Suspended ConCourt judges take HH to court
The three suspended Constitutional Court judges have filed a notice of application for leave to apply for Judicial Review which seeks to quash the decision of President Hakainde Hichilema to suspend them from office for alleged professional misconduct.
The three include Justice Annie Mwewa Sitali, Justice Mugeni Siwale Mulenga and Justice Palan Mulonda
The trio who have cited the Attorney General as the respondent also want an order that the proceedings by the Judicial Complaints Commission (JCC) that were to be held on September 30, 2024 be stayed until further order of the court.
The judges also want an order that the proceedings before the JCC were llegal, a nullity and void on grounds of re judicata/ estoppel.
According to an application for Judicial Review, the three are seeking an order for the purpose of quashing the decision of the JCC made on September 23, 2024 to reopen and hear a matter relating to the handling of the petition between Hakainde Hichilema and another vs Edgar Lungu and others.
This is the right course of action to take.
The only problem is that the judges hearing this case might all come from the same region he comes from. He made sure he put his own people in key judiciary positions to save to dodgy behind.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Trying to stop a case which they allowed to be heard or reopened themselves because it came with new submissions that were not part of earlier submissions.What is the impression now being given.These court battles are against development of the country.One person with high appetite for ballot appearance is making the nation to dance to his tune.Zambia today for us.
