President Edgar Lungu got to work at a time his critics were casting doubt on his state of health by swearing in eight judges of the Appeals Court.

His critics have gone to town making innuendos about his state of health but President Lungu has twice delivered a witty response by once appearing on national television and also having sworn judges as part of his routine duties at State House.

The Head of State has also maintained his confidence in women by appointing a lady to head the Appeals Court.

He has appointed four women to the Appeals Court that mark a significant leap in the push for women representation at decision making level.

President Lungu is expected to get back to the battle front next week when he once again hits the campaign trail.

The Head of State has so far had landmark campaign rallies in Lusaka and the Copperbelt and will be spreading his tentacles to the rest of the country when he returns to the battlefront.
