@ Sandy, the Kalenga family is embroiled in chaos, with members fiercely competing for the scraps of their late father’s estate. The disputed sale of their late father’s building on Cairo Road is a good example. Their only unifying factor is their relentless pursuit of grabbing another family’s assets. This has led them to resort to unethical tactics, including collusion with corrupt officials, all driven by their greed.

#sandy – Absolutely agree on the need for professionalism! Just take a look at the chaotic situation with Mubita Nawa at Interpol! The Attorney General has had no choice but to confirm the shocking claims made by the sadhus—that they were indeed taken to a secret location in Kalundu. Remarkably, the ACC seems to have emerged from this mess relatively unscathed, while the police, under Jack Mwiimbu, are left looking tarnished **** Shamakamba may have received a blessing in disguise to leave this sinking ship.

My Zambia, that’s quire an interesting deduction and suggests there is a pattern of calculated malice driving certain cases, rather than the interests of justice! Who will watch the watchers?!

@ John – The entire situation is utterly shameful! It became apparent Musa Mwenya did not share the same cozy rapport with Tom Shamakamba that he had with his predecessor, Gilbert Phiri. It was his duty to either resign or strive to act in the national interest. Instead, he ended up being fired, embittered, and now he’s on the hunt for people to blame.

The defense strategy employed by Dr. Kaaba would likely be dismissed in numerous Common Law jurisdictions, as the defendants appear to be contesting a ruling made by the Anti Corruption Commission through defamation proceedings, which is generally regarded as improper. The appropriate legal recourse to challenge such a decision in court would typically involve filing a Judicial Review application with the High Court.

Moreover, Dr. Kaaba’s new benefactors, the Kalengas, appear to be resorting to forum shopping, having already lost their claims in various courts. Given Dr. Kaaba’s background as a professor of law, it would be expected that he possesses an understanding of these legal intricacies.

The ongoing court proceedings are part of the proxy battle initiated by State Counsel Musa Mwenya against President Hichilema during his tenure as the anti corruption board chairperson. Dr. Kaaba is acting as SC Mwenya’s proxy and has published the controversial articles written by Musa Mwenya but attributed to himself. The true intentions of this duo are questionable and have destabilised the system from within.

The Director General likely thought he was being extra diligent by revisiting a settled issue, however, he now faces criticism for failing to deliver the outcomes the complainants expected. O’Brian Kaaba and Patson Chilemba should not escape unscathed after defaming an entire agency that was simply following the law.
