SUSPENSION OF JUDGES ERODES SECURITY OF TENURE
Citizens First President Harry Kalaba says the suspension of Lusaka High Court Judge Timothy Katenekwa by President Hakainde Hichilema is in bad taste especially that he was handling the case involving the PF leadership wrangles.
President Hichilema acting on recommendations in the report presented to him by the judicial Complaints Commission suspended Judge Timothy Katenekwa from the office of the judge of the high court of Zambia with immediate effect.
But Mr. Kalaba says it is worrying that the judiciary has not been spared from partisan politics.
He says there is need for the judiciary to be independent to avoid questionable suspensions of Judges.
When the PF and other opposition object so much about someone fired just know that the person was of use to them.
Kalaba very useless politicians
Kalaba is a dimwit, suspension of erring judges is within the constitutional mandate of the President. His former president MCS , MHSRIP suspended the same judge he is defending.
Judiciary must be sbov5e board but when there is a complaint lodged to the JCC and there is reason to believe the judge must be suspended while investigations ate ongoing then why should Kalaba be worried?

What is worrying is that this is the second time this Judge has been suspended from office by a head of state. The case of Sampa that he was handling took so long to deal with resulting in Lubinda and Chilangwa continuing ti act as though their was no injunction restraining them from performing their duties. This Judge, in my view and am not a lawyer, has contributed to the confusion going on in PF hierarchy.
Jidges need to be objective and impartial. Statements like this is atypical from a Pena driven way of thinking. Has this man read the JCC that formed the basis of HH’s decision? The judicary has for a long time been used to vindicate criminals. Thanks you for this wind of change that we pray will sweep the coridors clean of posers like this clown.
Ba Kalaba think twice before you speak. What a useless and unfound statement. The recent bill is there for you to get infoemation before you speak…useless man ati opppsition
