This is a LIVE video streaming of a constitution stakeholders meeting being held by the Civil Society Constitution Coalition (CSCC) in Chingola.

The Civil Society Constitution Coalition (CSCC) is a group of like-minded Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) who have initiated a process to provide a coordinated and meaningful participation of civil society on issues related to the National Constitution Making process. It aims to promote a deeper understanding of Constitutional reform issues, reach a broader consensus regarding proposals for amendments or revisions and jointly undertake some advocacy activities and mobilization of citizen’s participants around the Constitution-making process. The group consists of local CSOs working on various issues ranging from human rights, poverty, governance, health among others.

The coalition is holding a district strategic meeting (in Chingola) to discuss the Draft Constitution and Guidelines for the formal consultation to be conducted by the Technical committee in all the districts in Zambia. This is one among many district meetings held in various provinces around the country.

According to the program released by the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR), who are coordinating CSCC activities, the meeting is covering Proportional Representation (PR), The Bill of Rights, further rights for women and technical committee guidelines for conventions.

Lusakatimes is supporting this initiative by streaming this as a Beta Test and if successful this could be extended to streaming other live events happening in Zambia

As usual there are always losers and petty people like number 1.

I think this is interesting and I hope you guys don’t switch off the camera as the speaker is suggesting. I think as Zambians we need to learn to speak freely, over 47 years after independence we are still behaving like we are scared of colonial masters and we have to hold dark corner meetings

Let freedom reign and let the people speak freely and please don’t switch off the camera , we want to see the emotions too.

Advice to a very good idea & effort:
1) Locate camera in same direction as light is coming from
2) Adjust focus as a long poorly focused video tends to very taxing in trying to concentrate!

Keep it up, we look forward to when we can participate via links such as “Skype.”
