Lack of Proper Constitution Has Paralyzed Functions Of Parliament – FODEP
The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) has charged that the lack of a proper constitution in the country has paralyzed the functions of Parliament to hold the executive to account.
FODEP Executive Director Macdonald Chipenzi says parliament in its current format is unable to hold government accountable even when things are not going right because of a weak constitution in place.
Mr. Chipenzi says people are able to go to Parliament and tell lies yet they are not held accountable for that.
He says when people tell lies on the floor of parliament it creates problems for the whole country.
He says there is need for a proper constitution to be put in place to govern the nation, stating that Zambians cannot continue to allow things go wrong simply because of a weak constitution.
Mr. Chipenzi has further urged government to give the people of Zambia a constitution, stating that it has been long overdue.

Speaker Matibini, and Parliament in general, should summon Chipenzi to account for his utterances that that august institution is engaged in peddling lies.

I thought Chipenzi was intelligent. Kanshi mayooo.
Compare the constitution of UK & its economy.
Compare the constitution of China & its economy.
The talk about the independence of the legislature & Judiciary is also it the current constitution. It is just individuals who are greedy.

Prophecies, signs and wonders and all manner of divine intervention are the expectations of modern church goers who seek anointed pastors to fulfill such demands. The level of deceit, fraud and falsehood to bring continuous supply to these enormous demands is not just incredible but totally unbelievable. Fraudsters and criminals in operation as religious leaders.
