The Chronology of Deception; and The Drama of Folly and Shame]: Zambia will have a people-driven Republican Constitution in 90 days of the PF assuming power and it shall be enacted through a referendum [The PF Manifesto, today and before 2011]; We will enact a new people-driven Republican Constitution within 90 days [President Michael Sata, National Assembly, 2011];
Zambia does not need a new Republican Constitution; We already have one [President Sata, Mansa, 2013]; Any citizen talking about a new Republican Constitution should be ignored [President Sata, State House, 2014]; President Sata and the PF have lied to the people of Zambia on the Republican Constitution and will pay for this [Catholic Church, 2014]; Catholic Church in Zambia notifies the Pope at the Vatican over threats by President Sata to a bishop of unspecified consequences for campaigning for a new Republican Constitution [Catholic Church, April 2014];
Zambia will need K15 million to enact the new Republican Constitution as citizens demand and the legal process alone will take not less than 15 months; a process that cannot be completed before 2016; Cooperating Partners warned to show similar commitment to Zambia’s development programs as they are showing towards the enactment of the new Republican Constitution [Wynter Kabimba, Choma, 5 April 2014];
President Sata blames the West [Read Cooperating Partners] for Africa’s [Read Zambia’s] problems [President Sata, Belgium, April 2014]; The drama continues! I am sure that your mind boggles. Mr Kabimba has drawn a line between our Republican Constitution and national development. Are the two not related? Are the two different as our Justice Minister Mr Kabimba thinks? Shouldn’t this learned man, an attorney-at-law, know better?
About the Author: Dr. Canisius Banda is a medical doctor by profession and now a politician serving as Vice president for Politics for the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND)
Then they say he is State Counsel when he doesn’t understand the constitution and its purpose and how it is a prerequisite for development.
I now wonder whether PF cadres were made in the same image as the rest of the human race… They don’t seem to have brains… They can’t even appreciate what the Doc. is bringing to the fore in this article… Is Zambia a cursed nation?
Kuwayawayafye by Dandy……what a song！
PF and it’s leaders thrive on lies. We shall hold them accountable for all their lies no matter what! They have taken us for granted but we shall meet them squarely in the ballot box. Enough is enough with pathological liars!
life is about change you trained as a medical DR today you are in politics. you were criticizng HH today you are defending him.MMD was your darling but today your X. The truth is Sata will deliver our constitution DR
Yu are right my brother. It is just these idiots to look as if they are the ones that brought the idea.
WE have made no attempt at uplifting the way we think about ourselves as a people…it looks as if its very hard and the reason is that the governors have never shared power with the people and that is where the constitution comes in……we must tell ourselves that we shall share power and by so doing we shall come out of third world foolishness……today our constitution empowers leaders to take advantage of the citizens and encourages the citizens not to think hard…..
Pf cadres like are brainwashed, you cant even differentiate between lies and change. Sata with his lies have brought more poverty in the country, you can’t even see pf lies, am sure sata have paid you heavely for you to stop reasoning & say such nonsense. We want the constitution like yesterday! Wake up!
