LUSAKA HIGH COURT JUDGE, VINCENT SILOKA DISMISSES PF CASE
Lusaka-Friday, 24th May 2024
Lusaka High Court Judge, Hon. Vincent Sililo Siloka has dismissed the case in which Patriotic Front Presidential Candidates challenged the illegal Extra-Ordinary General Conference held by expelled Matero MP, Miles Bwalya Sampa and his purported election as President.
Judge Siloka ruled that he has dismissed on the matter of multiplicity of cases.
Hon. Mutotwe Kafwaya, Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba, Mr. Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, Dr. Chishimba Kambwili, Mr. Greyford Monde, Hon.Chitalu Chilufya, and Hon. Brian Mundubile had petitioned the High Court for the court to determine the legality of the ExtraOrdinary General Conference held by Miles Sampa and UPND Members on 24th October 2023, purporting that the meeting of the Patriotic Front had elected him as PF President.
And during this case, a meeting was held between parties at which the matter of multiplicity of cases was resolved.
The Patriotic Front proceeded to drop the cases before Judge Situmbeko Chocho and in the Court of Appeals.
At the Press Conference held this morning, Patriotic Front Vice President, Hon. Given Lubinda says the Party will appeal against this ruling as the main matter has not been heard and there were no multiplicity of cases as ruled by the Judge.
He also expressed surprise that Judge Siloka dismissed the case based on a preliminary matter.
Imingalato yonse iyii ikapwa nomba line! Surely, is multiplicity of cases a reason for throwing out an important court case that hinges on abrogation of the Zambian constitution! People who think they are currently very clever will look very foolish, when things turn against them in two years time. It will not end on individuals being prosecuted, it will go as far as some political parties being de-registered. Some people think they can trample the national constitution just like! Then why is the constitution there in the first place. It’s to protect our hard fought for democracy!
The judge is a programmed automaton!!
The judge is dull and programmed ,in the first place he asked the petitioners to withdraw some calls from other courts and at the end he mentioned multiplicities
Hakainde’s Judiciary….and his goal keepers.
Hon Chocho Situmbeko will also not make any Ruling… from October,2023 to date..and Judge Mulife too..and the other judge , Timothy suspended . No one even knows where the case files are!
Meanwhile these people are being paid from the tax I pay! And they are drinking tea in their chambers, thinking am a fool.. when am the one who pays them..
Morality, Principles, Professionalism just mere words for the goal keepers…Where is the conscience for these men and women?? Zambia to the dustbin.
