CONCOURT SET TO HEAR AND DETERMINE MY PETITION AGAINST JCC ON WEDNESDAY
======================
I have just received notice from the Constitutional Court indicating that the court has set 2nd October, 2024 at 09.00hrs as the date and time to hear and determine my petition in which I have challenged the decision by President Hakainde Hichilema to suspend three Concourt Judges.
The suspension by President Hakainde was made following the recommendation of the Judicial Complaints Commission (JCC).
The judges have been suspended based on my case before the JCC that was already determined in 2017.
In the main, my argument is that Article 236 of the Constitution does not confer JCC with the power to review its decisions. Therefore, the act by JCC to review my case and on that basis recommend to the President to suspend the judges is unconstitutional, illegal, null and void.

You can continue challenging the President’s decision but don’t forget that you are just delaying things to the advantage of the State and to the disadvantage of Lungu. The case can even drag on even up to 2031, there is no problem for the State
Chill, Mr Peter Sinkamba. Social media is not arbiter of litigation. You will have your day in Court.
This suggests that Mr. Sinkamba has had an opportunity to read the report submitted to the President by JCC. The question he should be prepared to answer is how he obtained the report, which I suspect is confidential and possibly a classified document.
