LAZ DRAMA UNFOLDS IN PARLIAMENT AS LUNGISANI ZULU’S THEATRICS FALL FLAT BEFORE SELECT COMMITTEE
A dramatic scene erupted at Parliament when the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ), led by its President Lungisani Zulu, appeared before the Select Committee tasked with receiving public submissions on Constitution Amendment Bill No. 7. But instead of engaging in the expected legal discourse, Zulu—flanked by OASIS Forum Chairperson Beauty Katebe—seemed more interested in putting on a spectacle than presenting substantive oral submissions.
In a moment that felt more like political theater than civic engagement, Zulu refused to deliver LAZ’s oral submission, apparently hoping to stage a grand public showdown for the cameras. However, Committee Chairman and Nalolo MP, Hon. Imanga Wamunyima Jr., swiftly shut down the theatrics. Firm and unmoved, he reminded Zulu that the Committee was not a stage for dramatics but a constitutional platform for serious contributions.
With the Committee refusing to indulge the stunt, Zulu and his delegation were promptly dismissed—bringing an abrupt and unceremonious end to what was clearly meant to be a headline-grabbing performance.
This President of LAZ is displaying his arrogance for cheap publicity. Didnt he know what submissions were expected to the Parliament select committee before going before this committee?? Since the case of allegations of procedural challenges is already before the courts, this LAZ president could have waited for the court decisions. LAZ cant go to a parliament select committee and change the roles of this select committee!! Cheap arrogance!!
Is Beauty Katebe a member of LAZ? Or is Oasis Forum a department of LAZ? Cheap arrogance displayed by LAZ has done unrepairable damage to once admirable institution. Anyway, parliament is the final authority in such matters
Yes, by the way! What was Beauty Katebe doing in a LAZ delegation? And after watching the video, we saw that the Committee promptly noticed and told her to seat somewhere else. And that the Oasis Forum was at liberty to come and present their submissions.
Truth be told, this is not LAZ, it is masked PF!
Zulu shows us what it means to be led by an immature person. Just brought Law Association of Zambia a professional body into distain.
