CHIEF Government spokesperson Joseph Katema says he is not aware of any draft bill to enact a new constitution as alleged by the grand coalition for a people-driven constitution.
Dr Katema who is also Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services said in an interview on Wednesday that he has not seen any bill on the new constitution.
“I am not aware as Chief Government Spokesperson. Stop rumour mongering,” he said
Grand Coalition chairman Leonard Chiti said at a press briefing on Tuesday that the group is certain that there is a draft bill titled, `The Constitution of Zambia Bill, 2014 for the enactment of a new Constitution’.
Father Chiti said there is no mention of a referendum in the purported bill.
“Our major concern is that since 1973, all changes to the constitution have been made through a government bill passed through Parliament.
The ultimate decision as to what is contained in the constitution has been left with politicians who have their own interests to serve and the Zambian people have been cheated of the right of their own destiny,” he said
Breakfast lies, Lunch lies, Evening lies, how can you build a country with so much Potential ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I loathe Katema but this government is better off with PF than without it.
Just my humble opinion.
Thanks

Is it true PF will cut and remove civil servants salaries after winning election as purported by ZWD news?
am not sure this chiti is a catholic priest, why make wild statements at a time like this. Grand coalition full of single women seeking men attention all the time.
The trouble with This minister Katema and his colleagues is that he has told so many lies within the short period of time that he has been government spokesperson that one cannot believe anything that he says. In fact when he denies something then it is real. It’s too early for people to forget that not too long ago he assured us that president Sata was well and performing his duties when the poor fellow was actually lying on his death bed. Just one of the lies, but truth be said he has never said anything truthful since PF assumed power. Truth is not in his vocabulary.
