Court Throws Out President Sata Health Case

The Lusaka High Court has refused to grant leave for judicial review to Civil Rights activist Brebner Changala in the matter he is asking the court to constitute a medical board to examine the health of President Michael Sata.
High Court Judge-in-charge, Isaac Chali said the application by Mr Changala lacked merit and should be dismissed on grounds that it was frivolous and vexatious.
In dismissing the application yesterday in chambers, Mr Justice Chali said Mr Changala had failed to provide sufficient interest in the matter as a private citizen trying to champion the matter in the courts of law.
Mr Justice Chali, in his ruling, further discredited the evidence provided by Mr Changala, saying he was also not sure as to whether or not Cabinet did table the motion on the health of the President.
“I have studied the evidence on record and I must say that this application is accordingly dismissed as it is frivolous, vexatious and hopeless, it does not require further inquiry at the substantive inquiry,” Mr Justice Chali said.
This was in a matter in which Mr Changala had asked the high court to commence judicial review in the High Court to compel Government to constitute a medical board to examine the physical and mental status of President Michael Sata early this week.

we have to be careful the way we try to correct certain things. How many zambians are sick and not subjected to such embarsments or retired on medical grounds?

Some pipo have made serious mistakes and punished in efforts to correct other pipo’s mistakes. God will never give some one leadership of zambia who does not know how to love and forgive

Zambia is in chaos. The President has refused to resign and to relinquish power to pave the way for new electronisch. Unelected demagogisch characters have takenover power. To correct this, constitutional institutions must move in to stabilize the country and restore democracy and call for new elections. We have seen this now werking in countries like Thailand. It is impossible to bring dictators to democratic term without using force. This must happen now, before the lunaticists luchembe mwambas move in to try to fill in the vacuüm.

The good news is neither UPND nor MMD will form the next government!
A New Movement of eminent senior and young selfless Zambian citizens of good standing from all corners of Zambia is already gathering momentum to re-unify this fractured nation! No more time for Micky Mouse politics!
What this nation needs now is healing and Restoration!
We are aware that splinter parties will emerge from PF but these will just be for selfish interests!
Watch this space!
