The Law Association of Zambia has challenged Government to come out clean on the whereabouts of President Michael Sata.

LAZ President George Chisanga said rising concerns over the whereabouts of President Sata are justified as President Sata is the number citizen of the nation.

Mr Chisanga said Government should not try to downplay the people’s concerns over President Sata because such concerns are justified.

“I don’t think there is any legal justification I can give for the absence of the President in the constitution but the general expectation is that a person holding the highest office in the land must be visible and if he is not available then convincing and justified reasons must be given to the public,” Mr Chisanga told Journalists in Lusaka.

He added, “You see, this is a public servant number one and people would like to know what is happening to the highest office in the country and if we leave it to speculations then people are going to raise all manner of suggestions as to where he is and what is going on.”

Mr Chisanga said the ball is in the court of the Government to come out openly on the matter.

“They should come out and tell the Zambian people where the President is, if he is resting then they should say, if he is unwell they should say it. Like what others have said, the President is just as human like everyone else, if you are well, people will pray for you.

President Sata has not been seen or heard in public for over three weeks.

  1. This is an interesting episode, the President has not been seen for the past 28 days now. His son was involved in a fatal road accident , his Daughter`s Mother died and yet the Fit and Working President failed to attend to these serious family commitments.
    I saw Uncle ABC and other Cabinet Members representing the President at the Funeral Service, Still the President is Missing.
    Could it be ( only speculating here ) that the Spirits of the Bashilubemba are now constraining the President from being seen in public. Oh , how we play with ancestral Spirits. May be he should leave the Bemba royalty alone and allow them do their thing the way they know how.

  2. He will soon show up and we shall all see him. Let us allow time to do what it does best, to reveal the truth.

  3. What they don’t want is Sata`s frail face to appear on TV, and go viral like the previous one. However long it will take, Sata will hibernate until his “facial-infrastructure” is much, much better.

    • Surely the LEGAL MINDS have started to talk. GRZ can not see anything wrong. where is the president, people want to know. I have personal feeling that he is within the country–that is my feeling, what about the majority????

  4. I think the PF is the most insensitive govt that we will ever have. When people talk, they don’t care, even when it is not the opposition talking. What is it that makes it difficult for them to bring the President in whatever state he is? Is he ‘Kamwale’ (girl confined for initiation in the Tonga tradition, who has a specific future date to come out in the public) who cannot be seen by his children, the Zambians? He will soon lose his father of the nation title, if he keeps treating us his ‘children’ like this! Muntu ni mutu, we therefore want to see the head, not just any other body part, NO!

    • He “LOST” his his father of the nation title long time ago when he started neglecting his family and telling them L!ES!

      Now he is really King Cabbage, aka Commander in THIEF!

  5. Get all the Latest frm ZWD. Sata is MUCH ALIVE AND KICKING but he is still Frail. By Next week you will see him in Public.

    He is recoverying thts all !!

    Let end this Speculation please.

    God loves Zambia BUT STILL WE WANT HIM TO RESIGN OVER HEALTH RELATED ISSUES !!!!

  6. Zambians let us learn to forgive one another and leave everything to God. God ‘s time is the best and he is the one who owns our lives. Forgive our president if he ever wronged you and pray for him for quick recovery. the nation still needs him remember its God who allowed him to ascend to power despite his human nature which corrupted him. Pray for your enemies that is what the bible says. I have always said do unto others as you would like them do to you. No one will run way from death its God’s plan. so do good works while still on earth and alive. your works will speak for you on that day. no one will go to heaven with money even the richest man on earth LIKE the man run Microsoft or even you

  7. THE TALK ABOUT SATA’S HEALTH IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I THINK THE BEST THE OPPOSITION CAN DO IS TO WISH HIM WELL AND CONTINUE CAMPAIGNG. OTHERWISE SATA WILL RISE UP VERY SOON FROM HIS SICK BED AND FINISH HIS TERMS. INFACT IT IS ONLY ONLINE WITH A FEW BLOGGERS WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF CONFUSSION. IN REAL LIFE WE ARE ALL DOING FINE. THE KWACHA IS FAIRING WELL AT K6.0 TO K6.2 TO THE DOLLAR, INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING ON WELL AND WE ARE ALL FINE. THE OPPOSITION WANTS TO PICK ON ANY STRAW TO HANG ON. BUT IT IS ALL FAILING TO WORK. IF THINGS WERE AS BAD AS UPND WANTS US TO BELIEVE, THERE WERE GOING TO BE RIOTS IN ZAMBIA. BUT THERE IS NONE. REFUGEES ARE STILL FLOCKING INTO ZAMBIA TO ENJOY THE PEACE OF OUR NATION. OF COURSE THE PF HAS NOT HANDLED THE CASE OF SATA’S HEALTH WELL.
