FDD President Edith Nawakwi says the office of the Deputy Minister became null and void the moment President Lungu assented to the Constitution Bill.
Speaking when she featured on Hot FM radio on Thursday, Ms Nawakwi said Deputy Ministers should vacate their offices because all officers but Deputy Ministers are provided for in the amended constitution.
“The Deputy Minister is effectively not provided for in this constitution, they are seating in our offices illegally. All the the other offices are provided for except that of the Deputy Minister. By virtue of the President signing the new Constitution, their offices became null and void, so what are they doing flying our flags and walking around as Deputy Ministers? These are some of the lacunas and problems that are sitting in a corner as if you are doing a grade 12 exam and you don’t want your friend to copy. This is public office stopping hiding things from the people,” she said.
She accused the PF of not being open about the constitution making process saying President Lungu had refused to meet stakeholders to discuss some of the clauses which have since been left out.
She said the PF had started behaving as if they are the people who started the process when it is the people of Zambia who wanted some rights to be included in the supreme law of the land.
“This is the President who vehemently refused to have any meetings or interactions whether with the church or people like me who wanted to engage them on issues of mutual interest.
“My disappointment is that my President has completely paid a blind eye to the fact that the genesis of this work was about the rights of individuals and especially the youth and women so for him to stand up and say there is no money for them to be MPs I find that totally unacceptable and completely alien to his profession as a lawyer,” she said.
She said with open consultation and dialogue some of the issues being talked about after the constitution has already been signed would not have arisen.
And Ms. Nawakwi has reiterated that the country is economically in a mess because the people entrusted with managing the country are clueless.
She said the PF have no idea on how to run a country hence the economic quagmire the country is facing adding that a government with a clue on what is needed to be done to turn the country around would not continue spending money on things which would not help bring in income.
She further wondered how a normal government would be dormant when there are some signs of drought in number of places in the country.
She said instead of waiting for the disaster government should be making preparatory works to avoid any calamities in places which will be affected by the foreseen drought.
On the Public Order Act Ms Nawakwi said police should stop inconveniencing the opposition because the new Constitution provides for parties to have preliminarily elections before the general elections.
She added that the police should not be selective in the way the apply the law adding that the PF started campaigning the day Edgar Lungu was announced as President because there are cars branded PF and Edgar Lungu for President 2016 all over the country.
MAYO WASOSA. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT ILLITERATE PEOPLE IN POWER BECAUSE THEY DONT READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE SIGNING FOR. WHAT NEXT? THE ANSWER NOW IS TO CHALLENGE THE PRESIDENT TO DISOLVE THE DEPUTY MINISTERS POSITION WITHIN A WEEK AND FAILURE TO THAT LETS APPLY THE LAW TO TAKE THEM OUT.
BA DEPUTY MINISTERS START THINKING TWICE WHAT TO DO IN THE 8 MONTHS REMAINING.
MAYO LET ME TELL YOU THAT PF IS FINISHED BECAUSE ON THE GROUND PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHY SUPPORTING A PART WHICH HAS SIDELINED US WHO WORKED EXTRA HARD TO USHER IT INTO POWER.
Well said Ms Nawakwi.
“The Deputy Minister is effectively not provided for in this constitution, they are seating in our offices illegally. All the the other offices are provided for except that of the Deputy Minister. By virtue of the President signing the new Constitution, their offices became null and void, so what are they doing flying our flags and walking around as Deputy Ministers” asked Nawakwi.
PF’s beseech, very visionless bandits who will be kicked out in 4 months time.
The Skeleton Key
~206~
Can Lungu give a press briefing explaining this please?
No point in sending the fat frog, Kwambili, his Copperstone University education did not cover this eventuality and he will just talk rubbish and make tribal insults again.
This is SERIOUS! If the President fails to act he will be in breach of the Constitution and can be impeached.
