People should forget about a people driven constitution – Milupi

Alliance for Democracy and Development (ADD) Leader Charles Milupi says he does not see the country having a people driven constitution in the absence of a legal framework.

Mr. Milupi says a legal framework in the constitution making process would have given the Zambian people ultimate control of the process including adoption of the constitution through a referendum.

He says it is unfortunate that Justice Minister has indicated that there is no budget for the referendum two years after the constitution review process was commenced.

Mr. Milupi says this is a clear indication that the PF is not being sincere in the constitution making process.

  1. Cosmos, mulongoti and Milupi should not talk politics, they are almost irrelevant. Speak truths like Miyanda please.

  2. whats wrong with Zambians , 49 yrs and u haven’t evolved, too stupid to be fooled by *****s, u vote them in and u for problems , wasted 49 yrs and most likely the coming 51yrs wont achieve much so, even the next Generation will celebrate 100yrs of nothing….. Well done..

  3. Good for the opposition as 2016 draws near. It will be one of the reasons why we wont vote for PF.

  4. It is amazing that Milupi expected something different in the first place. This is a constitution written by experts among them a chief from Mupika district.

  5. Yes Prime Minister, nothing moves but things do move at an appropriate appointed time in the inestimable but predictable future as the people’s desire expressed in the past.

  6. I wish to advise Charles Milupi that he should abandon his defeatist stance when dealing with dictator Michael Sata.Whether Sata likes it or not the people of Zambia will one day have a republican constitution which will bring about good governance.Milupi should cooperate with the other opposition leaders to stop Sata’s dictatorship.Working in isolation won’t help matters.

  7. I am surprised that Mr Milupi entertains the hope that this regime will still perform miracles in good governance, when we all know the truth that this executive can’t perform, not exluding others before it! Zambians have simply failed to govern themselves, on account of selfishness (as opposed to individualism) and hunger for power. Zambia is too politised.

    Good governance should start from individuals, as villages, through to the districts, regional and then national level. As long as we dream of super-human heads of state, who are omnipotent, forget about development. Charity begins at home! Mr Milupi must start showing his leadership in Barotseland which should be a shining example to all. Zambia is too vast to be led by one man at Lusaka. We need more presidents at various…
