The petitioner were seeking to stop the Speaker from tabling the impeachment motion against President Edgar Lungu in parliament.
Hearing of the matter was set for today in chambers, however trial could not commence as prosecutors from the Attorney General’s Chambers informed the court that there was an application for an adjournment as the Attorney General was out of jurisdiction.
The application for adjournment angered the petitioners who made their feelings known to the court tthrough their lawyer Hobday Kabwe.
Justice Bobo agreed with the petitioners and warned that there would be no more adjournments.
She directed both parties to file their additional bundles by March 11 and set May 9 for hearing of the petition.
