THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has been challenged to publish the grounds on which the association wanted the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to rely on in appealing against the judgment involving former president Frederick Chiluba.
Former Patriotic Front (PF) secretary general Edward Mumbi has also challenged the association to publish the entire judgment so that members of the public can read and make informed decisions on the acquittal of the former Head of State.
In a letter to LAZ president Musa Mwenye dated May 11, 2011 concerning his statement of May 10, Mr Mumbi said it was surprising that almost two years after the judgment was passed, the association had failed to publish the said judgment from which calls for the resignation of Chalwe Mchenga had emanated.
“Publishing the judgment would have greatly assisted the public make informed decisions on the case of Dr Chiluba.
“In fact, the failure by LAZ to publish the judgment in the case of Dr Chiluba is what has led to unjustified and misguided attacks on Mr Mchenga, magistrate Jones Chinyama and the judiciary,” he said.
Mr Mumbi said LAZ was perceived to be in the forefront of attempting to destroy the credibility of the judiciary and the justice system in Zambia.
“In order to restore the credibility of LAZ and show that the association believes in fairness and justice, I challenge you as LAZ president to ensure the entire judgment in the Chiluba case is published for people to make informed decisions on the acquittal of Dr Chiluba and the reasons or grounds which LAZ expected that the DPP should have relied on in appealing the judgment are published immediately before issuing any further misleading statements,” Mr Mumbi wrote.
He also challenged Mr Mwenye and LAZ to behave differently from uninformed civil society organisations by ensuring it published judgments in which the public may have interest so members of the public could read on their own and appreciate the contents.

Mumbo and his politics of boot licking! Get a job f’o’ol!
The entire Jones Chinyama handwritten judgment in the Chiluba case has been in the public domain since it was passed, period. If Mumbi has not dseen it, then he has to be the “only strnager in Jerusalem”. Further, the LAZ and notable Zambian lawyers such as Roger Chongwe and Sondashi have given numerous very valid grounds the DPP should have relied on in appealing the flawed judgment. It also does not come as a surprise that Mumbi does not see the relationship between the promotions of the likes of Chinyama and Phillip Musonda and their shameful promotions by Kanitundila. Get real you fool, get yourself a job.
He is not yet international Boot Licker
