AG Says Investigative Wings Not Obliged To Disclose Security Threats

Zambian Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha has stated that the country’s investigative wings are not required to disclose the specific nature of security threats that resulted in a recent three-day closure of the courts. The statement serves as a formal response to the Law Association of Zambia, which had formally requested greater transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding the disruption of judicial operations.

By asserting that these agencies have no obligation to share details about such threats, the Attorney General has effectively rejected calls for increased public disclosure. The incident highlights a tension between the government's security protocols and the legal community's demand for accountability and clarity regarding the suspension of court activities.
