CHIEF JUSTICE ACCIDENT MOST UNFORTUNATE BUT A WAKE CALL
MBS31.08.2024
I am prayerful and optimistic the Chief Justice CJ Dr Mumba Malila will recover fully soonest from the road accident he encounter this evening in Lusaka. He is about one of the most objective and non partisan CJs that Zambia has ever had.
Government has 3 arms of government namely the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. They all independent of each other and their roles lie parallel but all intersect where needed most by all citizens first their day to day livelihood harmony and wellbeing.
Tonight accident is therefore a wake up call to re-look at the Judirary and indeed Legislature safety on and off the roads in and outside Lusaka or Zambia.
The traffic safety of the Head of the Executive and Republican President is visibly very well organised and all motorists have to stop aside whenever encounter their convoy. Very good. Not so much for th Chief Justice and the Speaker. I see their 2 vehicles maximum security convoy to process them through the traffic off Bonaventure area where I live aswell. Their sweeper vehicles struggle through the morning and evening traffic and half the time have to use opposite late causing even bigger congestion and risks.
As happened in 1992 during the then Vice President Levy P. Mwanawasa accident on the airport road where the driver died and him badly injured, a Commision of Inquiry was instituted. Amongst their recommendation is what we see today that the officer of the Vice President has a much bigger security force convoy. Front line Motorbikes and several security vehicles surround the Veep motorcade.
As a result of not listening or refusing to independent results or research fingers, the Vice President of Zambia has been involved in traffic accident since the LPM event in 2992. This is as result of good recommendations now implement we from the Commision of. Inquiry that was instituted by President FTJ.
I therefore apeal to His Excellency Mr President Hakainde Hichilema to set up a Commision of Inquiry to investigate circumstances, causes and remedial recommendations embedded in the CJ unfortunate accident last night in Lusaka.
Officers of the President, Chief Justice and the Speaker have to be protected 100% from all harm and risks be it when at their residents, office and as in this case when in transit be it on the road or air transportation.

For sure this is really a good observation and wise words coming from a wise leader, President Miles Sampa – PF party president.
While those who want to be following civil servants in their homes are quiet since for them, what is always in their mind is violence and bloodshed – a repeat of their past record and history of their followers who used to threaten and burn government buildings including the workers.
We wish our Zambian Chief Justice a quick recovery in the great name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let the enemy and it’s instigators be brought to book.
It was sheer indiscipline by one motorist who behind the steering wheel of the BMW car.
If he has survived the accident, I hope he is banned from driving on public roads for life.
Sampa why the buttering? Do you think that makes you the wiser one?
Start with your constitutents who stoned a fire truck. What are doing about sentisation?
Want to speak about an issue in Chilanga Constitutency yet Matero has its own issues. Politiking instead of working. Dont think the CJ is aware that you are just “buttering” in you vain and empty words.
Ati “He is about one of the most objective and non partisan CJs that Zambia has ever had.”
So you denegrate the other Chief Justices?
A stupid call for sheer waste of resources. And yet you have primary schools in Lusaka with non waterborne toilets, you’re without shame still calling for the wastage of money.
This is a good observation Miles. Life is important and precious.
