Obvious Summerton Mwaliteta, who refers to himself as a Lusaka lawyer, has stated that it is a sign of total disrespect for Members of Parliament to refuse to work with the government of the day in formulating laws.
Mwaliteta claimed that MPs are not paid salaries to fight the government but to facilitate progress. He warned that refusing to vote for a bill in Parliament amounts to a serious offense and will attract consequences.
“We’re all lawyers and we understand these things. What I know is that MPs must support the government instead of just getting paid for free. If they get paid but refuse to vote for a Bill 7 then it is going to amount to obtaining money by false pretence. We shall deal with such MPs, they will be visited,” Mwaliteta said.
Mwaliteta’s credentials have been a subject of public controversy. Eden University recently issued a statement clarifying that he has never studied law at their institution, contrary to his claims. The UPND Lusaka Province Chairperson, who now calls himself a Lusaka lawyer, has not publicly responded to Eden University’s clarification. It remains unclear where he studied law.
However, Mwaliteta achieved six points in last year’s GCE examinations, a claim the Examination Council of Zambia has not refuted.
What type of lawyer can this one be, who even told lies when ECL died he said HH has the constitutional right to bury ECL when there was no such provision in the constitution. This is a totally failed project, initially when they took over they blamed covid, then blamed PF, then blamed the Russian Ukraine war, then blamed civil servants, then blamed all successive governments(how disrespectful) then blamed drought and yet the decline started even before drought after they themselves took over, and now they are blaming hate and where they were born. Start working, stop wasting time, you do not have time!
Spot on Eliphas, tell it as it is
Yes, they are all responsible
You not listening to the cries of the people yet you want mp’s to conform
I say enjoy your last few months
When did this chap obtain a law degree? In the article it’s indicated that he only passed the O levels last year. What a fraud he is, this grade seven minibus conductor.
Yaba! It’s sad indeed
