Government has assured the Zambian people that the country will have a constitution that will reflect the calls and wishes of the masses.

Justice Minister, Wynter Kabimba, reiterated that government is not going to have a hand to manipulate the process of the constitution-making process as it wants justice and fairness to prevail for all Zambians to have their voices heard and respected.

In an interview with ZANIS at his office, Mr Kabimba emphasised that the Patriotic Front (PF) government wants to see a constitution that is people-driven and not one which is government inclined.

He said Zambia will not at any time import into the constitution any foreign material but will stand in support of what the citizens will desire.

He further disclosed that yesterday he had a fruitful meeting with the Technical Committee on Drafting the Zambian Constitution.

And Mr Kabimba, who is also PF Secretary General, maintained that his party is still being strengthened in all the ten provinces across the country.

  1. And so it should be.Hope you will walk the talk and not try to include Ban Ki moons views and philosophies.

  2. Sorry summer shivering i dont believe you, you have never kept a promise in your life, infact if you promised that you will not respect people’s wish there would have been a better chance of you respecting our wishes.

  3. hakainyenga hichilenya will die by next year after seeing what we will do to this country sir. and give him a national mourning

  4. no3 KAI GRAD. i supose you should go and participate in the barotseland constitution since your hakainyenga hichilenya was reported given the litungaship by the litunga last week since you cant comprehend what our minister is saying mambala iwe

  5. opening the mouth and talk what people want to hear is very easy and very cheep! anyway this is zambian politics where politicians speak differently and act differently. recently this same man said NO PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE today he is talking about including the views of the zambian people, PLEASE.

    • He said Zambia will not at any time import into the constitution any foreign material but will stand in support of what the citizens will desire. @millsz.com  to him that is imported

  6. Sychic ing us to be Docile. Zambians let us hold these people accountable. This is the same Wynter “Maize” Kabimba who said PF never promised Jobs in 90 days. what the hell was SATA promising even at Swearing In ceremony???? about the 90 days un workable theory!!!!

    Zambians Policians take us for a ride. It happened in Libya until they rose up and took out the Dictator. It happened in Egypt and Tunisia. Similary under way in Syria.

  7. Hon Minister of Justice Hon W.M.K we stand by you and give you all our support, we need a people driven constitution and we should not be driven by the foreign forces to incude in our laws legalising gay. this practice is immoral and so it will remain immoral. Well keep focused we have hope in you

  8. Aba bena today winter this the other day winter that. Does he check what he said in the past or these guys are good at politicking even when they are in gvt now?
    Why are the  others vocal pf fools quite now? All are tired of promises but wants action. Winter you will make PF unpopular with your contradictory rantings. PF =professional Failures

  9. His random statements are enough to conclude that, the man is incapable at occupying 2 positions.

    He is a Justice Minister, PF/Government spokeman somehow, Financial analyst, Lusaka Lawyer

    It is as thought he is the vice president. What do they say about ‘A jack of many trades’…..But then again I am probably talking to people beneath me academically and intellectally

    Thanks

  10. Let us hope so. However, in African countries north of the Limpopo river a constitution does not mean anything as far as those in power are concerned. Yet you cry for permanent seat on the UN Security Council. What jokers!!!

  11. #16 it does not mean dual citizenship it means people driven. As it stands now the people that have submitted against dual citizenship, 50+1, running mate are more that those that want it. So it is unlikely we will have them. No one has submitted anything on gay marrieges so same sex marriege still reads as illigal. Personally I am happy with it so far.

  12. Don’t cheat people,ba Winter.Every time we have constitutional review meetings you guy(PF) have stopped showing up.We usually plead just for you to attend, and when you do you make sure you shoot down everything that Zambian people want.We used to be together in these meetings when you were in opposition, and few weeks after winning elections.But nomba mwaliluba(you have disappeared) guys.After your skins started smoothening up and you started growing fat, then,ngwa ngwa ngwa, you disappeared.Now you want to pretend you are doing something about the constitution.

  13. It is clear that we want the running mate clause, dual citizenship, no to homos like fred, etc. I hope you wont start explaining in the near future again about this.

  14. Ba Kabimba, what you are doing now is what we call ‘dirty politics’.As Hon. Minister of Justice, you pretend to love the Zambian people and their new constitution; but yet as Secretary General of your party ,you instruct PF members not to attend meetings to do with the same new constitution.Hypocrisy of the worst kind.Shame on you and your party.

  15. ‘He further disclosed that yesterday he had a fruitful meeting with the Technical Committee on Drafting the Zambian Constitution’

    The devil is in that sentence. What he really means by ‘fruitful’ is that the committe budged to his demands to include what pleases him.

    Why are they holding meetings with Kabimba when their job is simply to draft the constitution? Submission phase already passed and the committe should stop hosting suspicious meetings with Kabimba -who can only represent partisan PF interests.

  16. No.13. twala ifimano fyabutonga kumush chilaka, wechimwana changwele. you proved to be a product of the mixture of a criminal and a prostitute, thus not worth wasting time on, idiod lyobe chikala

    • So how can you turn around and say the tongas are the ones who are tribal?
      I know you wont accept it but you sound like you have incurable tribalism….

  17. we want 50 +1 in our constitution its only PF as a party which is against it. the majority of the Zambians supported it in all the constitution review commissions. you can reject if you want. had Rupiah banda included it he was still going to be president today.as PF, you can leave it if you want and it will work against you in 2016

  18. Please Mr Kabimba, I am begging your indulgence on this serious matter. Do not forget to include some of who different in your constitution. You this is a modern world and we should be allowed to live a life of our choice on sex and marriage. Please sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • pastor only interested in sex matters? you are the people who in-pregnant all the women in the congregation. oh the other issue pastor try to enroll in a night school your grammar is pathetic. how do you read scriptures in your church?

  19. please dont include barotseland on your constitution because we are not part of it and our veiws were rejected by your committee.we shall have our own contitution barotse state.

  20. Constitution by the people, which people. Always in the Mood for Jokes.
    why even bother doing another constitution in the first place when all it does is put ABSOLUTE POWER in the hands of ONE PERSON the president. Zambia a failed state through and through.

  21. Thanks for the recommendations shared in your blog. Another thing I would like to convey is that losing weight is not information about going on a fad diet and trying to get rid of as much weight as possible in a couple of weeks. The most effective way to shed weight is by consuming it gradually and following some basic recommendations which can provide help to make the most from the attempt to drop some weight. You may learn and already be following some tips, yet reinforcing expertise never hurts.
