• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to oppose this report. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I will be very precise. I want to go to the report which is not numbered. This shows how poorly the report was prepared. The report says that the said Judicial Service Commission (JSC) Commissioners breached Article 161(2)(c) of the Constitution that designates the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary as the Accounting Officer. This is by purporting to approve and disapprove money for the expenditure and money allocated to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: the Judiciary. I have gone through this report and what I see here is a document which only supports the allegations. Hon. Members, let us go through this report and be factual. Section “F” talks about delayed salaries. It says:- view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: “Due to some unavoidable technicalities, the salaries for the month of September for magistrates, Khadhis and staff of the Judiciary will delay a little. We are, however, working hard to solve the problem with a view to paying the salaries this week.” view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is not stated anywhere that the delay was caused by JSC. I find this very unfair unless there is another document which is not here. So, the first allegation is based on no fact or statement that is attached to this report. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Part 2(b) says that the Commissioners violated Article 173(1)(3). There is a designated Chief Registrar of the Judiciary who is the Administrator of the Judiciary Fund. By directing payment to be done by persons not authorized to approve expenditure, it increased the vulnerability of the Judiciary. I have looked for those documents in this report. I have looked at part “B” and “E”. Where are these facts in this report that we, as Members, should approve? view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Let us go, first, to part “E”. There is a correspondence written by the Chief Registrar to the Principal Secretary, National Treasury asking for the role of the Accounting Officer to be clarified. I want to quote part of that letter. It says:- view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: “In my reading of the law, I am of the opinion that the Finance Administration Subcommittee of the JSC should be concerned with the finances of the JSC and not of the Judiciary as the two are distinct and separate.” view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I can tell you today that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) plays an oversight role on all of us. Equally, the JSC plays an oversight policy role for everyone and that is why it is there. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I want to go to the Annex. I will refer to the report and nothing else. If you go to Annex “B”, you will see the lease of the house which they are buying for the Chief Justice. Another Annex shows the lease of a building for the Court of Appeal in Upper Hill which was paid for before it was completed. They must look at the interest of the customer that they will serve. This building was paid for in dollars. Are we in Zambia? view
