This follows President Sata’s recent call on public service officers to ignore people talking about the constitution.
Oasis Forum Chairperson, Susanne Matale has told Qfm News that the constitution is not about President Sata or his government but is about the more 13 million Zambians who resolved 18 years ago to have a new constitution.
Rev. Matale who is also Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) Secretary General recalls that this is the same new constitution President Sata while opposition leader referred to as what the country needed when he condemned the current constitution as being obsolete and defunct.
She says the Oasis Forum does not understand why President Sata has now turned around now that he is Head of State and say that the current constitution is good when the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) based its 2011 campaigns on delivering a new constitution.
And Reverend Matale has advised President Sata to desist from disparaging fellow leaders in public, citing the instance in which he referred to PF members of parliament as useless.
She says this is because it is very embarrassing for people in the country who are looking forwarding to leadership in the party and government to hear of their leaders being described as useless in public

Me? I have stopped taking this cartoon of a man called Sata seriously. As far as I am concerned he is just a kaponya and a cadre…The earlier he is flushed out of the system the better for the majority of Zambians…

The country has a constitution therefore we have to take time. Remember the draft has remained silent about how far an MP or leader of opposition shud go. why shud same pipo continue as mps or presidents? Thanku mr president for not rushing the constitution.

Gambling on “first past the post” the longer he delays so that chances are high for a Sata second term! If it were limiting serving terms for MP’s he and his party could have made submissions at the appropriate stage. However parties have their own constitutions to address such concerns. The president has to release the draft constitution period, Zambia is not about him.

icinshikululwa, Kayula and Kamimbya….You guys are very irritating to say the least. Who the **** do you think you are to tell us to shut up about the constitution? Do you know and understand that some of us voted for your cartoon president because he had promised us a new constitution – a people driven constitution – a constitution that will stand the test of time in 90 days!! Now you have the guts to open your stinking mouths and tell us that we shouldn’t talk about the constitution? Be serious!!