I just want to hug Nawakwi
The Deputy Ministerial positions are void and those who are their I trust they no that they dont have any power not even an influence to push people in the Nation except on the position of MPs chinamani.
We are waiting for the speech of the President who signed the constitution what he did not know. By next week we shall start pushing for other resolutions.
‘..By virtue of the President signing the new Constitution, their offices became null and void..’ The moment Ba Edith mentioned ‘the New Constitution’ I knew something was gravely wrong..!
Refer to this, ‘..PART XXII
AMENDMENT OF CONSTITUTION
301. (1) A provision of this Constitution may be
amended in accordance with this Article, Article 302 or 303.
(2) A Bill to amend an Article shall have the sole
purpose of amending that Article and shall not provide for
any other matter.
(4) For the purposes of this Constitution, “amend”
means to replace, vary or add to an Article or group of
Articles but does not include the repeal and replacement of
the entire Constitution.
In this rare occasion, Edith has raised valid and genuine concerns unlike previously when she seemed to attack the persona of Lungu.
VIVA UPND. GO GO HH 2016
What? I bet none of them read the draft they were passing. even LAZ appears not to have read the constitution for what use is their advice after it has been passed already? What country is this?
This constitution is interesting, it bring to the fore some interesting things about us as a People and our education. These are the things that am picking up. Give me a Vote up if you agree
1) Those who were busy screaming for People Driven Document, demanding and vowing to protect the Document DID NOT ACTUALLY READ IT
2) Those who debated the Document and Voted for it in Parliament DID NOT ACTUALLY READ IT
3) Those who finally Signed the Document DID NOT ACTUALLY READ IT either.
What a situation. I this the next challenge now is to produce the constitution that can only fit the 16 characters of the SMS. They can only read text the length of an SMS
Spot on .but if one wants to challenge it s/he has to go to constitution court which currently its none existence as the judges have nt be appointed yet.my understanding is we ar stil using the unamended docu.am sure ecl will argue that the implementation will start after elections
Those who finally signed the document UNDERSTOOD (not just READ) what they were signing for. Refer to their speech on that day…
Besides those who were not for this such as the UPND were called names for having ready! It is true indeed that to hide information from a Zambian is to simply put it in written as many shall not waste time reading. Chabulanda!
Mr MMD Bootsomething, you sometimes amaze people. You’ve been eulogizing all on this forum about the constitution issue but today you sound like you are punching holes in and out. We need not lose sight of what is important for the nation when we discuss policy issues. Individuals and groups said a lot of good staff that needed to be considered but because people who sound like you were against these individuals and groups, now you got what you got. Anyways, staff can still be fixed but sad enough going back every often fixing the same staff, think about issues such as cost and the rest. But a one time cost such as through a referendum might be in fact worth it. The product we have now is an amended one but the desire of the people was a new constitution. In fact the promise by the…
This is all due to a failed leadership as far as the constitution making process is concerned. I even wonder whether the constitution was translated or worse still whether the translators read it. mind you the whole program was driven by the PF. We told them to legalise is but they chose to do it under the table and passed it at night while they were half asleep in order to protect Edgar Lungu. now it is biting them too. God can never be mocked.
Can Nawakwi specifically site the clause (s) that does not provide for deputy ministers instead of just yapping like a sour on heat.
When we told you that in 2014 Zambia Did not receive rains to help us generate enough electricity, it’s you people like Nawakwi and Ichilema who were busy rubbishing this truth. Now what are you telling us that it evidently clear that even 2015/16 season is experiencing even the worst drought?
Be professional and sincere in your dealings otherwise people take you for jokers of which you are indeed.
How can she cite a clause that doesn’t exist you also? Go read the constitution yourself!
@ ufo
THERE IS NO CLAUSE WHICH PROVIDE FOR DEPUTY MINISTERS!!!
Do you understand that point?
Come down to Earth and learn English.
imwe ba ufo, she said the constitution does not provide for the position of deputy minister. So how can she point out something that is not there. ukopo ulibe mankwala!
