ConCourt ruling shows Courts’ ability to interpret issues- Zulu

Lusaka Lawyer Makebi Zulu says Friday’s ruling of  the constitutional court over President Edgar Lungu’s eligibility to seek re-election will now pave way for further developments in Zambia.

Mr. Zulu, who is also Eastern Province Minister says the Constitutional Court ruling has given confidence to investors over the Courts’ ability to interpret issues and resolve disputes in finality.

Mr. Zulu however states that the confidence that people and investors have in the courts is being compromised by some people who are casting aspersions on the Judiciary.

Speaking during the Patriotic Front interactive forum in Lusaka, Mr Zulu who is also Malambo Member of Parliament has noted the need for the courts’ decision to be respected and allowed to stand.

Mr. Zulu states that the Constitutional Court’s ruling entails that president Edgar Lungu will stand in 2021 and that nothing will change.

Meanwhile speaking during the same event Patriotic Front Media Director Sunday Chanda has warned that the party will not seat back and allow roan member of parliament who is also NDC consultant Chishimba Kambwili to continue putting the name of the republican president into disrepute.

Mr. Chanda has also assured that the party will root out all cartels that are forming to bring confusion in the party.
