Miles Sampa’s case comes up before Supreme Court Full bench tomorrow

Share

Commerce, Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Miles Sampa

Supreme Court today ruled that the attempts by Miles Sampa to reopen the consent judgement that sealed the fate of Edgar Lungu as PF Presidential Candidate comes up tomorrow before the Supreme Court Full bench.

In this case, Miles Sampa is attempting to contest the Consent Judgement that was issued by High Court Judge Mungeni Mulenga.

Sampa is represented by Sebastaian Zulu, Sakwiba Sikota and Makebi Zulu. Lungu is represented by Mosho and Chashi.

Lungu’s lawyers have contested that Sampa has no locus standi and is abusing the court process.

Lungu stated that Miles Sampa is relying upon illegal decisions made by a General Conference that was barred by the courts of law, is also relying upon the decision of a dismissed officer Bridget Attanga.

In settling the matter, new Secretary General Davies Chama resolved the matter with PF National Chairperson Inonge Wina and entered into the Consent Judgement that was approved and issued by the Lusaka High Court.

In the event that Sampa wins the case tomorrow, it will be referred back to the High Court. the High Court can consider Sampa’s argument to re-open the Consent Judgement.

In the event that the case is dismissed, Mr Sampa’s fate will be sealed.

    • I will choose Sampa over Edgar (Kaminamisa) any day. Did you see his picture in today’s Post. RB looks much healthier and they are seated next to each other. The years of continuous alcoholism show on Edgar’s face

    • Sampa has made his life short by not going go stage by stage, he may end up being a youth chairperson for his constituency under UPND.

    • Put this insolent foo..l in his place. He thinks he can manipulate Zambia for his selfish ambitions. Miles Chipuba

    • Mongu town……..Mongu town boostele coming through!!!!
      2015 vote PF(Edgar)
      I thank you

    • A Phiri my dear friend I hope you will forgive me but I will have to pass on your offer. I learned my lesson in 2011 never to bet on Zambian politics. That is when I’d said, Zambians are a civilized people, no way can they elect a gutter rat like Sata as the country’s chief executive. Man, was I wrong!

  1. Tomorrow will be the end of Miles Sampa’s political career. In effect, Sampa must know that the injunction against that second conference means that any decisions from it were null and void. Sampa has been out-maneuvred by Lungu such that all his supporters are staying away from him like he has skin disease!

  2. Hes too ambitious, he should have waited another 5 years before contesting for presidence. achepa! Zambia is bigger than Matero.kikikikikikikik

  3. Lets wait and see tomorrows judgement with the full bench means all intellectuals will be present judging the case. Who will be there anyway? Is it all supreme court judges or who?
    VIVA PF AND ELUNGU

    • Full bench is also an indication that should he fail to win the case then he cannot go to supreme court again through a different judge with the same case. It would mean the entire supreme court has decided.. So we wait and hear the outcome tomorrow. If he wins then another high court process… Hope PF will have a sealed candidate before 20th December. After all its next week..

  4. Sampa is a very progressive guy should not associate himself with a Party like PF which is controlled by illiterate-thugs like Willie Nsanda.

    • In polistics you need to have a street touch for you to make it. so dont blame EL, we do not choose our supporters, but supporters choose us when they see something in us. what about those guys that soruond Miles putting on red ballets with machets? are they not thugs? kukosa mudala. bachindamafye ngabafwala ama tie nama suit!

    • Why is UPND so scared of Edgar? You did the same to Sata but he walloped you pants down.
      Its happening again, Edgar is burying your HH for ever on 20th January 2015.

      Its EDGAR LUNGU PA ZED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  5. Hi LT Bloggers, am too forgetful sometimes. kindly could someone remind me, if HH fails on 20th January, will it be his 5th time or 6th??? can’t remember since it’s now getting out of hand.

    • @Umwina Zambia inkoko
      it should be 5th if i have not mistaken, thats why his suppoters are insulting EL and call themslves peacifu.

    • A “man with a vision” has lost 4 times? Maybe he need to have a proper vision for his party first before he imposes another “vision” on the nation. What do u think?

  6. Lungu is a Malawian, why is he even wasting his life campaigning when he won’t be nominated? Or have the riggers fixed this one as well?

    • And you are Congolese. Why talk about matters of this country? Zambians know that he is qualified to stand, only you foreigners keeps insinuating..

    • Disgusting to you? Then why do u listen to him? You are same people who say toilet is disgusting yet you go have your lunch from in there.. If u do listen to him then you don’t know what disgusting means..

