Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>To lift or not to? It\u2019s a question that\u2019s captivated the political landscape since the change of the presidential guard and civil society, political pundits including lawyers alike have been discussing this matter ad infinitum.<\/p>\n

For starters, Zambia like many democracies\u2019 world oversubscribes to the principle that every citizen is presumed innocent until proven guilty or otherwise by a court of law. It\u2019s on record that there is currently no case or investigation against former President Edgar Lungu \u2013 at least in the public domain for crimes he may have committed during his Presidency. What then is motivating calls for his immunity to be lifted? It\u2019s a difficult ask and off course, answers may vary depending on one\u2019s political affiliation.<\/p>\n

Is it even necessary that parliament should consider taking this route should Lungu be found wanting? \u201cWe will cross the bridge when we get there,\u201d remarked President Hakainde Hichilema (HH) when asked about this niggling matter during his recent press briefing. This response is a remarkable departure from the conciliatory speech he gave soon after he was declared winner of the 2021 Presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Even though the then President-elect extended a gesture of goodwill to the former President, he didn\u2019t directly broach the issue of Lungu\u2019s, immunity. However, the undertones in his remarks somewhat gave a vague assurance that Lungu will be left in peace to enjoy his retirement. This seems unlikely.<\/p>\n

Fast forward: While President Hichilema deftly dodged the simplest question at the briefing, he in the process gave the nation a glimpse into his mindset regarding Lungu\u2019s future. \u201cNow that I have the privilege of knowing what I know, I would like to warn you Zambians to be very careful of the people you elect as leaders,\u201d Granted that HH now has the intelligence apparatus in his corner, the inference to this statement is that there might be a few but serious questions that Lungu requires to answer hence HH couldn\u2019t be definitive on safeguarding Lungu\u2019s immunity.<\/p>\n

What does the future hold for Lungu then? Only time will tell, for now he remains on HH\u2019s leash. Interestingly, Sesheke UPND Member of Parliament, Romeo Kangombe\u2019s recent vow to table a parliamentary motion to lift Lungu\u2019s immunity adds a different twist to this matter altogether. While his pronouncement smacks of misplaced bravado \u2013 because only the President can do that, Kangombe let slip what could be loud whispers doing the rounds in his party regarding the former President\u2019s immunity. With or without evidence of wrongdoing, it seems that the UPND\u2019s desire to force the former President to account for his reign is a foregone conclusion and all that this process is waiting to play out is some fuel and a matchstick.<\/p>\n

Blame it on deeply flawed precedence set by former President Levy Mwanawasa (MHSRIP), there is almost an ingrained expectation in Zambia\u2019s political psyche requiring that every immediate past president be dragged before courts to account for their reign. This is a dangerous vicious cycle and parliament ought to somehow put a stop to this madness and safeguard the office of the immediate past President. For clarity, this in no way implies that rogues be shielded from accountability but strengthening legislative oversight on the office of the sitting President is simply one of the many proposals for consideration.<\/p>\n

How times have changed. Who could have predicted that Lungu\u2019s future will someday be determined by a person that he once locked up on a trumped-up treason charge; here is a true-life lesson unfolding right before the country? While he has tried to conceal his anger regarding his incarceration \u2013 this despite his repeated calls to let the sleeping dogs lie, HH is still bitter about this experience.<\/p>\n

The fact that HH kept whistling at sleeping beasts whilst asking others to stop as exemplified in the subtle reminder of the 15 times that he was thrown in jail, underscores this point. Visibly irritated, he yet again reminded the audience gathered at his presser. \u201cAs if this was not enough, they threatened to take me back to prison after elections.\u201d While not every politician is as forgiving as Nelson Mandela, the President can\u2019t have it both ways; he should either forgive and move on or at worst launch an open political warfare against his political opponents.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in fact worrying that he chose to use the presser to send a chilling warning to the PF asking its leadership and its members to behave. Question is, what did the PF do wrong to warrant his threat? This too, he couldn\u2019t elaborate. This begs yet another question? Is it inimical for a defeated political party to regroup? So goes a Ngoni axiom, ndale zibala mkangano \u2013 loosely translated as politics do give birth to contestation. Unless the PF is engaged in subversions only known to the President and the intelligence community, it\u2019s fair to suggest that the PF\u2019s criticism of the UPND government has thus far been within prescripts of the constitution.<\/p>\n

Whispers in corridors of power suggest that several former cabinet ministers are under investigations for various offences committed during PF\u2019s tenure in office. Now, this poses a challenge to the new government\u2019s fight against graft.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the fact that the PF and its former leaders must account for wrongdoing, UPND should guard against perpetuating the notion that it\u2019s using state institutions and its newly acquired position of strength to decimate the opposition. And how HH manages to navigate this challenge will shape his Presidency. While true that the PF leadership stepped on so many toes, it\u2019s important to draw a distinction between personal differences among warring politicians and crimes politicians may have committed against the state.<\/p>\n

While the new dawn which HH espouses is anchored in a departure from the past, the wanton dismissals from government of individuals \u2013 simply for having worn PF regalia ages back does not bode well for reconciliation. It\u2019s indisputable that that the culture at the time called for subserviency to rulers of the day and cadreism was an easy ladder to career development.<\/p>\n

As such, retribution and vindictiveness will not move the country forward \u2013 Zambia does not require a politically toxic environment but positive investor sentiment that will project the country as the perfect destination for Foreign Direct Investment in the region.<\/p>\n

The President needs to reign in on this vindictive vice otherwise the country risks sliding back into the much-hated cadre mentality. This includes how he will manage Lungu\u2019s immunity poser.<\/p>\n
