Lusaka, Nov. 07 – But Constitutional lawyer, John Sangwa, says Speaker of National Assembly, Nelly Mutti, is in breach of the Constitution for effecting changes with regards to Chief Parliamentary Whip and Leader of the Opposition.

Sangwa says Nelly Mutti is a sure candidate of Jail looking at how she has breached the Constitution of Zambia and, abused her powers and authority. He has condemned the warning against MPs by Mutti.

And Sangwa has warned that President Hakainde Hichilema will be made answerable for refusing to move to State House and deciding to make public money to be spent on transporting him to and from State House.

However, commenting on the ongoing leadership wrangles in PF, Sangwa says the Speaker as well as the Registrar of Societies are all going to have difficulties when UPND government leaves office because they are aiding criminality.

Meanwhile, Sangwa says he still rates Hakainde Hichilema a failure for failing to honour campaign promises and making Zambia’s economy worse than it was during Edgar Lungu’s time.

Sangwa has also condemned President Hichilema over the dubious KCM deal with Vedenta saying it smells of illegalities.

The renowned Constitutional lawyer has also said that the Constitution of Zambia remains the same and therefore, allows Edgar Lungu to run for office in 2026.

Sangwa has expressed disappointment the way government institutions such as the Police have been mobilised to kill democracy in Zambia. He says it is clear that Hichilema is busy fooling the people of Zambia saying he is tolerant yet the democratic space in shrinking in the country.

John Sangwa also says Hichilema has violated the law over the appointment of an Auditor General who is beyond the required age limit.
