Former Works and Supply Minister Mike Mulongoti has challenged Civil Society organisations to take center stage in educating Zambians on the ongoing constitution making process.
Speaking in an interview with Qfm news, Mr. Mulongoti said there is need to simplify the technical legal language in the document to Zambians in order to allow informed submissions.
He said the whole Constitution making process will not be inclusive if it does not take on board views of the general populace.
Mr. Mulongoti further explained that CSOs have a critical role to play in the process and ensure that every Zambian is reached and understands the provision contained in the draft.
He said it will therefore be important for all stakeholders to take advantage e of the extension period to ensure that Zambians access the document and make informed submissions.

why LT is bringing all dull people?How do you bring Mulongoti?Storrela cant even stretch the hand to greet him.Yahhhhh
Why is Mr Mulongoti relevant, he is past it and its difficult to argue that he was any good as a minister
He should jog off. Desperation of a Zambian man
Thanks
Does Mulongoti know the meaning of Civil? What kind of constitution is it that changes every few years?
what is he doing about it..?
NOT ONLY THE CONSTITUTION BUT AN ACTIVE ROLE IN GOVERNANCE AND CIVIC EDUCATION OF THE MASSES…..THEY SHOULD DEMAND THE LEGISLATURE TO BE PRO-PEOPLE. ALSO Don’t drag feet, we need a bill on the constitution road map and time frame,Including the referendum….Not bad idea if a bill to establish POLICY INSTITUTE OF ZAMBIA and THINK TANK were also introduced during this session…..SATA&PF Must Act swiftly, time is running out-4yrs is less ,Â
@Kabompo better, I second you, point on esp ESTABLISHMENT OF “POLICY INSTITUTE AND THINK TANK as  STATE INSTITUTIONS to advance the development agendaÂ
We talk big on LT — I wonder if we can read; read the Draft Constitution. If you’re on LT, chances are the Draft affects you. Affect it while you can.
No one will develop Zambia except ourselves. Start with the constitution.
Only fools cant see sence in what H,E Mike Mulongoti is saying, find life bakolwe dont just blog every hour,
Mulongoti for once i agree with you.Its like all Nothing Going On (NGOs) are afraid of saying anything hoping for an appointment overseas since chapwalala under PF.
Timbukutu, Kachemefye igombe. U smelll cow dang.Â
Making a constitution is way of making money.Why do you give heft allowances to people making the constitution?
