Oasis agrees to meet ZCID

Share

THE Oasis Forum has agreed to meet the Zambia Centre for Inter-party Dialogue (ZCID) to discuss the Constitution making process.
Forum spokesperson, Musa Mwenye and ZCID spokesperson, Newton Ng’uni confirmed the development in separate interviews in Lusaka yesterday.
The decision to meet the ZCID was made by the Forum after a meeting on Saturday.
Mr Mwenye said the Forum would meet the ZCID at 15:00hours today to resolve certain issues regarding the Constitution making process.
“We reiterate our position to meet the ZCID at 15:00hours today so that we can highlight to them the fact that we are where we are today over the Constitution making process because politicians hijacked the process,” Mr Mwenya said.
Mr Ng’uni said, “I can confirm that the Oasis Forum communicated to our executive director about today’s meeting. We shall meet them and hear what their grievances are over the constitution making process.”
Last week, Mr Ng’uni said it was vital to engage the Forum because it represented various groupings among them the church, and the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ), which were cardinal in the enactment process of the new constitution.
“The Oasis Forum is an important group with vast experience and so its role in the Constitution making process cannot be ignored,” Mr Ng’uni said.
Mr Mwenye last week also stated that the Forum was ready to be engaged by the ZCID over the Constitution making process.
