SACKED CONCOURT JUDGES WERE NOT QUALIFIED – JCC
THE Judicial Complaints Commission (JCC) has submitted to the court that the dismissal of three Constitutional Court judges was based on evidence that they were not qualified to hold the office of judge.
According to Brian Gombwa, JCC’s acting secretary, the dismissal of Judge Annie Sitali, Mungeni Mulenga, and Palan Mulonda was not based on their interpretation of the constitution in the 2016 presidential election petition, as previously asserted.

If they were not qualified then the appointing authority should be punished too…
Could it be the reason why we have this back and forth on the eligibility case of ECL? The case may have been wrongly decided owing to lack of requisite skill and competency on the part of the judges. And then again how were they in the first place appointed judges? No wonder we are in this situation of having to revisit almost all terrible decisions of the past .
I BELIEVE, LAZ, SHUSHU, JUSTICE MINISTRY AND PARLIAMENT RECOMMENDED AND RATIFIED THEIR NAMES. SO WHO IS TO BLAME? IS IT THEIR FAULT:
Op would have not look at their ability to do the job. They tend to look at whether a person has a criminal background or embarassing information that may come up. Parliament acts on the recommendation of Judicary Service Commission the body that tends to do the administrative aspect of hiring, firing. The question is who exactly recommend the names of people in the legal fraternity to say the JSC or do people apply? The former taking us back to an assertion made by Sanga. Historically how did our colonial masters to it or the British do it. Our systems stem from theirs?
The JCC is an arm of the UPND outfit, like all other institutions of governance. Their assertion is therefore not a surprise at all.
You have heard that they were not qualified you are busy bringing in something else…. ubupuba atase
Musonda is trying to exorcise you from Simuuwe stupidity!!!
@Observer again making irrational false statements. The JCC was initiated or created in the last Constitutional amendment. Who created that constitution? When did state bodies become party creations? Lets be serious in the manner we mislead.
Liars. From misconduct to qualifications.
