LAZ MEMBERS PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
SOME members of the Law Association of Zambia have formally requested the association’s Council to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
The petitioners, Gary Davies Chibangula, Mungole Kwalela, and Eric Sakala say the EGM should address two key issues:
The continued affiliation of LAZ with the OASIS Forum, which they argue has openly engaged in partisan politics and advocated for regime change ahead of the 2026 general elections.
The LAZ President’s handling of the Constitution Amendment process, particularly the issuance of public statements without broad consultation of the membership.
According to the petition, the EGM will be convened pursuant to Section 8(3) of the Law Association of Zambia (General Rules) 1996. The members have further requested that the motion be debated and voted on by poll, in line with Section 8(16) of the same rules.

Well done. This is what was needed to be done.
This was foreseeable and expected. An organisation which runs under a set of rules under their constitution can not be used to rubber stamp personal aspirations.
Logically speaking all the different members within the organisation are free to express their personal political interests. Therefore to suggest that a leader speaks for all the members is false. Unless of course it is won on a vote within the processes in each organisation.
We expect to see more of these organisational being challenged to explain who actually gave them the mandate to speak on behalf of all their members with out consultations.
Very good this tribalism lungisani kumbuyo should be removed as laz president let him join politics and pf to be specific, because that is where his blood belongs
