PRETORIA-(MaraviPost)-Zambia, a nation that prides itself on justice, respect for the rule of law, and cultural dignity, currently finds itself saddled with a grandstanding rogue masquerading as the country’s Attorney General.

Mulilo Kabesha’s recent actions and statements have laid bare a disturbing trend of arrogance, political posturing, and blatant disregard for the very principles he is meant to uphold.

The Attorney General’s role is clear: to be the guardian of justice, the protector of legal integrity, and the voice of fairness in government.

Instead, Kabesha has chosen to be a political showman, twisting the law to suit the ruling elite’s agenda while openly disrespecting Zambian citizens, traditions, and grieving families.

His recent pronouncements on the burial of former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu epitomize this troubling behavior.

Kabesha has brazenly threatened to proceed with the burial without the family should they object.

Such a declaration is not only reckless but deeply insensitive and legally questionable.

It reveals a man willing to bulldoze over culture, family rights, and the sacred dignity of death for political gain.

This grandstanding rogue’s narrative that the government is merely acting in the public interest falls flat when juxtaposed with leaked documents and government actions that clearly indicate a power struggle, not a pursuit of justice or respect.

The insistence on imposing President Hichilema’s presence at a funeral where he is unwelcome reeks of political theater, not leadership.

Kabesha’s antics insult the intelligence of Zambians.

They see through the smoke and mirrors, recognizing that this is a battle for control, influence, and legacy played out on the most personal and sacred stage of all: the final farewell of a former leader.

Zambia deserves better.

It deserves an Attorney General who respects the law, honors cultural values, and acts with humility and integrity, not a rogue who grandstands for political spectacle at the expense of national unity and respect.

Until Mulilo Kabesha is reminded that his office is one of solemn duty rather than political showmanship, Zambia will continue to grapple with the damage wrought by his reckless disregard for justice and decency.

Concluding Analysis

Mulilo Kabesha’s reckless behavior is not a mere slip—it is a blatant assault on Zambia’s rule of law.

His grandstanding has transformed the Attorney General’s office from a beacon of justice into a stage for political theater.

By weaponizing his position for partisan gain, Kabesha has betrayed the trust of every Zambian who believes in fairness and dignity.

This is more than political posturing—it is a dangerous corrosion of the very institutions meant to safeguard democracy.

Kabesha’s brazen disregard for cultural respect and legal process mocks the sacrifices of those who built Zambia’s democratic legacy.

If this lawlessness goes unchecked, it sets a precedent that power trumps principle in Zambia’s corridors of governance.

Such a path leads not to justice, but to chaos, division, and the eventual collapse of public confidence in the state.

Zambians deserve an Attorney General who serves the people, not a rogue who serves only his political masters.

The time for complacency is over.

It is imperative that Kabesha be held accountable—not just for the sake of one funeral, but for the soul of Zambia’s democracy.

Failing to act now will condemn the nation to a future where justice is silenced by spectacle and tyranny wears the robes of law.
