The Constitution Grand Coalition chairperson Father Leonard Chiti says the Coalition is encouraged that members of the Patriotic Front PF recognizes the importance of the constitution and wants to join the crusade pressuring government to release the draft constitution.

The clearly amused chairperson said it was encouraging that some PF members in Eastern Province fund the meetings that the coalition had in Chipata over the weekend useful and regretted that they did not invite them.

He said the meetings are non partisan and has a common agenda and goal of ensuring that a people driven constitution is enacted without further delay hence PF members are welcome to join as the constitution is for Zambians which the PF members are part of.

“Its an open campaign, we have one goal which is to see a new constitution enacted and its a constitution for the republic of Zambia and not a particular group of citizens so we are happy to know that the PF in Eastern Province realizes this and wants to join”.

He said the coalition was happy to note that the PF realizes that the call for the release of the constitution is a national agenda and not a partisan one and that everyone is welcome to join.

The Fr Chiti however cautions the PF members wishing to join the crusade to join in sincerity and not with
intentions of causing confusion in the coalition.

“I hope they came in sincerity and participate whole heartedly cause if they are complaining that they have been left out then its a sign that they want to be part of the movement”.

He further apologized for not inviting them and said that the coalition will not hesitate to invite the PF members who want to join the coalition during their next meeting.

Fr Chiti was reacting to reports that Lameck Mangani the losing PF candidate in the Chipata central by election complained that PF members were not invited to the player meetings held by the Constitution Grand Coalition in Chipata over the weekend.

  1. No, we can not invite Mr Lameck Mangani and PF cadres because GOD
    told us, that they are not in his good books.
    Who are we to disobey GOD?
    No Mr Lameck Mangani, no invitation for you and your friends.
    Chapwa

  2. Be careful with the leopard in a sheep skin. The pf refused and rejected this same issue in parliament. Let these pf cadres declare their interest by openly leaving pf so that we march together in one style with one accord.