What a dull comment!
It seems as UFO is too backward to even understand this article, so I doubt he will actually be able to understand any clause in the Constitution!
Perhaps his comprehension of the English language is deficient so we should forgive his ridiculous utterance.
kkkkkkk, ufo wants a clause that reads like,
“…..there shall be no office of deputy minister……, as read with all articles under running of ministries and as provided for in this constitution”.
The Constotion is simply silent on this issue. And I suppose this was on purpose because Ministers were supposed to appointed outside parliament. They should have been professional people who need less of people like deputy ministers. Now things are left hanging….
Mr ufo, how about that the new machines installed at Kariba, used up the water in a short period which would’ve been not the case with the old ones another correct ones. Am saying, drought, yes but what about the capacity of the generators. You may want to consider that.
Kkkkkkkkkkk! Ya ufo you made me laugh. You are dull man….kkkkk
@Tore
In other words fima new turbines are guzzlers. Vi mamwa manzi maningi to produce a kwh.
Whoever bought them did not have the technical details the equivalent of “kilometers per litre.”
I once visted Kafue Gorge. If my memory of its ingenuous design is correct, I think there is potential for more power generation at the gorge. A conservative estimate of about a third of current generation is highly probable. If interested in this informed speculation, contact me for details.
Ba 1PLUS1. Stick to politics and not technical issues. There is no quantity in kilometre per litre in the power equation. The power equation = Efficiency of the turbine and generator x gravity (9.81m/s2) x Discharge (cubic metre per sec) x Head (m). There is no kilometre per litre in this equation. Kafue Gorge has a head or drop of 600m and KK used only 400m. So there is still 200m that can be exploited. RB launched a project to utilise this head just before the 2011 elections. This project is still on the drawing board and is referred to as Kafue Lower.
Shame to all of us Zambians
In the hope of fixing GBM they have created more problems for themselves. Lesson constitution shud never be a tool to fix one anather. Chiluba tried that, and we all know how it ended.
This thing of the party in government knowing it all is bad for our country. Very bloggers debate issues other than calling each names and a lot unprintables which are now printables in our comments. Thanks mama Nawakwi for opening my eyes on this.
it is good that you have acknowledged the constitution and you able to read through,the power of ECL
Thank God for new Constitution and for President Lungu’s willingness to assent to it. Over this Constitution process I’ve learnt to respect his wisdom & intelligence despite being humble @ the same time. Previously I used to think these opposition leaders were more intelligent but I’ve been shocked by amount of ignorance on governance issues that the constitution debate by opposition leaders has revealed. Opposition leaders stop rushing to the press & embarrassing yourselves like this. President Lungu assented 2 Bills. Go & read s7(2) of Act No 1 of 2016 on validity of position of D. Ministers.
7. (1) The President shall continue to serve as President for the unexpired term of that office as specified by the Constitution in accordance with the Constitution.
(2) A person holding the post of Vice-President, Minister or
Deputy Minister shall continue to hold that position under the
Constitution until that appointment is terminated by the President in
accordance with the Constitution.
kkkkkkkkk!!! Those of us who are either supporting or opposing what Nawakwi has said the question is have you read this amended Constitution?
PART XIV
PENSION BENEFIT
187. (1) An employee, including a public officer and
Constitutional office holder, has a right to a pension benefit.
(2) A pension benefit shall not be withheld or altered to that
employee’s disadvantage.

To assist, the President assented to Act No. 1 of 2016 & Act No. 2 of 2016 (Comstitution of Zambia Amendment Act). Act No. 1 of 2016 is the Constitution of Zambia Act dealing mainly with transition issues following amendment of the Constitution. It provides as follows in s7(2): “A person holding the position of Vice President, Minister, Deputy Minister shall continue to hold that position under the Constitution until the appointment is terminated by the President in accordance with the Constitution.”
nawakwi cikopo ninshi tefyo
Nawakwi is fooling the fools now read above for your selves.
