Civil Society Constitution Coalition has charged that vice president Guy Scott’s remarks on the referendum is a scheme to derail the whole constitution making process.
Civil Society Constitution Coalition Spokesperson Judith Mulenga told QFM News in an interview that Dr. Scott is not being fair to the Zambians by stating that holding a referendum on the constitution will be more costly for government.
Mrs. Mulenga said the civil society understands very well that the government has other priorities that but that these should not be at the expense of holding a referendum on the constitution.
Mrs. Mulenga also wondered how government will ensure that the expanded bill of rights is enshrined in the constitution without a referendum.
She added that government should realize that a referendum is worth holding for any democratic country regardless of its financial implications.
Mrs Mulenga said it is in this regard that civil society organizations will continue to call for the holding of a referendum regardless of government’s position.
But Granpa Scotty is a comedian, I dont take him serious lately, the only tricky part about his sentiments is that he maybe someones mouthpiece who means business and that should make you worried.
You are 100%. wrong. Scott is a player. Very, very good tactician which can plan way ahead.
…an online tabloid like ZWD should NOT be left to continue operating the way they are. Theirs should be shut and keys thrown away in Pit Latrine. They are a serious danger to the Zambian people and country.
The fact that they have continued to write the way you do; insulting an elder statesman; an elected President of a country for that matter, father (and grandfather) is not only taboo in our society but down-right alien to say the least.
Just what do they want to archive by writing the way they are wring? I pity these guys, they have no morals to talk about, shame….
Instead of reading ZWD, read more Post editorials and only then make comment.
A Nkope; in my society it is taboo for an elder and a grandpa to lie and sleep around (father children all over) and disrespect and insult surbordinates. Wonder whether these are also taboos where you come from.
