasa or Frederick going on errands talking to investors to come and open up and fund employment opportunities which will bear fruit in about five years than look settle on political developments on a daily basis reading the watchdog to find out who is against or with me.
I need that news, with projects I can follow up later and see how they are doing. Some people think the bumper harvest, we had was just fortunate, there was planning and travel by these three presidents to go and mobilise investment. David Cameron is doing the same yet GBs welfare budget is almost £200m.
Are these different tribunals from those headed by one Judge Chikopa, the Malawian ‘blood-sucking’ judge?
Fun how in every shot Sata kept looking into the camera or at the cameraman, LOL. So this man still talks about bald headed men? I thought the ZWD were making stuff up. This country is really becoming more and more of a failed state under the tutelage of this President.

Hippopotamus!
The combined age of the 4 people in the centre of the picture is 420 years. Tukote tweka tweka.
The guys are so old that they were drawing pensions at independence. They’re so old that they sat behind Jesus in third grade. They’re so old that they could recognise Adam and eve facially.
There is nothing to probe here. These are just some of the tactics the president is employing to intimidate and control the judiciary. some judges will be running scared afraid of these tribunals. We know you now Mr president.
SATAn, ULI MUNKULUNGWE WALYA UMWAKA UMO. KWENA UNO, TAWAPITE! UBUPUBA BWACHILAMO.

Two questions; 1) The for Phyllis the CJ, why are they puffy? 2) The President, why has he developed a habit of wearing over-sized suits?
this people are sick look at the legs of CJ….indeed its a sick nation…undecided greed bunch of baboons…!!
Oh please some shut the b itch up
The Chief Justice’s bald head looks like those two bald head mutants in a matrix movie. The face looks and swollen feet like Galgameth.
Can some one advice the personal assistant to the president to care for the man and hands on with his dressing. Second picture clearly shows he has had an accident of soiling the front part of his trousers.
Ba sata ukusatasata. katwishi uko tuleya mwe
Is CJ suffering from elephantiasis ? Just asking.
Judge Katenekwa is one very corrupt bastard. Looks like time has caught up with him. To be honest these judges and lawyers are all friends and whine and dine together. They know each other’s secrets so I am sure the judges being investigated will be given very light punishment for appeasement of the general public.
Given their little education, I doubt either GBM or Masumba have ever read about the consequences of pacts with Lucifer. You see, according to traditional Christian belief in witchcraft in which Sata is the reincarnation of the devil on the Zambian political scene, a pact is between a PF cabinet minister/deputy and SatanN or the Chief demon. The likes of GBM and Masumba offer their soul in exchange for diabolical favours. Those favours vary by the tale, but tend to include free fuel, free house, ignorance, abundant illegal and illicit sex, wealth, or power. The bargain is always a dangerous one, as the price of the Fiend’s service is the wagerer’s soul. The tale always has a moralizing end, with eternal damnation for the foolhardy venturer. So to GMB, Masumba and all others in pacts…
