The next Govt must really work hard to panel beat our constitution so that if we have a novice like Hakainde in power, the public and opposition are protected through strong Govt institutions. As it is now, it is worse than Chipante pante. Three years into office, we can’t see a semblance of governance other than rhetoric. Hakainde doesn’t even know where to touch other than his pocket.

Zambia needs a tough clear-out of its rotten police force and judicial system .These are institutions with serious flaws that need to be held accountable.

These meetings are highly unnecessary esp that they two groups are from separate arms of government. They challenges each faces is a means to ensuring checks and balances to moving the country forward ..esp that details are not being disclosed here. It’s a pity, the author here is addressing the bilateral meeting as though it was just Judges &Magistrates gathering to be addressed by president Hakainde Sammy Hichilema.

Such gatherings should be discouraged as it’s a breeding grounds for plans to only targeting political opponents of the UPND &HH using the justice system ..which is very unfortunate..

In reply to Deja Vu.

@HMV lessons in democracy are badly needed by the entire population of Zambia. We opted for democracy because we were tired of one man rule!
The executive’s power must be checked by the Judiciary and the legislature and the press but right under our noses, the executive has stolen all the powers.
And we are busy cheering.

There is a serious problem in the Judiciary. As HH has openly and repeatedly said, during his stay in detention on Edgar Lungu’s trumped treason charge, he saw people in remand prison who have not appeared before a court of law for, wait for it, 20 years. Now how do you deal with an issue like that besides taking the exceptional step of meeting the Magistrates and Judges Union? Judges-in-charge of judicial districts make periodic visists to prisons to check on inmates. So what’s the point of such checks if some cases can take as long as 20 years without being concluded? This is evidence that the problem starts with security of court documents, the running of registries right up to the judges themselves.

Next it’ll be MPs led by the speaker and her deputies. We’re finished
