The Constitutional Technical Committee says it has not incorporated gay rights in the draft constitution.
Chairperson Annel Silungwe says it is up to Zambians to make submissions on whether or not to include gay rights in the constitution.
Justice Silungwe was speaking in Lusaka on Saturday during discussion on the first draft constitution. He also stated that the draft constitution has not provided for the establishment of Human Rights Courts.
Justice Silungwe has stated that issues pertaining to human rights shall be handled by the Constitutional Courts
Meanwhile, Justice Silungwe has noted that despite having a status of running mate the Vice President will be amenable to be removed by the party’s disciplinary committee if he violates the constitution.

Bwana Silungwe i hope you got that statement cleared by Mumembe, please dont get an editorial to yourself over this issue.
This is Mumembe’s flagship project in that country.
Silungwe is Gay.
Who needs them b******y gay rights in Zambia, ala! What is Silungwe’s problem?
Hon Silungwe, please don’t be subdued by critics for this gay issue is not only inhuman but ungodly as well. We are a christian nation and should therefore live by the teachings of the bible. By the way, anyone ever seen male or female lions, cows, dogs, chickens humping their same sex? This is not a god ordained undertaking. People out of lust have opted to defy the teachings of the almighty just for self satisfaction. I would rather differ with a fellow human being than the creator and giver of life. You are right on former chief justice on this one.
All sins are Ungodly and none is greater or smaller all sins are equal.
Lets not try to criticise one another. One’s strength is another’s weakness.Let’s help those who are in this situation than telling lies.And remember Zambia is not a “Christian Nation” it was named by the late President Chiluba.Do you know Why? He did that so that he can be spared once he stops ruling after the damages he did when he was running as the president and it happened. Open your eyes and you will see that it’s not a Christian nation.
By the way, that’s why God creator one man and one woman and blessed them to be fruitful. God is never wrong.
rubbish
Rise n Shine, unless you sleep with a fellow man and and a non believer in God, this would be rubbish to you. Walimonako bamukolwe bekabeka bale ngasha insele iwe? This act is inhuman for God created a man and a woman for a purpose. Keep rubbishing him. Alalopola and there’s no recourse if you willfuly and intentionally break his biblical laws.
u guyz can argue all day long about homosexuality.i trully think this issue has all to do with culture a lot.I study in cuba, i for one have gay frends and i do understand how they feel and the stigmatisation they get from pipo.My only concern is for pipo not to judge cos they are humans aswell……bendiciones…
Jonijo, let those gay rights stay with you in Cuba then. Â Chapwa!
So what’s wrong with Gay rights?
Nothing.Â
What is the point of gay rights? Why is your justice answering a question no one is asking you?
Since you have interests, you should not be leading this tech committee.
 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.Proverbs 14:34
Ka Chipimo this is your opportunity to come out we kapuba!
Zambians have rejected homosexuality. So, don’t ask for submisions you Silungwe.
If (and that is a big if) our constitution incorporates in gay rights, it must be made unequivocal that gays will not be entitled to human rights, because they are not human, that’s why they want their own set of rights… simple…
Sata has received a lot of money for guy campaign that is the reason this guy is remainding that it shall be included.
Don’t forget Sun-day worshiper so that Jesus can come we are tire of u blue-sheet.
Your intellectual capability is less than that of pond life!
Don’t bash Silungwe guys muletontokanya! He did not just start talking about this from nowhere, he was being asked questions by the damn journalists on specific provisions of the draft! There are some rogues with reverse hormones who keep bringing the issue up on various fora, like on the constitutional website, facebook, twitter, phones, radio and stuff! LT may not report but these *****s try to bore our stock.
Mwaumfwa ba GUNDIX.
What rights do gay people have?
No rights at all/
So, to reiterate our stance as Zambians, WE HAVE SAID NO, TO GAYS AND THEIR WRONGS! We don’t want Ban Ki Moon kingdom in Zambia. This is Zambia, the real Africa. We must never copy wrong things. Any of those males with female hormones are ABNORMAL and must be treated as such. We can just feed them to crocodiles at Kalimba farms and in L/stone when we identify them.
Funny. Abanakashi bale bankimoona abanakashi banabo yashani iyo? Mathematically, Pen+Vag=Ordained Sexual Right. Nike, ichongedwe…
Even if you choose other styles like Pen+Mout or Pen+An, the two participants must carry on their bodies the basic items of being male or female. They can choose to rest their treasures and reverse the conception formula if they want. But they must pass first as male and female couple.
don’t we all have the same rights? name them if you like but we all enjoy the same human rights, but why do “gay people” always want extra rights. democracy is simply the rule of the majority by the majority and for the majority, in Zambia the majority don’t want these so called gay rights therefore there is no need to bring them into the constitution that is suppose to reflect the will of the majority of Zambians. homosexuality is a sin and therefore it should be practiced in hiding just like any other sin, if its a right then why can’t one  have a right to marry his daughter if she is of mature age, they have the right to be together, they are consenting adults, even marry your mom if u like. there something very wrong with so called gay rights. no gay rights in Zambia!Â
the pfost will submit somehow..hahahah
@ Pulamasaka. Like I said to your mate SC. Your intellectual capabilities are less than that of pond life!
Zambians do not accepted homosexuality at all cost world wide 99.5% of world humanity they do not gay rights emotionally ,psychologically,medically and socially.
However , Zambian men should right to marry minimum one wife and a maximum of three wives

Gay rights in Zambia and world wide. Sadly not in public please. I dont judge gay people its a dissability, so I respect their weirdness, they have been born like that they cant help being who they are. You can not help falling for whom you fancy. you like same sex or you like opposite sex thats fine. some like it hot, some like it cold, some like young some like old, some like black some like orange…………….. its alright.
Chief Justice Annel Silungwe – some names should remain like that – long llive. Respect.
we need gay rights in the constitution, zambia has 30% gays and lesbians, more gays are from the bemba land. VIVA man to man, woman to woman
