Judge Musonda Fears For His Life
He has accused Director of Public Prosecutions Mutembo Nchito of conspiring with the Zambia Security Intelligence Services against him.
According to a lette
r dated 9th May,2012 by Justice Minister Sebastian Zulu to President Sata, concerning Justice Musonda’s request for early retirement released to QFM today by State house, Justice Musonda complained that the DPP has conspired with the Intelligence to fabricate evidence against him in order to destroy him.
In his letter, Mr Zulu who met Justice Musonda at ministry of Justice explains that the suspended Judge cited the case of an article on the front page of the Daily Mail of Tuesday May 8th, 2012 entitled “Banned Judge Visits Mohan”
Judge Musonda during the meeting with the Minister denied ever visiting Lusaka Central Prison to see Mohan and further denied knowing him.
The Judge further told the Minister that they should not be surprised if he takes refugee in some Embassy such as the American Embassy for fear of his life.
He further informed Mr Zulu that he has transferred monies from his personal account to his wife’s and has written a note to his family that if he dies they should know what has led to his death.
And Judge Musonda has requested President Sata for early retirement.
In a letter dated 8th May,2012 to President Sata, Judge Musonda requested the President to consider retiring him in national interest.
He stated in the letter that he has served the Judiciary for 31 years, having joined on 13th August,1981.
He thanked President Sata for allowing him to serve the country at the high judicial office of Supreme Court Judge.
But President Sata in a statement released to QFM News by his special Assistant for Press and Public Relations George Chellah has rejected Judge Musonda’s request for early retirement, stating that he would only consider the request after the tribunal has sat.
President Sata says he has set up the tribunal as distinctly approved by the constitution of Zambia and that he will not circumvent the process.
He has further requested those interested in the matter to allow the tribunal to sit and uphold the due process of the law before resorting to wild media speculations.
President Sata says he has decided to make public Judge Musonda’s letter of request for early retirement in order to insulate the general public from lies and distortions being permeated by what he describes as some irresponsible media houses with strange agenda.
He states that his principal obligation is to be guardian of public interest and that it is therefore his duty to correct falsehoods, twists and misrepresentations of facts by certain deceitful elements and authors of disorder within political circles and beyond.
Mr Sata says his government is committed to follow the due process of the law and that no amount of sabre rattling will stop their national agenda of bringing transparency and accountability in all arms of governance.

Consultant Doctors who make life saving decisions when you are so sick get 12 million kwacha and a judge makes 75 M when they leave Zambia then you complain. You will find me when you come here for treatment

Why did you have to wait for the axe, if you were innocent. Quickly find a hiding place to conceal your dirty morals.
