INJUSTICE; JAILING POLITICAL OPPONENTS ABUSING A REPEALED LAW
A person cannot be jailed for a repealed law because once a law is repealed, it is no longer in effect and has no legal force.
However, if you committed a crime while a law was active and were convicted, that conviction stands even if the law is later repealed.
At the time of the repeal, Nakacinda was NOT convicted.
Infact the DPP discontinued the cases regarding defamation of the President following the repeal of the law.
For future offenses: You cannot be charged or jailed for an act that occurred after the law was officially repealed.
Hichilema has shifted cases of those defaming him to new cyber laws that are acting as the sane as criminal defamation of the President.
Mrs. Justice Anne Mary Kachenga Malata Ononuju until recentlty was the Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE).
She has jailed PF Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda and has issued a bench warrant as he was not in court.
Nakacinda was appearing in another matter at the Magistrate Court.
Ononuju is among the new batch of judges appointed by President Hakainde Hichilema.
A fugitive dishing out an opinion on the jailing of a career liar ? Your persistent demonisation of HH is expected and does not move anyone.
Bwana Muamba, yowa time to go to prison will not expire. Those watrrants for your arrest have no expiry date. No matter how long you run away from the long arm of the Zambian law. Just attend to your court matters instead of always playing the muyayaya victim. Trying to squeeze public sympathy as a fugitive and a thief who stole ZANACO cash when you worked there as a teller is an exercise is futility.
Can the opposition for a change engage in meaningful checks and balances not blatant lies.
Mr. Nakachinda is also on record as having said Mr. Lungu was poisoned when he was interviewed in South Africa at the beginning of the Lungu burial saga.
Politicians need to be held accountable. They are not above the law just because they are politicians.
