Proceedings against suspended Director of Public Prosecution, Lilian Siyunyi have continued before the Judicial Complaints Commission in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. <\/a>Siyunyi is accused of gross misconduct and incompetence over how she handled the matter involving the seized MMD vehicles and alleged interference with the Drug Enforcement Commission over the re-arrest of former KCM liquidator, Milingo Lungu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Governance Expert, McDonald Chipenzi says there’s need to amend the constitution so that the Director of Public Prosecution is not given absolute power to decide which cases to prosecute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Chipenzi notes that previous DPPs in Zambia faced similar accusations due to the law which gives the office the power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
