The opposition United Party for National Development has called on republican President Michael Sata to urgently address the Constitution Instability that has characterized the Country since Independence.
UPND Deputy Spokesperson Edwin Lifwekelo observed that there are many unresolved questions of interest to the public that remain hanging which the current Executive needs to resolve concerning the constitution.
The UPND Assistant Spokesperson says the Nation deserves to be informed to avoid unhealthy speculations and rumors thereby noting that it is unfortunate that the Patriotic Front PF Government has departed and relaxed on its commitment to uphold the fundamental tenants of democracy, good governance and the rule of law.
He further stated that the current government promised the people of Zambia a number of things prior to the 2011 General Elections among them stabilizing the Constitution instability which he said has characterized the Country since Independence.
And Mr. Lifwekelo urged the Zambia Police Service to accord equal opportunities to the opposition and Civil Society Organizations to conduct their activities peacefully.
Mr. Lifwekelo says the unfair restrictions of people’s liberties using the Public Order Act are a breeding dangerous discontent.
He further observed that the Public Order Act is both repressive and anachronistic in interpretation by the Police and must be repealed as Zambians get an impression that they were used like toilet issue by the PF Government.
These useless PF MPs and USELESS Cabinet ministers cannot even vote for a roadmap or hold a real Cabinet meeting! And the brain dead excuse for a joke of a President who is incapable of even holding a press conference.
And you want them to fix the CONSTITUTIONAL INSTABILITY ???????
You are dreaming. It cannot happen with SATA in State House.
Unless you want an “ANIMAL DRIVEN CONSTITUTION” !!!
Poor Lifwekelo. Always jumping from political party to political party. By now Lifwekelo would have been a kanabesa of some kind, but for his irrational mien.
Truly UPND, HH, Lifwekelo & all progressive Zambians are doing a fantastic job for this country. They are true Citizens. But the problem we have is that we have a Party in power that took no interest in our Constitution making process right from the beginning; they had refused to take part when late Levy Mwanawasa started the process/the sittings. They boycoted even just to make submissions!!! They walked out!! After Levy died they changed their campaign tune & crafted it to fool all of us that they supported the process. To fool us further & delay the process, when they came to power they appointed a Technical Committee. Two years later they have shown their true colours; their true intentions; their dislike & true stance; their true hate for the general Zambians; their lack of love for…
Good to hear the voice of Edwin, i thought he is dead after that illness, reserver your last days of yours days doing Gods work. Politics is so dirty.
ELSE WE FORGET, “Forum Executive Director Edwin Lifwekelo told ZANIS in a statement that Michael Sata and UPND president Hakainde Hichilema have allegedly become perpetual alarmists. Mr. Lifwekelo said the duo risked becoming irrelevant to the nation’s hope and aspirations.”
