Can the Director General of the Anti Corruption Bureau be interdicted? Just asking! But the Government is all over the place as it tries to rid itself from problems of its own fabrication.
1. Start from the indictment of the Vice President. If my recollection is right, as soon as the VP is indicted impeachment commences. I will verify this. Did the government consider the consequences of the indictment?
2. The gravamen of the Commission of Inquiry on the DPP is that the DPP had 'abused office.' a) this is a crime. Yet the President acted when no such crime was investigated and the DPP charged. b) Query whether the ground for removal of the DPP complies with the Constitution.
3. Interdiction applies to the civil service and is a contractual provision - probably now statutory.
4. The President cannot say that he has confidence in Chizuma and then sanction interdiction.
5. Should Chizuma really have been indicted if the Director of Public Prosecution when taking the decision to prosecute considered the interests of justice? Here is a lady who was really under an apparent advocateur - a person who was trapping the Director of the ACB - to commit a crime! Surely, the law on such crime is very favourable to the entrapped, l would imagine!
