Lawyers representing United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has asked the Kitwe High Court to stand down a bench warrant issued against him by Judge Catherine Mukanga.
It is understood that lawyers representing the acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda who is a complainant in the matter have never served the summons on him and that the last notice was published in a newspaper advertisement.
As a result of this, the UPND legal team was not aware of the dates and could not therefore inform Mr Hichilema who until yesterday was on a campaign trail in Mangango.
The lawyer are said to have pleaded with the court to lift the bench warrant and have undertaken to ensure that Mr Hichilema would be in court at the next hearing.
The acting Chief Justice has complained to the Kitwe High Court and charged him with contempt of court.This is in a case in which acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda has applied to commit Mr Hichilema to prison for allegedly commenting on an issue when he referred to her position as acting Chief Justice.
The matter was scheduled for hearing on July 9th this year but was adjourned to August 18th after the court was informed that summons had not been served because he was not found at a given address.
Ruling comes up today.
OK, HH, you are free to go
Now you have your tribal tail in between your stinky arse and begging.
You now see the people in our society who have real power!!
stop your tribal stupid!ty
But I thought she was Acting Chief Justice, what crime do those of us who do not know when she was appointed chief justice commit when we refer to her as acting chief justice?
Imbwa ikazi uka itana/ kukamba ati ni ikazi, ninshi balimulandu bwanji?
If this judge does not rescind her decision on this case she will see red.
The Law can be trick often times.Its never straight forward. Thats y lawyers are making ATMs on their cleints.!
Summons served in newspaper in form of an ad? Where did the court find money to place such an ad? That’s misuse of public resources
When the CJ is the chief criminal, she can do anything like a slut can open her legs to mine gold
@1.1 GEN: Be humble even your foolish way. if i put an advert in the newspaper today concerning your stupidy behavier, do not tell me you will see it. so dont insult
These women, where are they taking the country. We can’t have this circus when the Acting Chief Justice knows that she is occupying the office illegally. If the Chief Judge and her girls friends bring kitchen mentality to high offices is a resp for disaster. We have the same problem with the lady cops. I think this was by design by Sata. Where is the Lusaka woman Judge who made that fake Malawian judge pack his bags at mid-night? That is a man in a woman’s body!
HH has to be strong; all this is part of process to Plot 1.
HH ahs no time to buy and read those daily mail shinda papers..let the man be free..atsaee..
@ GEN stop insulting people. Concentrate on teaching people to stop eating and carelessly interacting with mandrills least they contract Ebola. I hope you know what I am talking about. Don’t push people to mention your genitals when addressing you. character.
Chester, you are also insulting already. We all have genitals including you.
i am the all mighty people. i am successful at borrowing money from my friends and not paying them back. i specialize in back stabbing people and they call me evans mfula at evaduco from kitwe but now hiding in lusaka
Can we the Kalulushi motorist be allowed to start using part of the new tarred road.The current gravel road has really messed up our vehicles.
HH please consider Mangango as one of those loose. You have the whole future to make strides and make that difference. It’s still that future for young
HH will never have future in politics because his beginning was bad based of tribal. He entered on the ticket of “Only a Tonga” can lead UPND. So, only Tongas will vote for him and his tribal Taliban political party, UPND. Therefore, Muchinga, Luapula, Northern, Urban Copperbelt, Lusaka and half Central will never vote for such a bias political leader.
And you say we all have to celebrate 50 years of freedom, serious? This is persecution. How many people talked about this lady that time and how many are in court today? Is this the way you [mis]use power? Where is the freedom of speech as guaranteed by the constitution? Are you sure we are actually free? You comment on something glaringly visible and you are threatened with committal to prison. Nonsense!
people is she not the acting chief justice if I May ask.
Ati bodza , bati. Mukonenkesheni fye uyo, acilamo, having neither regard nor respect for the national judicial structures and its learned officers!
