Constitutional lawyer, John Sangwa, says suspended Director of Public Prosecution Lilian Siyunyi denied herself the right to be defended when she failed to exculpate herself before the Judicial Complaints Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. <\/a>Sangwa says it was Ms. Siyunyi’s obligation to defend herself because it is her Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says there is no way, one statutory obligation could override her constitutional rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Mr. Sangwa says President Hakainde Hichilema is obliged to act on the recommendations of the Judicial Complaints Commission as reported to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The JCC is expected to convene within 30 days to hear the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
