Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>MINISTER of Justice Mulambo Haimbe says the defamation of the President law applied to Patriotic Front (PF) faction secretary general Raphael Nakacinda because the clause had not been removed from the statute book at the time he accused President Hichilema of manipulating the Judiciary.<\/p>\n
