The constitution making process should be taken serious by all those privileged to be part. Zambians let us learn serious lessons from the just ended elections in Kenya. Particular attention be paid to: Independence of Judiciary, Electoral Commission, National Assembly (e.g. Cabinet outside parliament, by election issues); Presidential elections: 50% plus 1, 2-3 weeks lag before swearing in to allow for settlement of disputes; Human rights: Health, Education, rights of child; Local governance.