@The Chosen One: Provide a link to Act No.1 of 2016. Most of us have only read Act No. 2 of 2016 on Internet. I can not find the Act No. 1 you are referring to.
So what is Lungu waiting for then?
Or did he fire them and forgot to tell the Nation about it?
Too much JAMESONI last night?
Or just plain ignorance, incompetence and dereliction of duty?
The PF comedy continues!
Now, who is clueless between Ms Nawakwi and President Lungu ?
This is for positions that are provided for in the constitution. In this particular case the Deputy Minister is provided for.
Nawakwi is dull.. does she know what this article one means??
“1. This Act may be cited as the Constitution of Zambia
(Amendment) Act, 2016, and shall be read as one with the
Constitution of Zambia, in this Act referred to as the Constitution.”..
whatever has not been provided for in the amendment act remains the same in the principal act which is the constitution..
@Beng
The more reason Nawakwi should have first consulted legal minds before going to town over a seemingly simple and straightforward issue.
Show that you have a learned brain and don’t call people names. State that they have erred in fact or deed and state the error.
Calling a person “dull” or any other name leads us to assume that you believe yourself an adjudicator of intelligence.
Your name, “Beng” is also used to denote Bachelor of Engineering. If indeed you are a holder of such degree then you should know enough to know that you are not a Master nor Doctor, not a professor either.
So what you are saying is that we actually DO NOT HAVE A NEW CONSTITUTION! We are still using the old one?
So what was the big party at the stadium for then?
Apo walya mayo. our next vice president. Article 113 does not provide for deputy ministers but only ministers and provincial ministers. Can the minister of justice clarify this? Was it an oversight by the draftsmen or its a measure to reduce cost of running govt announced by EL?
My brother/sister please understand that there are 2 laws that facilitate the new constitution. One contains the substantive provisions which you are citing namely Art 113 and the other deals with the transition from the old constitution to the new constitution. The 1 that deals with transition issues is Act No. 1 of 2016 to facilitate an orderly switch to new constitution and avoid the anarchy that Ms Nawakwi is attempting to advocate for. It is fantasy & irresponsible to think that a switch can happen like magic @ the snap of fingers! These are state institutions that we are talking about here.
@ the chosen one
Do you mean to say that this PF Government did not know about the provisions in the Constitution that Lungu was signing or they were just too confused to plan ahead for this?
She looks like she is about to “come”- about to hit ORGASM!
Out of the abundance of your intellect comes this statement. All the schooling, all the training, all the exposure and opportunities you have been afforded are wasted on you. You sat down and all you could think of as an adult was that drivel. You should be ashamed of yourself
That is why it important for us to read the document before commenting on Nawakwi’s claims.
Bitter woman..! U were busy pushing for the amended constitution….but now ur complaining….! Kikikikkkkkk….its true Africans don’t read…! Viva pf……my vote on u! Ignore bitter upnd, fdd and the likes…!
define “bitter”.
Misguided, maybe. In error, possibly. Bitter! How?
Is that the limit of your analytical vocabulary. No the adjectives to suit the situation.
If that’s the case then well spotted madam; we will be saving a great deal of money …getting rid of those empty suits…this is a blessing in disguise . It also says a lot about the caliber of lazy Lungu as a lawyer and his advisers who were fixated with wiring the opposition than anything. It now just takes a citizen to challenge them.
Well maybe this flip flop, U turn, reverse decision President will now have to “UNSIGN” the New Constitution to get his deputy ministers back into their offices.
The only problem with most Zambian Opposition Leaders including their blind followers is that they comment on things that they don’t even understand, making them irrelevant in the current political dispensation. Madam Nawakwi knows ab initio that she is not competent on matters of the law but she goes on to expose her non compos mentis!! What a shame!! Kambwili is totally vindicated…..Opposition leaders are a bunch of……kikikikiki! The rest is history!
