The Lusaka High Court has again adjourned the matter in which nine Patriotic Front Members of Parliament whose elections were nullified are challenging the decision of Speaker of the National Assembly Nelly Mutti.
The matter was due to be considered this morning but has again been adjourned to a later date to allow the court to attend to the Contempt proceedings against Raphael Nakacinda which was filed by the Attorney General.
Yesterday, Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha asked for permission from the High Court to Commence contempt proceeding against PF member of the Central Committee Raphael Nakacinda.
Mr. Kabesha alleged that Mr. Nakacinda issued a contemptuous statement aimed at undermining the case in which BOWMAN LUSAMBO and others are challenging the Speaker’s decision to stop them from attending Parliament.
He has argued that the said words are malicious and suggests that there is interference in the Judiciary by a member of the executive.
This is according to an affidavit in Support of the Summon for leave to Commence Contempt proceedings in the High Court. In this matter, the complainant is Mr. Kabesha while the alleged contemnor is RAPHAEL Nakacinda.
Mr. Nakacinda alleged that President Hichilema has been summoning judges at his house with the view of influencing the outcome of the court process.
Meanwhile, Raphael Nakacinda has been summoned to appear before Chelstone Police Station for questioning at 14:00hrs today.
Corrupt politically inclined judges. Soon they will start dropping dead. God doesn’t like liars
So this Attorney General has nothing else to do? Please can someone keep him busy by giving him something to do.
Nakacinda dared everyone to report to the police because he claims he has evidence of seeing judges meeting HH. So lets use his binoculars and see the evidence kaili.
How do they expect Rafa to substantiate what he saw in a binoculars
Naakachinda is reckless, and being used. He is now hurting the mp cases. The court can not move ahead with such careless allegations. Who know what he uses that binoculars
The caliber of nakachinda as a senior PF member says a lot about the PF party…….
It is a reckless party of hooligans and cader thugs……….
That is the Genisis of the PF……..they need stone throwers and reckless thugs like him and lusambo to rouse their caders………
While the clever theives in their heighrachy are watching on and waiting in the wings…..,……
Deja Vu – if the govt does nothing you complain does something you still complain… PF need sober minded people not that former MMD troll
Scavenger Nakachinda learn from Nawakwi. These names start with Na…
Nawakwi went wrong way with PF, now tell us which PF official attended Nawakwi ‘s husband funeral days ago? NONE.
Nawakwi buried her husband alone.
Just be friendly people.
Do we only have one High Court Judge and one court room for this matter to fail ‘because the court had to attend to Nakacinda matter’?
Countries have been destroyed because governance institutions such as the judiciary are dragged into politics. The guy needs to sober up and stop being obscenely opportunistic.
#7 Tarino Orange… When Mr Hakainde made the same remarks against the judges and the former goverment, I don’t remember the AG being so enthusiastic.
You tell people’s character by the manner they respond to provocation. If there’s an institution that defends itself well in Zambia it’s the Judiciary, they don’t anybody to move them. They deal with Nakachinda in the same way they dealt with John Mambo. But it seems the UPND have completely lost their minds over the wayward boy just like their leader lost his when he lost the election petition. He singled out Her Honour Justice Sitali and made very derogatory remarks about her. This is Zambia where most things don’t make sense
Above. Did Hakainde say the same words and sentence that Nakacinda said? That must be a conincidence, that Nakacinda is copying what HH said. Now, provide that proof.
Mob psychology can make one say wrong things. I feel pity for the guy who was used to destroy MMD
Please try and report like professionals. In a case like this we need to know where Mr Nakachinda allegedly uttered these words. Its not enough to just say
“Mr. Nakacinda alleged that President Hichilema has been summoning judges at his house..”
As a lawyer I want to know if he said this in parliament because that could change the whole case
@LT Needs to go to School ,
LT sucks !! Horrible !!! WE DESERVE BETTER, THAN THE CRAP LT IS SERVING US WITH !!
They are only good at moderating innocent comments, moderation which sometimes takes more than 24hrs, such that when they finally decide to release it, the article would have been history.
HH expects his outbursts against his opponents to stop because he is THE President shame.
How I wish that one day we can have a president who can focus on helping our poor people and move Zambia forward.
Instead ruling parties are focused on fixing political opponents so that they perpetuate their stay in power. All we hear about is IMF, increasingly electricity and fuel tariffs and helping large multinational corporations to avoid paying taxes and who has been summoned to appear at Police stations.
It’s a merry go round, only thing that changes is the party in power but same stuff.
Can’t we really do better as a nation?
Dr. K Kaunda in 1991 said frightened little men.
This is how this government is acting really a confused lot they don’t know what is hurting Zambians, but wasting time on trivial issues leaving the elephant in the room.
This is what the PF means when they say they’re rebranding the party and boy, have they succeeded?
Late Sata destroyed Zambian politics. He reduced to banter! And young politicians followed his banter calling it charisma. Umwine wachisushi, come and arrest me, umulembwe wachipuba etc. Nakachinda challenged authority to arrest him so that he could spill the beans. Now Nakachinda has the perfect opportunity he was asking for. Why complain?
Deja Vu – And you have forgotten the Police call outs HH7 was getting…why dont you separate the President from this…this Na-ka-cinda’s mouth has just delayed his PF MPs case.
