The Non Governmental Organization Coordinating Council (NGOCC) board chairperson Beatrice Grillo says the Patriotic Front will be in trouble if it does not deliver a people-driven constitution.

And Mrs. Grillo has appealed to the technical committee drafting the country%u2019s constitution to consider adjusting the extension of the debate on the draft constitution to 30 days and not 50 days.

Speaking at a media conference, Mrs. Grillo says it welcomes the extension of the consultative process because it will be an opportunity for the technical committee to produce copies of the draft constitution in various local languages but notes that the extension of 50 days is too much.

She however expressed confidence that the country will have a good document because the technical committee drafting it has shown commitment.

  1. this is one of the major campaign promises some of us voted these people for and if they fail to give us what we want as a people, what we have craved for the last 20years then they de-campaign them selves for 2016 and we will go all out to ensure they leave office like we did to MMD.

  2. Remember Zambians are dealing with CHIMBWI NO PLAN. Duped Zambians promising to deliver a new constitution within 90 days, no plan we are 250 plus days. Draft constitution was put to the public domain for debate for 30 days, now 50 days, Mr Sata and Kabimba have ruled out dual citizenship and vice president running mate respectively. This is what PF mena when they talk of people driven constitution. It is unacceptable for NGOCC to see this abuse being commited by these two and issue an arm chair warning to PF. Remember the premise on which PF came to power, non of their words have been kept that prompts them to be without plan. NGOCC need to engange actively with PF govt to hnour their words. We now all know PF govt is fast losing general public trust with their perfomance so far.

  3. You are right madam 50days is just too much.These guys should end this quickly but they still want to milk more tax payers money in the name of making a people-driven constitution

    The committee should have also considered giving the draft constitution as an assignment to law students

  4. This consultation is just a money minting scheme. Just draw up the bloody constitution and then people will be ‘consulted’ through a referendum.

  5. CHIMBWI NO PLAN,how on earth can PF make a people driven constitution.PF has failed to manage fuel and electricity supply.Madam NGOCC must be dreaming to expect anything good from these kwacks.! Be informed .

  6. Ha ha Iam enjoying this congratulation to who ever told HH that politics of being soft can never work in Zambia,now he is no longer an under 5 , I love the hammer the baga attitude . Please HH u are in order to use the cimbwi word, have u forgotten Sata called Chanda cimbwi the Third. HH do u know Zambia is now ruled by LESS generation . Ooh what I meant was the guy in state house uses wireless gadgets, he is clueless on how to run a country,youths are jobless,kwacha is worthless,ministers are useless, Zambians are hopeless ,Zesco is powerless pls join and add an word u think ends with less that describe PF 

  7. IT IS SATA WEATHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT “YOU ARE STUCK MY UPND ANGELS” WAIT FOR 2016 IF YOU WILL EVER RULE THIS CONTRY KAYA IT SEEMS YOU DECAMPAIGNING YOURSELVES
    MUMBA OR CHIPIMO ARE BETTER OFF

  8. Iwe chi OCTOPUS PAUL BWALYA, now that your football voodoo, magic were using predicting football results has been discarded by everybody, you want to turn your demons to the president, yapping cowdung like under 5 ichilema
