Former Konkola Copper Mines Provisional liquidator Milingo Lungu has filed a notice of motion before the Constitutional Court for an order for Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Gilbert Phiri to be committed for contempt.
In the notice of motion filed, the petitioner has cited the Attorney General and the Administrator General as respondents.
Mr. Lungu says on 17th March 2022 he entered into a Non Prosecution or immunity agreement with the DPP exempting him from prosecution for acts done in the performance of his duties as provisional liquidator of Konkola Copper Mines (KCM).
However when Mr. Phiri was sworn in as DPP, he announced at a Press Conference that he had revoked the Immunity Agreement granted to him based on public outcry.