From an issue to a person. How childish and PF – ish.
You were close till you decided to bring Kambwili into this. His utterances equally have no place in civilised society. Vindication? Oh really? just taking words and throwing them around does not vindicate a thing.
If the lady was talking “apples” in an “orange” conversation that would be different. She got her “apples” mixed up.
if theres no provision for the deputy minister on the amendment y saying that they a sitting illegally in offices? cant u think that they suppose to abid to the old? aba bamayo nabo baimona kwati balikwata sana amano, y didnt she advice mmd presidents wen she was a minister? elyo amano yaisa mubukote nomba
So let’s get this straight… the ‘amended constitution‘ implies updates or changes were made to the current constitution. That means clauses which were there before remain the same unless they were removed, updated or changed.
When we write technical documents, if we amend the documents, we usually give some introductory pages specifying what was amended or revised document. If the deputy minister were in the constitution and weren’t removed, they should still exist in the amended document.
But even if they were removed, it just means the office is a non constitutional office. It doesn’t necessarily meani t is now illegal. I doubt every govt position is a constitutional office, or is it?
Maybe it isn’t illegal but paying them a salary will definitely be against the law!
No budget for it.
This woman doesnt think,thats why apokela abalume babene! what does amendment means to her?it does not mean that the old laws do not apply,the constitution is only affected by the additional,subtraction and changes in some certain laws but if it is not been tempered with it remains the same.TIME FOR ENGLISH KUSUKULU MAYO MWALEYA MUKUPANTIKA KUMPANGA.
The Batoka Power project site is located 54 km downstream below the Victoria Falls. Feasibility studies were conducted by the Batoka Joint Venture Consultants and completed in 1993. Had this project been completed it would have boosted the power supply in the two countries with an installed capacity of 1600 MW. But Nawakwi as Minister of Energy said no, “Such a background (some misunderstandings over the ownership of the Kariba Dam) does not give us a firm foundation to enter into yet another costly project like the Batoka one,” she told The Financial Gazette in 1994. The advantage of this scheme over the lower Kafue which Zambia opted to develop is that water can be used twice to generate electricity. Zambia and Zimbabwe would not have faced this power crisis had Nawakwi made the right…
Reading the Constitution piecemeal by senior politicians like Ba Edith (former Cabinet Minister/Presidential aspirant) is very dangerous! And to disparage the President (Lawyer by profession) over a matter whose facts are completely at variance with your ‘opinions’ is utter folly. More reason why Ba Edith should be working closely with V.P. Chifumu Banda and not perpetually carrying Antonio in her handbag…
I will agree with you that there is need for professional opinion on such serious issues before comment is made.
I would even go as far as having a full competent team make review of documents and develop party position papers for which politicians can make their team stand known to the public.
Clangers can be avoided this way
Deputy Ministers are just excess to our governance needs. These positions are just used to manipulate weak souls from the opposition and weaken the parties by the President. All presidents since Mwananwasa are guilty of this patronage. Good riddance I say, people like Mwaliteta, who will miss such?
Well said!
Institutionalised bribery and corruption!
Daylight theft of Taxpayers money! For political influence.
These people have no shame. No integrity. No moral compass.
but zambians you surprise me. so because Nawakwi has said it then it must be true. clearly those who claim to be educated are so dull. the articles that affected ministers and there deputies where not touched so the status quo remains. for those with selective memory this is the article which suggested that ministers and their deputies be appointed from outside parliament. Nabo ba nawakwi too much seeking attention
I supposed that as a voice of reason you understand temperance.
The woman may be in error, but that is no cause to call a person names like dull. Are you “dull” because of your poor punctuation?
Elevate yourself above the gutter, where you currently seem to be. State undeniable fact not opinion. Do not reduce yourself to “kada” (instead of Cadre) levels.

