THE Forum for Progressive Politics (FPP) and the Zambia Direct Democracy Movement (ZDDM), have urged the Zambian Government to request the British Prime Minister David Cameron to recall their High Commissioner to Zambia, Tom Carter, for alleged interference on the country's judicial system.

The two organisations described as wrong the alleged continued interference and undermining of the country's judicial system, by British High Commissioner to Zambia.

In a joint letter dated August 30, 2010 and addressed to Foreign Affairs Minister Kabinga Pande, and copied to President Rupiah Banda, and Mr Carter, FPP secretary general Charles Kafumbo and ZDDM national coordinator Edwin Sakala, stated that the continued interference by the British government on the country's judicial system was a mockery of Justice.

The duo state that Zambia was a sovereign State and that its integrity and that of its institutions should be respected, saying that the judiciary's decision not to register the London Judgment on former president Fredrick Chiluba, and the subsequent decision by Government not to appeal on the matter, should be respected by all, including the British High Commissioner.

"The continued attack on our judiciary by the British High Commissioner is an infringement to our sovereignty and clear contravening of the Geneva Conventions and protocols, hence our formal request to Government to ask the new British Prime Minister David Cameron to recall Mr Carter," states the letter.

Mr Kafumbo said FPP and ZDDM had in October 2009 petitioned Mr Carter over his alleged involvement and ridicule on the acquittal of Dr Chiluba.

"We also asked the British government to give a breakdown of the budget given to the defunct Task Force which we said was highly malicious and a fake anti-corruption crusade," Mr Kafumbo said.

FPP and ZDDM said they had also written to Mr Cameron in a letter dated August 26, 2010, asking him to apologise to the people of Zambia on the malicious, hateful and divisive fake anti-corruption fight allegedly orchestrated by the former British government of Tony Blair, using British tax payers funds.

Mr Kafumbo said that the Auditor General's report, which highlighted the misappropriation of one trillion Kwacha by the Task Force, was evidence enough to the Zambian people that the Task Force was not well meaning.

Last Friday, British High Commissioner Tom Carter was quoted in the media as having said that the London judgment on Dr Chiluba, was still in force.

Mr Carter was also quoted as having said that the London judgment had not been overturned, and that the Zambian government had already recovered substantial amounts of money in Belgium and elsewhere, as a result of the London Judgment.
