CHANDA CHALLENGES OPPOSITION ALLIANCE

PF Media Director SUNDAY CHANDA has noted with disappointment the hypocrisy continuously exhibited by opposition political party leaders over court rulings.

Mr. CHANDA says the culture some opposition party leaders have developed is one that portrays them to be above the law and not respect decisions that are seemingly not in their favor.

His comments come in the wake of this week’s Constitutional Court ruling over the stay of ministers in office in 2016.

In a statement, Mr. CHANDA wonders why there is a sudden reverence of the justice system in Zambia by the alliance, which has welcomed the verdict.

He says the same alliance showers discredit on the very Constitutional Court for ruling that President EDGAR LUNGU is eligible to contest the 2021 elections.

Mr. CHANDA said he expects the alliance to respect every court ruling and come to equity when justice is served.

He said the law should and will always be fairly applied in the country, adding that President LUNGU has always stood for independence of the judiciary.

Mr. CHANDA said as Head of State, the President will always support constitutional institutions and their rulings.

He has urged all former and current ministers affected by the court ruling to adhere by it and pay back as demanded.
