Movement for Multi-Party Democracy president Nevers Mumba says he will not be intimidated over his calls for acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda to resign.
Dr Mumba says threats of contempt of court by acting Registrar and Director of court Operations will not scare anyone.
He says there is need for the PF government to accept that the acting Chief Justice is holding office illegally than resorting to intimidating people speaking out on the illegality.
Dr Mumba adds that it is President Michael Sata who made former Chief Justice Ernest Sakala to be forced out of office.
He says it is unfortunate that government wants to proceed governing the country on the basis of illegality.
The MMD president has further urged government to give the judiciary a breather and allegedly stop issuing directives on how certain cases should be handled.
Dr Mumba has vowed to continue speaking the truth and providing checks and balances to the ruling PF regardless of what they say about the MMD.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mumba says the MMD will write to the African Union on alleged injustices being committed by the ruling PF against the opposition.
He says the former ruling party could not go ahead today with a planned demonstration to demand the resignation of the acting Chief Justice following the refusal by Police to grant them a permit.
He says this is a form of injustice that the opposition political parties have continued to be subjected to by the government.
