Did You Know?

The Judiciary, specifically the Constitutional Court, has the power to declare laws unconstitutional in Zambia. Through judicial review, courts can examine legislation and government actions to ensure they comply with the Constitution. This power serves as a crucial check on the other branches of government, protecting constitutional principles and fundamental rights from legislative or executive overreach.
