The State is demanding K5 million from lawyer John Sangwa after his petition against the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) was dismissed by the Constitutional Court with costs.
Attorney General Likando Kalaluka said that the payment incurred when the State prosecuted the matter must be done immediately.
The Attorney General warned that the payment must not be done beyond 14 days.
He says if the amount remain outstanding for the period of 14 days, the State will invoke its legal rights to move the court for taxation without any negotiations.
“I write to demand for the merge sum of K5,000,000 only as costs incurred by the State to prosecute the matter,” the Attorney General said.
The Constitutional Court recently condemned Mr. Sangwa with costs after he lost a petition in which he wanted the affidavit for Presidents to have a clause indicating that they have not held office twice.
The Attorney General had about 21 lawyers who worked on this petition to have it dismissed.
Azakosa sangwapo. KZ pay for him
KZ THE BLOGGER IS ALL MOUTH ONLY
WHAT MONEY KIKIKI
21 LAWYERS ?????? LIES >>>>>>>> MAYBE 21 PARA LEGALS AT THE BEST
The PF. Always finding ways of muzzling opponents. Chishimba Kambwili and GBM were denied business deals. Sangwa has to be financially punished for challenging Lungu’s eligibility yet its his right as a citizen to demand for the obeying of laws. Sangwa should be given K5 million for his efforts at adherence to the law.

This is a matter of life and death fight for survival. Dr. Sangwa has to survive just like any other in the name of democracy when it is fraught with malice. All those others petitioning like Linda Kasonde and Sishuwa Sishuwa have fallen out of Edgar Lungu’s favour and are needing survival through revenge. Why are the churches and others genuine citizens not fighting the ineligibility? Do they think the other camp can’t petition Hakainde Hichilema’s candidature in any way?
Please stop this rot.
The state must not be seeing to be trying to fix its own citizens who try to find credible answers through the established courts. This is sending a very wrong and dangerous signal out there. There is no normal state that would be inflicting such damage on a citizen for cases that are valid and need clarity. Now people will be scared to seek audience in the courts especially against the state or political party in power for fear of being hounded and slapped with heavy fines. There is definitely no justification to penalise Mr Sangwa to pay that kind of money to the state anyway. The PF led govt must desist from this behavior that whoever does not agree with them has to be punished in some way or the other.
It is clear that GRZ/ Kalaluka and company are behaving like a bunch of
PF mafia. Mr. Kalaluka stop behaving like a PF sorrogate. Do you need 21 lawyers to work on such a straight forward matter.
Likando Kalaluka has no shame he thinks he works for Edgar Lungu can he show us the invoice where costs added up to K5 million for civil servants
John Sangwa is merely seeking attention…..but it’s costing the Judiciary money….these half baked Lawyers we have in Zambia…even when they know that the case is going nowhere…just wasting tax payers money…He will finish HH’s money
Imwe ba LAZ muli kwii? This is where you need to come in. That’s the reason why i find it very difficult to evangelize to lawyers. too much ubu crook! k5,000,000.00 honestly?
And where’s your conscious?
The outgoing attorney general Kalaluka should be arrested for distortion of money from Sangwa. How can government lawyers on salary can incur a K5 million bill in one week. Can you break that money down?
This Boy Likando Kalaluka is the most USELESS AG in the history of this country!!
There’s no constitutional court in Zambia, its an INSTITUTIONAL COURT for the Presidency.
Ugly route to take…. this sounds deeply personal and just in the name of “GRZ”
