GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES TIGHT SECURITY MEASURES AHEAD OF CONCOURT RULING IN ECL’S ELIGIBILITY CASE TOMMOROW
By Chileshe Mwango
Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security, Jack Mwiimbu has advised members of the public to stay away from the courts, ahead of the Constitutional Court ruling on the eligibility case involving former President Edgar Lungu tomorrow.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka today, Mr. Mwiimbu has announced a series of security measures that have been put in place, including the closure of selected roads in the city.
Mr. Mwiimbu says the measures have been instituted following recent incidences where some political cadres caused havoc when the case came before the court.
He says it will be imprudent if the said measures are not taken as intelligence information indicates that some people are organizing themselves to be unruly after the ruling is made in an effort to emulate the violence going on in Kenya.
The Home Affairs and Internal Security Minister says the government expects police to also act professionally as they discharge their duties tomorrow and never repeat the mistakes made in the past where innocent members of the public lost their lives.

Mwiimbu, you have been exposed in the Jay Jay case. Best you can do is to resign.
Whats the exposure tell us
No sense of shame! These people are what they are! They’re our cross to bear!!!
Observer as usual you have posted immaterial comment with no value except PF venomous bitterness of 2021 election defeat.
Edgar Lungu stood twice in elections and concurrently sworn in twice. If he was said he didn’t finish two terms, then the first Sata’s tenure after his death, we were not supposed to go for by-elections but put him without wasting tax player’s money
Outcome is known when you are dealing with mafias.
Bamusonda, you pfools decide to use the idiot JJ in the stupid abduction until ayamba ukunya amatumbo, elo you still think your stupid passing the blame will work? Veosek mwe mbwamwe!!!
Edgar lungu is not standing unless the court is made
Musonda yes just as it was known when your PF tribal idiot Dan Pule took the same matter to Court. Your PF Kelenka President threatened Judges in Solwezi before Judgement was even delivered. Stop entertaining Chicken memory in your head PF loser iwe.
hh fears ediger lungu,he wants to block lungu from participating in 2026 elections,con court ruled aready that ecl is eligible but they have gone back to the same con court,we know what they did to bowman lusambo for kabush by election despite the court ruling the lusambo is eligible.
So HH is the Courts, HH is Parliament? What a shallow perception.
Trying picking a civics book and reading it sometimes….just the simple concept of separation of powers and the arms of government please. You go to school and get PhDs but still can not objectively reason.
Edgar Lungu had already “sworn in” twice, so why all this fuss! Even at his third attempt which he lost by 1 million votes, Edgar Lungu knew he was not eligible but threatened Concourt judges to give him a third chance.
That was not only undemocratic, but unconstitutional. We are not a Banana Republic so that wrong will be corrected tomorrow. Let the same court and it’s judges that messed up eat their vomit.
Those judges, especially Mulonda, Munden Mulenga and Anne Sitali dont even deserve to be justices in the same court. In proper democracies, they would have been forced to resign or stand down. They are a total let down.
The same idyots are the ones that dubiously refused to hear the presidential election appeal. We have not forgotten; something “will have to give” as the English say.
True. Like the judges were given brandy new cruisers to say he only stood once. How despicable
To be honest, let justice prevail. That man never understood the law and always distorted it to his advantage. Abrogation of the constitution is treasonable, but those crooked Men put in a close to protect the wrongs of the president while holding office.If those judges were threatened then, let there be the freedom for them to do the right thing.
Once God has revealed the devil you are dealing with, do not argue because what might come back is worse than what Hitler might have done back then. The gassing was enough evidence, ritual killings were rampant then, parte after parte nendalama shankongole, ala bane, let us not emulate Judas Iscariot by selling our peace by accepting dirty money which will only buy us back the trouble we went through.
If the same court allowed him to stand and as we have been told that , a Tonga Sue Edgar in the constitutional court and they rule against Edgar as we have reliable evidence and source .
The court must understand that , if they rule against Edgar, it means the 2021 election was invalid and they have to call for fresh elections.
Why is Jackie warning people as they have the right to go to courts as they are public buildings
At the rate the Zambezi region regime is doing things , peace can not be guaranteed
The executive has obviously finished writing the verdict and court justices are now getting acquainted with it so they can properly read it 2moro.
