The Technical Committee drafting the republican constitution have refuted the comments attributed to Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba that they did not write to him about the one month extension.

Speaking at a media briefing today , the committee spokesperson Ernest Mwansa said that the committee duly responded to the request by the Minister and communicated to the Minister on June 12, 2013

“The Technical Committee wishes to clarify media statements attributed to the Minister of Justice, Wynter Kabimba, which seems to suggest that The Committee has neglected to submit a revised programme of work covering the proposed one month extension.

We want to put it on record that as a Committee, we duly responded to the request made by the Minister of Justice for us to condense the remaining activities in a programme of work which terminates on July,31, 2013,” Mr Mwansa said.

He said the Committee had tailored a revised programme of work following internal consultations and this had been communicated to Mr Kabimba as of June 12, 2013.

Yesterday government said that it had not yet received a letter from the technical committee on drafting the Constitution requesting for a one month extension.

“I have just been hearing about this one month request. I have not yet received this request myself.

“The government’s position is that it will only respond to this matter upon seeing this request and of course with full consultation from the Ministry of Finance,” Mr Kabimba said.

  1. it’s now a case of ‘she said’ ‘he said’ ‘they said’ and this is the constitution we are talking about!

    ” Welcome to Zamunda “

  2. How long does it take for a minister to read a letter? Letter was written on June 12th and 13 days later, you still haven’t read the letter? This is a clear sign of inefficiency and lack of seriousness at the ministerial level. What other matters was he attending to if he can’t read read such an important letter? The President must release Wynter Kabimba of his duties.

  3. MOST PF mini-stars they amuse me like TOYI TOMATO. They are using Four Fs
    find them
    friend them
    finish them
    and f,,,,, them
    How can you serious issue an founded statement like that to the Nations. They think like they are talking to their children or dependants

  4. This cho-chise is a planned move imwe ba kaponya.

    Just submit the constitution document we enact it ala.

    The move now is to disband the committee so that presido can appoint a new committee which will start the mandate afresh. we know you alase!

    • Technical committee: “twalibatumina inkalata ba Kabimba”
      Kabimba: “awe ine nshapokapo inkalata”
      Technical committee: “awe twalibatumina, belakana ati tabapoka inkalata”
      Kabimba: “awe ine nshaimona inkalata”

  5. Technical committee: “twalibatumina inkalata ba Kabimba”
    Kabimba: “awe ine nshapokapo inkalata”
    Technical committee: “alachishinka twalibatumina inkalata, belabepa ati tabapoka”
    Kabimba: “awe tabalemba inkalata”

  6. People like Kabimba don’t respect the public offices they hold. It is the same with his boss. In civilised countries people who hold public offices are expected to be dignified and truthful in their interaction with the public they purport to serve.

  7. This indeed as become a country of baboon and monkeys…. a constitution is the pillar of a nation.

    In this case the Baboon does not know what the monkey is doing.

    I honesty think Zambia needs to be colonised again
