The sixteen opposition political parties that form part of the Grand Coalition advocating for the enactment of the new constitution have observed that the Patriotic Front Government is still not prepared to give the people of Zambia a people driven constitution.

Spokesperson of the sixteen political parties in the Grand Coalition Jevan Kamanga said this is despite the change in the leadership at the Ministry of Justice where Edgar Lungu is now the new Minister.

Reverend Kamanga who is also NAREP National Secretary said all the signs are still showing that the Patriotic Front government is not willing to give the Zambian people a constitution that will stand the test of time before 2016.

Rev. Kamanga said they expected that during the opening of the National Assembly last week, President Michael Sata will give a clear road map on the constitution making process.

Rev. Kamanga however said the Grand Coalition will do everything possible to have a new constitution enacted before 2016.

He said government should not worry about the resources for the enactment of a new constitution, stating that there is so much money in the country, adding some donors are willing to fund the process.

  1. The PF will never give us a PEOPLE DRIVEN CONSTITUTION; because I think there are things there that will be the downfall of their party, but we must push on to demand for the new constitution.
