John Sangwa SC Canes President Hichilema
..you have passed an illegal Statutory Instrument no.24 of 2025 on judges.
The Constitutional Court gave direction.
On 31 July 2023, the Constitutional Court delivered judgment in this cause and held that:
i)Emoluments-setting authority: The power to determine judges` emoluments rests
exclusively with the Emoluments Commission, acting on the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission, pursuant to Articles 122(3), 123(1) and 264 of the Constitution.
ii) Supersession of presidential SI powers: The President’s powers under sections 3 and 12 of the Judges (Conditions of Service) Act to prescribe emoluments by statutory instrument.
were overridden by the Emoluments Commission Act, 2022, and Parliament was
directed to amend the Act accordingly (paras J89-J100)
3. Ongoing oversight: The Minister of Finance was ordered to submit six-monthly reports to
Parliament on progress toward full constitutional compliance.
Soar grapes. This man is now becoming irrelevant. Is it because he is BBC, and just studied ancient law? Probably when he graduated from the ancient school of law at that time he was almost the only one in the vicinity, and every considered high in high pro pre! But he should now realize that things have changed with so many people graduating from modern law schools with computerized system. And it looks this ancient lawyer is failing to fit in well. He expects to command everyone to dance to his tunes, but he is failing. He hoped to get the highest job in the judiciary, but no one could get him for that because things have changed. This time he thinks he is the greatest opposition to HH and the UPND, with a hope downplaying HH and finally become a presidential Challenger with an ultimate goal of becoming the republican president. But the citizenry can’t allow him at all. HH at the moment means well to the majority. HH is currently a blessing to our nation. They can’t make a mistake to an epoch of being ruled by crooked buffoons. The buffoons are anti good manoeuvres being made by HH. For example, Bill 7, particularly splitting of some vast and highly populated constituencies is quite a good move, but the buffoons are busy teaming up against it.
Another useless lawyer posing as an intelligent person. The results of overrating one’ s self.
Mr Sangwa sir, you should have been more strategic if you are aiming for the highest office in the land. So far you are at the level of Shushuwa Shushuwa whoever he is. You are living in your own world far detached from our own to the extent that whatever you say does not make sense and resonate with anyone.
Will study the Constitutional Court Ruling, and compare it with what Mr Hakainde Hichilema has done with his statutory Instrument.
But one thing is Clear, if State Counsel John Sangwa raises a point, then his concerns are worth looking at.
The Man is right,we need such people in society!!!!
Where is the attorney general? just drawing salaries and allowances?
