SUSPENDING JUDGE KATANEKWA IS EVIDENCE JUDICIARY UNDER SIEGE – NYAMBE
SOUTHERN Province Patriotic Front-PF Secretary, Golden Nyambe, says he is not surprised by the suspension of High Court Judge, Timothy Katenekwa, stating that the move is an indicator that the Judicial system is under control and siege from those in power.
In December 2023, President Hakainde Hichilema suspended Katanekwa on supposed recommendation from the Judicial Service Commission.
The suspended Judge was handling the matter in which Miles Sampa sued Nickson Chilangwa and Given Lubinda, challenging their initial positions of Acting Secretary General and President of PF, respectively.
Nyambe alleges that governance institutions have been compromised by the current administration, hence relating Katenekwa’s suspension to his reluctance in consenting to the change of the PF leadership to recognize Miles Sampa and his camp as leaders.
Earlier, Mporokoso Member of Parliament, Brian Mundubile, described the suspension of Katanekwa as an act of intimidation.
Mundubile noted the need to scrutinize the appointment of members of the Judicial Commission.
