FODEP Queries Ministry of Justice on Draft Constitution
The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) has challenged the Technical Committee and the Ministry of Justice to tell the nation where the ten copies of the final draft constitution are.
FODEP Executive Director, MacDonald Chipenzi, has told QFM News in a telephone interview that it is worrying to hear that government has refused that it never received the documents while the technical committee has maintained that it handed over the documents to government.
Mr. Chipenzi, who is also Grand Coalition championing for the speedy enactment of the new constitution spokesperson, says it is the will of every Zambian citizen to have a new republican constitution.
Mr. Chipenzi says government is frustrating the people of Zambia through its delaying tactics to deliver a new republican constitution.
Mr. Chipenzi has accused government of not understanding the procedure of having a national referendum and has since called upon the government to engage the CSOs over the same matter.
He says it is for this reason that his organization demands to know where the documents are so that concerned stakeholders can know what to do next.

By the way, voting is going on in India. The incumbent has been roasted for failing to face the public in press conferences. Similarities abound!

The PF’s 2016 verdict will largely be dependent on how it handles the economy and the constitution. We are the judges.
