Depuis quelque temps,en Zambie, il y a un processus en cours pour lever l'immunite de l'ancien President F Chiluba et le poursuivre en justice.Ma question est la suivante:
Pourquoi ne pas faire une regle generale en Afrique de faciliter la levee de l'immunite des anciens chefs d'Etats donc facile de les poursuivre pour les infractions(corruption,nepotisme,vol etc)commises lors de leur mandat?
Je pense que c'est serait un garde fou,contre les presidents africains qui lors de leur mandat sont de vrais intouchables.Au moins ils seront qu'il y aura un lendemain.Celui qui n'a rien fait de mal n'aura rien a craindre de toute maniere,quand on sait combien les anciens chefs d'Etat jouissent toujours de quelque popularite et sympatie.Surement personne(aucun procureur superzele) ne risquera leur poursuivre pour fausse accusation.Le peuple reconnaitra,et defendra toujours ces bienfaiteurs.Il ne sera pas ingrat et traitre.Le support du peuple sera un garant de proces equitable.
S Keita.
Home of Ex-Leader of Zambia Searched for Drugs
September 1, 2002
By REUTERS
LUSAKA, Zambia, Aug. 31 (Reuters) - Zambian police broke
into the home of former President Frederick Chiluba today
to search for drugs, which they accused him of selling
since he left office in December, witnesses said.
The police broke down the front door and entered Mr.
Chiluba's home around 11 a.m. after a five-hour standoff in
which he refused to recognize a search warrant.
One officer said they were investigating an allegation that
Mr. Chiluba, a former clergyman, had been dealing in drugs
from his home since he retired at the end of last year.
Mr. Chiluba's lawyer, Robert Simeza, denied the accusation
and said before the police broke into the house that he
would oppose the search warrant.
"We refuse to cooperate with the police because this is a
breach of the law," he said.
On Friday, the Zambian High Court upheld a parliamentary
decision in July to revoke Mr. Chiluba's immunity from
prosecution and charge him with corruption.
But Judge Anthony Nyangulu suspended the order, giving Mr.
Chiluba's lawyers 30 days to lodge a final appeal against
prosecution.
Mr. Chiluba retired after an unsuccessful attempt to
persuade Parliament to lift a two-term presidential limit
and allow him to seek re-election after 10 years in power.
His efforts failed, and Levy Mwanawasa, who has since made
a drive against corruption the focus of his government, was
elected.
Mr. Chiluba went to court in July and won an order
suspending the Parliament's decision until it is reviewed
by the courts.
In July, President Mwanawasa listed in Parliament a series
of what he called questionable or corrupt deals ordered or
approved by Mr. Chiluba. The accusations have led to the
resignation of the chief justice and the foreign affairs
minister.
Mr. Chiluba has denied the accusations, saying he is a
victim of a political vendetta.
