Patriotic Front – P F Media Director Sunday Chanda says the growing trend of political parties attacking the judiciary at will, must stop.Mr. Chanda says the recent attacks on Chief Justice Irene Mambilima by some political parties is unfortunate and must be condemned by all well-meaning Zambians.

He says if left unchecked, the trend has potential to divert the country from following laws to one where people disrespect the same laws they have enacted.Mr. Chanda said this in an interview with ZNBC news in Lusaka.

He noted that the judiciary is the oasis of justice for all Zambians and that it is blind to individuals, political affiliations and should be defended by all citizens.

Mr. Chanda explained that those who feel aggrieved by the judicial processes must channel their complaints through institutions such as the Judicial Complaints Authority.

    • Chanda is a sensible human being.

      I have a PhD

    • This is funny really funny who the hell is ka chanda to tell us not to criticise anyone?
      Fuseki fuma apa!

    • She is useless we will not stop until you fools do something about it….the whole PF can burn to the ground…..you are destroying the country.

    • This exactly what PF is doing. Disrepecting the same laws they enacted….go and sh!t your a$$ Chanda, you might live to see the truth tomorrow

  1. Please stop attacking our Chief Injustice, especially those from the rulling party, as long as the appointing authority is Jameson changwa Lungu, forget about justice in this country full stop. kkkkkkkkk,
    “Two legs bad, four legs good,”George Orwell.

    • She is a corrupt biatch. She is bringing all the crap on the judiciary by being biased and corrupt. We know she got 3 brand new vehicles and lots of money from Lungu since 2015.

  2. In what capacity is Sunday Chanda telling Zambians not to criticize the Chief Justice (CJ)? The CJ is a Public Worker paid a monthly salary from Taxpayers money so why shouldn’t she be criticized publicly for making mistakes. If we don’t criticise CJ who will hold her accountable? The CJ is supposed to be the CEO of the Judiciary but she is docile and not bringing these Judges to order. The CJ is supposed to protect the Judiciary from attacks by the Executive Arm of govt but she is doing none of this. There is disorder in our Courts and CJ is failing to provide leadership. Instead she is conniving with Politicians to make money. The CJ is the weakest Link in the Judiciary chain today and is failing to guide our Courts. If the CJ cannot discipline and guide these Judges then who will?…

    • Chanda ought to speak to PF party members or sell PF manifesto to the general public. As to the governance of the government, he has no mandate.

      Anarchy is where the party and the government are being treated as one and the same thing. KK did the same and of course there country was in ICU.

  3. It was not wise for CJ to State that the Judiciary is independent. I wouldn’t agree with you Madam. And I’m sure the marjority of conscious Zambians would say the same thing. Since PF came to power they’ve been trying to reform the Judiciary. When you were appointed CJ you did not enact any reforms. So how can she make such a statement like she’s teaching a Sunday school class comprising of children who don’t know what she’s saying. The fact that she said it when addressing Court Reporters, without being asked, shows either lack of understanding or guilty on her part.

  4. IF THE JUDICIARY IS REALLY FREE. WHY IS PF SUNDAY CHANDA DEFENDING IT. THE FACT IS THE JUDICIARY SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE PF.

  5. In Ghana, there’s a video of a High Court Judge taking bribes went viral. That’s when Ghana revamped their rotten judiciary.

    In Zambia we don’t need videos to see that the CJ is shamelessly, disappointingly, useless & biased.

    A serious revamp is required otherwise it’ll attract dire consequences for our country including citizens taking the law into their own hands.

  6. Sunday. Awe sure. You parents should really have named you Friday or Saturday. Firstly, who are you to tell Zambians who pay the now chief of injustice what to comment on and not? Second, the so called “iron lady” now a “jelly lady” has not upheld her allegiance to our people. This whole fake treason charges, presidential petition etc. Are all because she did not display impartial leadership to get down to the root cause and enforce an impartial path. She is the guardian of our judicial system and should always ensure the truth and right thing are done impartially to all and for Zambian citizens. The reverse has happened and she should be held accountable and will be when Lungu leaves that office.

  7. Who is this mad Sunday Chanda to be defending the Chief Justice! An unelected PF Cadre defending a Government Official Mambilima – this is the proof that of the failed justice. The mad man Chanda is defending that fat ugly CJ Mambilima because she favours PF? Where is the full time paid up Govt spokesperson to speak on Govt’s behalf? It is because she knows Mambilima is useless and in fact a disaster to our country – the sooner she goes the better! The woman is a big ar.sewhore!!

    • True. Chanda is a PF Media Director and NOT government spokesperson. They must be in a normal functioning system a well defined way of running government or party duties.

      PF led government is a non starter. Reason being: Most of the so called officials are more or less cadres hence insufficient academic qualifications

  8. She has to go we will not stop bashing her she is useless and corrupt….and anyone standing up for her has something to hide…pretty soon people will stop fearing the PF caders and they will stand up to the this madness.

  9. PF is the most indisciplined ruling party Zambia has had! Who is this boy to be telling us what we can or cannot comment on? How far will this nonsense go on before it ends?

  10. This is the Chief Justice who chose to look the other way when Edgar Lungu violated the Republican Constitution by refusing to handover the instruments of power to the Speaker during the period of the Presidential Election Petition. This was treason wasn’t it? Does she still have integrity after such serious violations of the constitution by PF?

  11. And with all this corruption you have a supposed leader lungu who is supposed to be s lawyer ???

    Just his fraud conviction and consequent LAZ diregister should have diqualified him from the corridors of power to protect poor Zambia.

    Right when he assumed power I was spot to point out lungu will never relinquish power as per constitution.. ..he is to corrupt.. .he will change the constitution to serve even 20 years

  12. Can we had some order in this government? Where does Chanda get the mandate to speak for the executive, the judiciary? Who is in charge of the government?

  13. Nowonder she was looked over twice for the post of Chief Justice, she is cantancrous! In the most unlikely event that I as her, I would check what happened to CJ Matthews Ngulube after he was caught pants down wallowing in FTJ Chiluba’s stinking pockets. He fell from grace and todate he still stinks. We also have Judge Chinyama that Akulu Mpuno Bwezani Banda hired to let Chiluba off the hook, but alas God killed the diminutive pygmy even before it could canvass for support for him in Luapula and he lost the polls.
