Nason Msoni wants the Constitutional Court disbanded

Share

All Peoples Congress Party President Nason Msoni has urged taxpayers to call for the disbanding of the country’s Constitutional Court saying the rulings and determinations coming out of the said court contradicts the purpose for which it was created.

Msoni in a statement, said the Concourt is a moribund institution which is only serving the interests of Republican President Edgar Lungu.

He said tax payers should demand for its disbandment because in its current form, the Concourt is a dysfunctional institution incapable of delivering equitable Justice to citizens besides just milking tax payers.

“The most difficult decision for Zambian taxpayers is to insist on keeping and maintaining the moribund Concourt which essentially is now a court created to serve the interests of Mr Lungu and his friends.

“The Judgements and the erroneous determinations churning out clearly contradict the very essence of legality in totality. As taxpayers, a time has come to demand that this court which is not fit for the purpose should be disbanded in order to be reorganised.

“From our standpoint of view, This court in its current form is dysfunctional and is incapable of delivering equitable Justice to our citizens besides just milking their pockets through taxes.
Let us view injustice inflicted on any one of us as injustice on all of us,” he said.

He said there is nothing less than disbanding the Concourt that can atone for the abuse and lack of public confidence in the court.

“Nothing can atone for the abuse of the court process than to demand its disbanding in order to be reorganised and win back public confidence.

“it is clearly now the duly for all progressive political leaders to ensure that the disbandment of this court is an agenda political item to any political discourse and engagement as a precondition.
This is the court criminals are using to launder illegality and fraudulent elections,” he said.

The outspoken opposition leader explained that the court was being used by “criminals” to circumvent the legality of electoral processes to earn political mandate.

“This is the court criminals are using as a conduit to circumvent the legality of electoral processes and subsequently handing down the fraudulent political mandate to thieves.

“This court has become inimical to the public interest and is posing a serious danger to public good and order.

“This court has become part of the Problem our country is experiencing including the plunder and looting of the state resources and is, in fact, the creation of this court,” he said.

The APC President was commenting on the over turning of the High Court Ruling by the Constitutional Court in which the election of Lusaka Central MP Margaret Mwanakatwe was nullified due to what it deemed electoral malpractice during campaigns.

    • PF candidate lost his appeal in the Livingston high court with concrete evidence of intimidation and violence but the high court gave its only interpretation. Upnd celebrated when their man was declared duly elected. Nobody complained.

    • We said this immediately we so pictures of the judges.
      It’s a mess. But it’s good for judges. 1 case per year. Freeeee money.

    • Why are we just watching this guy drive the country to the ground? Please let’s work together and remove him peacefully.

    • @ Tom it is funny how we all know that this guy is stealing but tulemutamba. He’s up to no good. We shouldn’t wait for under 5 or Kambwili because calo cesu bonse. If you guys wait until 2021 there won’t be no Zambia pantu uyu muntu ali pamufulo. Do him the Mugabe. Next time he goes to Uganda tell him not to come back. Akamuntufye kamo kaletushupa, atate

    • This is a Kangaroo Court for sure! If it were a court worth it’s salt, we would have Edgar masquerading as the president now.

  1. These are grounds to institute contempt of Court proceedings. The Concourt should realize that by not calling to account incidents of such nature that undermine the Court it is allowing a bad light to be cast on a sacred institution of governance. Concourt should immediately call for contempt proceedings to proceed on this and other infringements to preserve the sanctity of the court.

  2. One thing I hate about Mr Msoni is that HE IS AMONG THE LIFETIME PRO – WESTERN AGENDAS. From 2005 , using Franklyn ken Ngo’ndo ( his cousin) but being used by Anglo – American as a political advocate to champion his malice on MMD era. He made HUGE noise such that levy Mwanawasa was after him.Mr Msoni ran away from the pangs of LPM. In 2014 he came to siege the ka nthemba party while behaving like an one- eye eagle. This time around he has joined Laura Miti and other 6 NGOs who are using Churches to doctors their political agendas.

    • What has his history got to do with current situation on the ground?? When injustice is delivered, we all need to worry as you could be next I’m the line of injustice.. Whether famous or not!

  3. hope he wont be cited for contempt by the same court……Concourt is a creation of the Constitution…..it cannot be disbanded………Msoni supported Lungu ….Today he speaking a different language
