Hands off Judiciary – Bishop Mpundu
EMERITUS Archbishop Tresphore Mpundu has appealed to President Hakainde Hichilema to ensure that Judges should operate independently, and has advised the head of State not to yield to the temptation of using the Judiciary to prevent former President Lungu from challenging him for the presidency in 2026.
Archbishop Mpundu says the suspension of three Constitutional Court Judges by President Hichilema in a contentious conflict of interest matter that could be interpreted as a dictatorial trait, which Zambians should resist.
Does it mean that judges and magistrates are above the law because they are infallible. I don’t agree with the Archbishop and I find his position to be dangerous to society and nation. More should be demanded from the Judges because more expected of them.
The problem is that Hakainde has a dodgy record with his appointments. That is why we are resisted his dodgy tinkering of judiciary. It is an exercise designed for his own selfish gains.
So yes, HANDS OFF OUR JUDICIARY.
Vote very wisely in 2026.
A compromised judiciary is of no good to the nation.
Someone is just missing brown envelopes, hence the misleading advice not worth taking.
This old chap has become even more useless these days. Nobody takes him seriously after those shenanigans with Brebnar Changala!
Those Judges are corrupt to the core and they shouldn’t be in our Judiciary because they have contaminated it already. Nobody respects Concourt anymore because of their misbehaviour.
As minority Judges, the overruled the majority and agreed position in 2016 and refused to hear appeal. Did Mpundu know that?
In 2021, the same foolish, tainted and shameless judges allowed Edgar Lungu to contest elections contrary to the constitution. Doesnt Mpundu know that surely?
I wouldn’t want any case to heard and determined by such foolish judges. There’s no point of wasting time before such biased judges. They’re all idyots and cant wait to see what they will be doing next year.
Can the Archbishop explain what is expected of the President upon receiving recommendations from the Judicial Complaints Commission.
Is the Archbishop aware of what the constitution provides in this regard?
Does the Archbishop expect the President to break the law by ignoring constitutional provisions in this regard?
This old fossil should be recalled to Rome. He is supposed to bring people together not turn into a political cadre for one person.
You can mention the name of Jesus any more because you know that, the name of Jesus gives you peanuts and you have resorted to the name of ecl for Kasaka, so man of ecl, ecl will not be on the ballot
Bishop stick to issues that you understand. The bible. JCC is yet to hear the defence of the Judges and it recommended to the President, that these Judges be suspended. The President did NOT instigate nor intiate the process or the compliant.
As a man of the cloth, its important to be objective.
If there any flaws in the process. Its the constitution that is flawed, in process (which I doubt) but the structure of the Judicary and its independence which is suseptible to abuse.
