The Mutembo Nchito SC Tribunal
Madam Chief Justice,
We the under signed request that the proceedings of the tribunal set up to probe the DPP, Mr. Mutembo Nchito should be open to the public. The accusations against the DPP were made publicly and we were made to believe that the tribunal was set up in the public interest. We, the under signed believe that a tribunal whose proceedings are not open to the public will not allow Mr. Nchito a fair and unbiased hearing before the law, which is Mr. Nchito's, and every Zambian's constitutional right. We believe that allowing the setting up of a tribunal to sit in secret is going down a slippery slope. We risk setting a bad precedent where the rights of Zambian citizens are trampled upon without any recourse to the law. Such an occurrence casts the integrity and fairness of the judiciary in very bad light.
Madam Chief Justice, we ask for a fair and open hearing for Mr. Mutembo Nchito because we strongly believe that " injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

The private individuals who petitioned for the tribunal have a right to be heard, and the President has agreed to their petition. We think that for the sake of transparency, an open public hearing will not only give Mr. Mutembo Nchito the right to be heard, but will also clear the executive of involvement in his perceived persecution.
Make it open please
Justice must prevail
justice for all
I agree
Open the Mtembo Nchito tribunal to the public
I agree lets us stand up for what is right

Mr. Mutembo Nchito "case" is of public interest and as such the Tribunal needs to be open to the public. Natural justice demands no more no less.
