The Lusaka High Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by LCK Foundation and Chapter One Foundation, which sought to prevent Parliament from tabling and processing over 70 Bills within a week. Judge Lameck Mwale ruled that the High Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, stating that only the Constitutional Court has the authority to adjudicate issues involving alleged constitutional breaches, particularly those concerning public participation in law-making under Article 89. The foundations had argued that Parliament's decision to suspend Standing Orders and expedite the Bills before its dissolution next week would deny citizens sufficient time for public participation, violating Article 89 of the Constitution. They also sought an order to stop the Attorney General, National Assembly, and Clerk of the National Assembly from proceeding with the Bills. Judge Mwale concluded that the lawsuit primarily relied on interpreting constitutional provisions, which falls exclusively under the mandate of the Constitutional Court as per Article 128. Consequently, he dismissed the application for judicial review, stating there was no case fit for further investigation by the High Court due to a clear lack of jurisdiction.
