Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>A rights activist, has filed a petition in the Constitution Court stating that President Hakainde Hichilema broke the law by practically \u2018labeling\u2019 DPP Lillian Siyuni guilty before she was probed, tried in a competent court of law.<\/p>\n

Mr Mwanza has also asked JCC chair Vincent Blacksin Malambo to recuse himself from the DPPs case due to a serious factual case of conflict. JCC chair Vincent Malambo, member Chad Muleza must recuse themselves from hearing DPP Lillian Siyuni\u2019s case alleging that she broke the law when she entered a nolle in a case involving former KCM Liquidator Milingo Lungu.<\/p>\n

This is according to court records filed today in the Constitutional Court by Isaac Mwanza, a renowned Zambian rights Activist who charges on record that Malambo and Muleza cannot expected to give DPP Siyuni a fair trial due to their legal affiliations and other relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalambo is conflicted because he is a partner with the Minister of Justice Mulambo Haimbe in Malambo\u2019s law firm while Muleza is\u201d a personal friend\u201d of President Hakainde Hichilema. \u201c<\/p>\n

The crux of the argument is contained in number eight and nine of the official petition by Mwanza here below. The gravest question being asked by legal experts however is whether President Hichilema committed an impeachable offence or not, The respondent is the Attorney General.<\/p>\n
