State Counsel Musa Mwenye, the former Attorney General, wrote:
It has been a shameful two weeks for lawyers.
Admittedly, recent headlines have been less than complimentary to our profession. That said, law is still a noble profession. We have over 1000 practicing lawyers in Zambia and the recent reports are not a reflection of the legal profession as a whole.
The vast majority of lawyers are honourable people who conduct their work with honour and dignity. I admit however that we have some work to do on a small fraction of our colleagues.
