A FLASH BACK……HOW PF THUGS STOPPED THE UPND PRESIDENTIAL PETITION 2016
In case you have forgotten, this picture is from the 2016 presidential petition. The last day of the petition hearing was on a Friday. We left the courts around 02:00 AM after HH stood in the dock to represent himself. Asking for justice and not sympathy. Citing the constitution of Zambia, the concourt made a ruling that the presidential petition be heard the following week giving the UPND Monday and Tuesday to present all their evidence and Wednesday-Thursday for the respondent and Friday for judgment.
This message angered PF and they deployed these cadres and leaders in the photo who camped at Concourt on Saturday into Monday morning. Their message was that, they will beat any judge on Monday who would entertain HH’s petition. And for fear of being beaten judges obliged to not hear the petition.
On Monday UPND went to court only to be told that the case has been closed to date. This is how the 2016 presidential petition ended. Justice was decided by these thugs in the photo and today it is our very own learned judges whom we expect to properly guide the nation owing to the fact that they are operating freely.
I thought of reminding you all who have forgotten where we are coming from as a nation. This behaviour did not bother anybody in PF not even Kanganja sent his police to arrest these thugs and today you Emmanuel Mwamba wants Zambians to praise Mr. Lungu for this mess.
The president by then Edgar Lungu never condemned this. These are activities happening behind the curtains by PF now and us forgetting this history is very dangerous.
Mr. Lungu threatened the judges and state house and PF members. When I reminded Mr. Lungu of this illegality last year he unleashed police on me.
Sikaile C Sikaile
3 years gone failures still talking about PF. Theoretically that’s how shallow minded individuals are categorised. IT’S SADDENING to have all our leaders being so shallow to be discussing on PF every time they fail to round their empty heads on economic hardships.
Those who forget the past are bound to repeat it. Only a bird brain can forget what we endured under PF. The jews still talk about the holocaust and they ensured that those responsible were hunted down and held to account, even fifty years after the genocide.
PF should never, never, never be allowed any peace for the damage they wreaked on the nation, the effects of which are still with us today.
They must be constantly reminded of their criminality. Just think of it, one individual surrendering USD24MILLION to the State!! How much did the big fish syphon from the national coffers? No wonder he made sure that public disclosure of assets and liabilities for presidential candidates was quashed before the August 2021 elections.
History makes us to make informed decisions for the future.
Voting back Chagwa and bring back this cadrisim? Nay!
Judges should do their jobs properly now. There is no interference. Let us see the fact track coury swing into it fast with the corruption cases. Also there is no lesson to be learned for looters the country. This pay back to the state and you are free nonsense is wrong. Grab property yes but they need to serve time too. PF to return to power NO NO NO
We had a bunch of criminals, and Lucifer’s in PF government please keep on reminding us because Zambians we have got shot memories like for chicken.No more PF criminals.
