PATRIOTIC Front secretary general Davies Mwila says his party respects the rule of law.
“…and therefore wishes to guide its members that all matters that are before the courts of law must be left in the hands of competent authorities who are lawfully assigned to handle such matters,” stated Mwila.
In a statement this morning, Mwila said he noted what he termed “distorted messages by some political commentators that the Patriotic Front (PF) is threatening the independence of the judiciary”.
Mwila insisted that the PF disapproves of any behavior or statements that undermines the independence and integrity of the Judiciary and would therefore not support any form of mobilization or utterances that may be seen to suggest that.
“The PF strongly believes in the separation of powers between and among the three organs of the state, that is, the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. And as the Party in Government, the PF takes keen interest in how the Executive in particular, represents the Party’s Manifesto position on this matter,” stated Mwila.
