ZCSD demands removal of Presidential Immunity

ZCSD Executive Director Lewis Mwape

The Zambia Council for Social Development (ZCSD) has called on Zambians to demand for the removal of Presidential Immunity from the Republican Constitution.

ZCSD Executive Director Lewis Mwape says his organization has acknowledged that modern democracy and politics may demand that leaders become more accountable and citizens hold them accountable at all times.

Mr. Mwape is of the view that no one must have immunity to face the law or to be held accountable even through legal means.

Mr Mwape says for the nation to be successful in the fight against corruption and establishment of accountable governance systems; all institutions must be unanswerable to the judicial processes including the presidency.
