GOVERNMENT has assured the nation that the Constitution will be delivered according to the wishes of people.
Acting Minister of Justice Edgar Lungu told Parliament yesterday that there should be no fear that the document will be doctored.
He was responding to a question from Lubansenshi Member of Parliament Patrick Mucheleka (Independent), who wanted to know whether the draft constitution will be submitted to the President and members of the public simultaneously.
“There is no fear whatsoever in us. We were elected by the people and this document [Constitution] is for the people,” Mr Lungu said.
Senga Hill Member of Parliament (MMD) Kapembwa Simbao said he is not certain whether or not the submissions of the people would be safe if the document is first submitted to the President before the public.
“Will our submissions be safe? Will they not be manipulated?” Mr Simbao asked.
Mr Simbao’s views were supported by Chembe MP, Mwansa Mbulakulima (MMD), who expressed fear that the document might be doctored.
But Mr Lungu maintained that the PF wants a people-driven constitution.
He said there is no need for anyone to fear that the constitution may be altered.

PF carders are gathering at the Lusaka District Office. I hope we will not be disturbed today.
What happened to kabimba for kaminamisa Lungu to act as justice minister? Somebody fill me in please
he is in the Americas
We told them that PF is going to deliver and here we are doing the best things for Zambia
Where is that Kabimba? I hope he has been deleted.
I was wondering the same, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has been secrectly removed as is typical of this Bemba Government
LOL
Edgar to continue as Justice Minister until constitution making process is complete. Though is a drunk at least his mind stays on the job.
Totally agreed. Had this been Wynter, we would have been insulted left, right and center…we would have been told we know nothing and only he can understand it…
You remind me of that former Minister in MMD… there is no shortage of similar characters in every dispensation.
@ Viva Chanda Chimba
How can you tell blatant lies and make such ridiculous accusations even when you know that we also have been around to see things for ourselves. You should be shamed of yourself. If you are man enough just say openly why you hate Kabimba; It is cowardice to accuse him of things he has not done just for you to try and involve others in your hatred trip. Enjoy your hate train. The president on the other hand knows him better.
It will be cooked
No. There is very little which this out going T.C. has added or deducted from the previous NCC draft. I remember Shikapwa enjoying good naps during the proceedings stating that it was just same draft being proof read.
I hope PF govt don’t deliver a still born baby due to all the stress,infighting and denial of the right political nutrition that mother zambia has been subjected to the last 2yrs.
Ba LT, how do you just say ‘Acting Justice Minister’ without even bothering to tell us where the Minister is?
the minister is in south america
Thank you
Where is the Forth Republican party president….. The goodness with HEMCS is that he never announces removal of his comrades, just quitly replaces them.
He who laughs last laughs the best they say. Lubinda, Dr Lungu, Mr Zulu SC, let’s pop the champagnee to this.
Its long overdue Wynter must go
We tune to WDZ for more news. There is no News here
you are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!maybe they will tell us what has happened to Kabimba. It seems in PF gov everything is Donchi Kubeba…..
@ Italian,
Am back from ZWD, actually same menu, different ingredients only with much more Pikante (hot spices) making your eyes abit teary which makes it abit uncortable and difficult to enjoy the food, i think am going to stick to this menu on LT, their spices are recognisable and well flavoured!
meant to say uncomfortable.
Abena wynter ati shani,tamulelandauka nomba washani iyo ima ziii
This is how it started with Lubinda. Kabimba it is now your time to dance pelete.
LT please do us justice by telling us where the fourth Republican part president is where about, otherwise you will live us with no option but to speculate that he has gone to Nigeria to seek spiritual intervention or worse still crossing to Congo for meter Physics intervention. May be HE has withdrawn instruments of power from him? so please tell us.
PLEASE LET US KNOW THE WERE A BOUTS OF KABIMBA. BUSHE ALIKWISA?
Zambian Watchdog shared the following link and had this to say about it:
EMMANUEL MWAMBA BLOCKS GOVT JOURNALISTS FROM ACCOMPANYING KABIMBA TO EL SAVALDOR
Information Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Mwamba has instructed that no journalist from government media should accompany Wynter Kabimba to Latin America.
Kabimba is currently in San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador to observe the 31st Plenary Meeting of organisation of Latin and Central American political parties (COPPPAL).
‘Our colleagues from the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) are also here. We shall take this opportunity to lay grounds for a latter meeting to discuss the uniting of political parties in Africa, Asia and Latin and Central Central America. We want to foster unity so that…
Eeeeehh Now you Wynter, I don’ t know why I am here. You are fired and i am eeeh sending out indefinitely to go and consolidate your party.
You are not telling the truth Lungu. PF is a govt of hidden agenda, explain the increasing of executive salaries without informing the nation? Only a few can trust your words any more.
Do you my friend understand to any degree how the salary increament process works?? Have you heard any MP including the opposition MPs protesting or they are all quiet??
explain how it works. Why do you want the opposition to complain when they are benefiting as well. How come the process for the executive works well and not for the ordinary workers?
About a week ago Wynter Kabimba also assured the nation,(not for the first time),that a people-driven constitution will be delivered to the Zambian people.Let’s hope the PF will not try to fool us,because if they play dirty tricks along the way,they will face stiff resistance.
Good governance,human rights,economic progress etc will depend on a constitution which will stand the test of time.
Let up support third republic its federal policies. Eastern state to ruled by Mangani. Copper belt to be governed by Kambwili . Northern prov governed by GBM. Southern state by HH. Northern west by Steve Masumba. Western state by Litunda
The fourth republic is way to go. Kabimba is a genius. Let us stuport his party and end tribal talk
There is a hidden agenda behind this Fourth Republic Party. I just hope it will not add fire to the rebels against the state in Western Province.
Goodson banda was fired silently.I hope Winter is not treated the same.PF pliz act in the public interest.we dont need tuma secrete bungwe.yaaah koma
Agree, lets go to ZWD for more news on.
Am now curious, let me follow as well so i can make my own judgement, ZWD whats on the menu today?
Not even half baked, but quarter baked news. Better to face to ZWD. These guys unearth deep rooted news!
But the minister in the photo looks drunk, and where is the PF news maker? Kabibmba? Wikale ukokwine wile?
My Lungu, i shall believe when i see it!
No dual citizenship. We do not want it now. We want to prosecute Ambassador to Turkey.
We do not want 50% +1 now.
PF will do just the opposite. Three Cheers.
Believe You?
Kodi a Wynter Kabimba ali khuti acibhale?
“GOVERNMENT has assured the nation that the Constitution will be delivered according to the wishes of people.”
Is this the constitution that is supposed to be delivered in 90 days? So, it was lie; wasn’t it?
grow up!
constitution, what constitution?
Yes there is no constitution to deliver to the people at the moment. The final draft has not even been submitted to the people.
lubinda was being left behind pama trip ififine.silent replacement,atlist edgar is handling the iss of the constitution,if there is any doctoring,then its the inclusion of the free tap beer clause! bravo edgar!
newsflash,our beloved minister has gone on the ground 2 consolidate his party 4th republic.am destined 2 be the new sg,,all new members like pinching hapunda are extremely welcome.
kekekekekkee..ba pf mwawa..atase..
Bawa shanî ba pf naimwa? Pf will be scoaring while u hallucinate
Anyone with half a mind knows that Wynter is off hiding bribes or receiving cash bribes from Trafigura. He doesn’t want anyone track bank transfers in 2016.
