WHAT A NEGATIVE CONCOURT JUDGEMENT MEANS?
In few days to come the constitution court will be hearing the petition challenging Lungu’s eligibility in the August elections.This is one of the most interesting case that will draw the line between Zambians, PF and public institutions. This case will also speak out on the character of concourt judges. In 2016 we saw part A of concourt judges and this is yet another time for us to finally rate these judges and determine whether they are fighting for their families or the nation.
The last few days we have witnessed how PF thugs are ambushing opposition members and burning of campaign materials for the opposition yet Edgar Lungu is not bothered about it to stop them, anyway, state house manages these thugs so we shouldn’t expect much from Lungu just like it was in the Honeybee, gassing, tribalism, corruption and other scandals.The arrogance from Mr Lungu only mean three things that’s if the concourt throws out the petition.If the Concourt joyfully throws out the current petition, we will be faced with three deadly prospects as a country charges some experts and concerned citizens:
1). Violence. The prospects of the sitting powers winning by hook and by crook are very high. in which case they will have to use optimum force to repress protests for them to achieve this illegality. It is not secret anymore that the intelligence unit have told president Edgar Lungu what is obtaining on the ground. This is why there’s a lot of panic and attempts to block the opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema from campaigning. He knows the outcome of the August elections.
2). One party state will come back with massive force as PF cadres have been instructed to beat opposition members even kill as long as they secure victory for Mr Lungu no one willgo to prison intelligence officers warned.
3). We may end up with a Life President. There are heavily vested interests, in the form of filthy rich foreigners and some locals, who need the sitting one in power, who will do anything to preserve their control of the policy and the economy. We have been observing Mr Lungu’s political remarks and one can tell that he is not up to anything good. Our impeccable sources within the army have charged that Mr Lungu is trying to identify some user friendly individuals whom he thinks can back his ideas even at a last minute. Our appeal to the army is that you are Zambians and any confusion will have a direct impact on you too. You have your families so, think twice.
Do we need the concourt in Zambia? Is a question that demands million answers. To answer it right now all we need is to unit as one people. If we unit no amount of intimidations or guns will defeat us. The world is watching Lungu and PF. As you may be aware that last year and early this year we submitted reports to the UN secretary General and all you see PF doing is in the reports.
About the concourt, our expectations have been short lived what has been hatched is a monster and not a cure for our democracy. As the saying goes expectation without preparation is dangerous. Is it only me over thinking about monster of the concourt in Zambia today? I thought us Zambians wanted a special court to deal specifically on the constitutional matters but, it appears the ones’ entrusted find the constitution a hard nut to crack. Many citizens are concerned about the outcome of the court and the way forward for Zambia.Mosho the PF lawyer has sued to evoke the immunity clause to help the judges find an easy way out of the case. He forgets that, the very constitution that provides for immunity has also provided for petition a presidential candidate as a way of getting around the immunity. For goodness sake we’re not taking Mr Lungu to court for adultery or theft of public resources, it is for seeking an illegal term of office. Anyway, learned lawyers will argue that.
Removing PF at all cost is a must fellow country men and women. We would also like to warn all those foreign businesspersons that are bankrolling PF, stop it.