Going by what Edith has exposed her shallow brains on the law then it means that starting from chiluba regime to date all D/ministers have been holding office illegally. The current amendments did not touch on that clause. How can the signing of the document nullify even what was not ammended.
All you supporting Edith now I say can you give kudos to Ecl. Kambwili is vindicated for sure. Opposition are a bunch of mad people Kikikiki
Here is an except from the constitution. Ms Nawakwi is deputised by Chifumu Banda who i think is well informed on these issues. I dont know why she chose to mislead the nation.
7. (2) A person holding the post of Vice-President, Minister or Deputy Minister shall continue to hold that position under the Constitution until that appointment is terminated by the President in accordance with the Constitution.
UPND suporters this should be a lesson to you. You are not as intellegent as you think. you can be wrong at times like PF becoz you are not super human. Who can we blame for our new constitution when the draft was subjected to all of us.
I thought Edith was FDD??
Where does UPND come into this?
Has she changed party?
The Chosen One and Chintombwa Himikiti,
Thank you for exposing Edith Nawakwi. It means she also didn’t read the provisions of the constitution you have referred to.
These opposition leaders are a sham indeed. Look at Edith because she want to be seen as an intelligent person she ignores chifumu Banda sc who could ‘ve educated her on the implications of the constitution. Same applies to hh. That’s what it means to be a know it all. You end up exposing you private parts in public.
I repeat those who were supporting Edith blindly can you all apologize please. Am deeply disappointed by @chief bootliker. I care @wanzelu because the kaboi is HH balls likker
@peters don’t go to UPND supporters because most of us we research before commenting. I SIDO MARK I don’t just vomit anyhow.Most of the PF supporters have not yet read the new Articles. When you go through some of them you can tell that PF and Lungu have shoot themselves in the foot.Watch the game most of the articles introduced were aimed at destroying UPND ,when if fact they are disadvantaging PF.Come may most of you will be crying.I don’t want to pre empty some of the articles and our plans to win this election.I end here.This Zambia not Zimbabwe,lol
Pre-empt, my man. Not “pre empty”.
Oh yes, you cannot pre-empt plans or articles.
Use the dictionary to learn how these words are used in sentences.
This woman will definitely add more value to HH as a running mate, But knowing African politics it can not happen.
If only African politicians can work for the people and not themselves.
HH and Nawakwi read this and make it happen.
SNAKE BITE YOU ARE SO RIGHT. PLEASE HH SEE THE POTENTIAL OF EDITH AND CHOOSE HER AS YOUR RUNNING MATE. THE TWO OF YOU WILL HELP BRING ZAMBIA SOME SANITY.
This reminds me of Chiluba who signed a wrong statutory instruments to invoke the powers of a state of emergency only for Prof. Mvunga SC, defence lawyer, to catch the intellectual dwarf pants down for arresting people illegally. Chiluba cried foul to Dr. Chongwe accusing him of not having advised him correctly. The good old Chongwe told Chiluba it was Grade 7 Civics that the Attorney General and not Minister of Legal Affairs, was his advisor, not the minister. I can foresee this masalamusi of a constitution going the same way.
