Judge Chikopa Still In Zambia

Chikopa Still In Zambia

PARLIAMENT heard yesterday that Malawian Judge Lovemore Chikopa who was invited by Government to chair a tribunal instituted by President Michael Sata to probe three judges is still in Zambia.

In 2012, President Sata appointed Judge Chikopa to chair a tribunal to probe three Judges namely, Charles Kajimanga, Nigel Mutuna and Philip Musonda.

Vice-President Guy Scott told the House that Judge Chikopa was in the country and that the tribunal was on chaired by the Malawian Judge.

“Mr Speaker, Judge Chikopa is around and the tribunal is on,” he said. He was responding to Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) Vubwi Member of Parliament (MP) Eustarkio Kazonga who wanted to know the whereabouts of Judge Chikopa following his appointment to chair the tribunal.

President Sata on April 30 suspended Justices Musonda, Kajimanga and Mutuna and appointed a tribunal headed by Justice Chikopa of the Malawi High Court to investigate the alleged misbehavior of the three Judges.

But two of the judges, Mutuna and Kajimanga challenged Mr Sata’s decision in the Lusaka High Court where Judge Fulgeance Chisanga granted them an injunction to prevent the tribunal from sitting to hear their alleged impropriety pending the full determination of the matter by the High Court.

Attorney General Mumba Malila, however, appealed to the Supreme Court saying the State was not satisfied with the ruling of the High Court.

This is directed to Mr Sata. Please answer me, why is this man chikopa eating free money that belongs to poor zambians while some of us are breaking our backs working for peanuts just to feed our families. Is this why we voted for you. Mr Sata if you do not chase this Judge you will not see my vote in 2016.

IF HIS STAY WILL SIGNAL THE BEGINNING OF GETTING RID OF CORRUPTION IN THE JUDICIARY THEN HIS STAY IS WELCOME BECAUSE CORRUPTION IN THE JUDICIARY MEANS UNFAIR JUSTICE FAVOURING THE RICH ONLY

what we must understand is that our judiciary needs to be cleaned.it does not require one to commit an offence to see how rotten this system is.it is an open secret.
we need a judicial system which inspires everyone ,so what president sata did is quiet commendable.it is unfortunate some thought otherwise.
same people who called for the overhaul of the judiciary during banda’s reign have seen the same judiciary to ok today.how shamefull it is to have unreasonable politicians around.
fellow zambians its we started calling a spade a spade.