    • @10.1 Graham

      “..If u do listen to him then..” “IF” is a wrong premise. You sound lost in the wood of your own creation.

  7. it was planned that cartel conversion would be organised.It was planned by Scott to impose a candidate.We Zambian pipo especilly PF members want EL.PF is not a party for cartel.UPND supporters from nowhere are supporting Miles sampa.Why?becuase they know that he is a weak candidate.Let the will of majority prevail than of selfish individuals who want to steal our resources by imposing the candidates.Please we need peace that being controlled by mmembe who doesn’t want to pay taxes.

  8. I thot sampa has two options that is joining UPND or forming his own party. The judges shud not waste time on pipo whose aim is to destroy. look at RB who has real intrest for the party between RB Mumba. lawyers pipo like sampa and RB shud not be represented

  9. I am encouraged to learn that a group of Zambians are compiling a list of all PF thugs involved in violence for further action in 2015 once the new government assumes power. Please please this list is important. If there is any NGO that can come up and help us push this agenda. Also MPs I propose the following for you to legislate though I know PF MPs will abscond, if some body is found with one panga,atleast 5 years imprisonement, two pangas 10 years in that order. Please

  10. Miles Sampa has no interest of the party.For him it’s becoming a president.If he loses he joins another party or form his own.How do u trust a person to lead the country.Infact those chaps disobeyed the court order.We can’t allow pipo who doesn’t respect the rule of law to be heard in courts of law otherwise pipo won’t respect the courts.pabwatoooooo n Lungu.

  11. Samoa is wiser than Lunga. he did something for his material people,he has his business! Those who argue tell us what he has done for Chawama apart from sharing beer with his thugs. Don’t mention roads which are a national programs

  12. Miles was very clear when he said if i lose i’ll form my party or Join UPND.Ooops such behavior can’t be take seriously by people who love the party.Miles is being used and was imposed by cartel and Scott by deciding to punish lungu.Miles and cartel are indeeed evil and can put this country on fire.I’ve never seen such a vice president who impose candidates on pipo whom they don’t want.Mmembe should know that owing newspaper is nothing.Zambians want peace but cartel want to continue abusing the Judicially and resources by imposing their own candidates.We hope justice of the majority zambianms will be prevailed by the suprime court.We love this country and let the will of pipo rule.it’s unfortunate that Sampa can’t be ashamed of himself by disobeying the court coz of love of money.

  13. God honors the humble and Edgar is one such. Cartel and underhand methods to bring him done has failed lamentably. Edgar is people’s choice and people’s choice is Edgar. Its clearly written on everyone’s face

    Sampa please learn to respect authority in politics (abantu) and stop imitating Mr. Sata for God’s sake!

  14. Mmembe would would be happy to see PF fail. Even the support he seems to be giving to kilometer Sampa is fake. But this boy is too DULL to see this fact. Apo fye Bamupantile below below the belt over Kabimba’s dismissal ala chalimukalipa. Aliya akapilipili. He should know that there is time for everything, and his time of reckoning is drawing nearer than he thought. Pobo !!!

    • The only problem is that such things cannot accurately be predicted. Even any new president he may want can turn against him and fix him.. Power corrupts

  15. As a humanitarian, I’m hoping that the supreme court will put this boy Sampa out of his miseries tomorrow by summarily dismissing his stúpid case. ka Lungu and his clique of thieves out-maneuvered him. It’s time to face reality.

  16. May Our Almighty God guide supreme court judges tomorrow so that our beloved party can continue intact and zambians enjoy peace than that chaos which engulfed us before Edgar Lungu(majority choice) was declared PF president by a very wise judge Mulenga!O Lord give wisdom to our judges so that spoilers like Miles Sampa can be ashamed!poor zambians cannot be controlled by the cartel(M’membe and his team)!God,evil cant defeat what majority zambians want( EL) SO PLEASE GOD DEFEAT THIS CARTEL TOMORROW IN SUPREME COURT,AMEN!!!!!VIVA PF VIVA EDGAR LUNGU!

  17. Can lt bloggers tell which party does muzungu opusa (guy scot) and Sampa belong UPND or PF. I see they are more of confusion than unification.

  18. vote EL zAMBIA WILL HAVE THE tallest president in the WORLD and the Ugliest First Lady IN africa. Is this not a Good legacy ? PLEASE let us not let off this chance to ERECT a tallest presido