@sido the ammended clauses were drafted long before Upnd was birthed. To say that Ecl asserted to the bill in order to fix Upnd is being immature. Ask yourself. Which constitution was Upnd hh promising to give when he went round Zambia begging for a vote. Is it not the same one Ecl signed. You are the same people saying G12 minimum is there to fix GBM when it was gbm and Upnd who sat on that CRC to amass allowances while pretending they are submitting to the constitution process. Kikikikiki ati fixing upnd yabaaaaaaa
SHOCKING MOMENTS#ITS TRUE WHEN U WANT TO ANYTHING FROM AN AFRICAN PUT IT IN WRITING. NAUKWA,HH, YOU ARE FAKE ECONOMIST WHY ASK NOW WHEN U HAD A LOT OF TIME,THE DRAFT WAS IN NEWSPAPERS NO ONE BOTHERED TO ADD OR SUBTRACT ANYTHING SO EVERYTHING IN IT SHUD BE AS IT IS NO CHANGES SHUD BE MADE
#WE KNOW NAWUKWA,HH ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE NEW CONSTITUTION HENCE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS
#FOR DEPUTY MINISTERS THE TERM HAS NOT FINISHED FOR THEM TO FOLLOW THE NEW ONE UNLESS U ARE SAYING EVERYONE WHO HAS NO G12
SHUD ALSO VACATE OFFICES
#NO CHANGE SHUD BE MADE TO G12 ISSUE REASON IS ZAMBIANS HAVE SET QUALIFICATION FOR THERE WORKERS & SHUD BE FOLLOWED. NO WORKER CAN SET QUALIFICATION BUT THE EMPLOYER WHO ARE VOTERS
@ BENG, Well spoken!
An amendment simply means a statement that is added to or revises or improves a proposal or document (a bill or constitution etc.) So whatever has not been provided for in the amendment act remains the same in the principal act which is the constitution.
Thanks to @13.1 and @Chosen one 16, we can all have a balanced view of what the Constitution actually provides for. It’s clear, that Sections 7. 1 and 7.2 of 7 does put in place a transitional period solution. These posts can be terminated eventually at the Presidents behest.You now see how Little Miss Trouble Nawakwi fools us ( hope you all watch children TV, Little Men). Nawakwi’s grownup persona is trapped in her Chikd like persona. This woman probably has pink painted bedroom. AND for excitement her husband has to bottle feed her while rubbing her tummy whispering,” whose a naughty lil’ baby? Yes, yes, yes Daddies own little wifey,” as he breathes heavily into her ears and suddenly shudders. If you all know what I mean! We ain’t kids Nawakwi!
Little Miss Trouble Nawakwi fools us ( hope you all watch children TV, Little Men). Nawakwi’s grownup persona is trapped in her Child like persona. The solution is provided for in 7.1 and 7.2 as 13.1 and 16 have clarified for all. Nawakwi likes to disagree for the sake of bringing attention to herself. This time she has shown herself up big time. It’s juvenile to carry on the way she does. People should observe this carefully. She thinks she can play with people’s mind. The West, a whooper like this could kill a Political Career. She was going for the President but has come up short
This is embarrassing for a person of Nawakwi’s standing. 2 bills were signed, one was the constitution amendment bill and the other one was an act to ensure that constitutional gaps like what Nawakwi is yapping about are taken care of. Please read Madam Nawakwi
Only in Africa, can a politician survive this blooper. In the West she’d be clearing her desk and walking over the threshold. Nomba sure, how will her Deputies esteem her?? A Leadership challenge is rumbling under her feet.
FDD President Edith Nawakwi may be educated but lacks lntelligency and wisdom because she has chosen to hate the Republican President Mr Edgar Lungu with impunity that she cannot debate national issues objectively…
Can you define intelligence?
Which page in the Constitution
The Presiednt once again promissed us he was going to sign the constitution with his eyes. He did it depsite early warning by one and the only Brigadier Gen. Miyanda
sori with his eyes closed
I hope u understand what the President meant!Thats exactly what we expect him to do!!!Thats because if he’s eyes are closed,he will not be tempted to read what the people of zambia have tabled before him-and maybe rethink his decision to assent to it for he might see some clause that may not be beneficial to him as a sitting president- therefore that statement by the president in short means that he will sign the document as it was presented to him,boldly,knowing that it represents the wishes of the people – of course the president read the document several times over and what Nawakwi is talking about here is mere lack of knowledge of the provisions contained therein regarding the transition arrangements,which I think is rather unfortunate for someone who aspires to be president and…
I wrote a long diatribe against this woman just days ago. Now everyone can see I was right about her. She is looney tune immature.
Talk about issues, not personality. Did you learn critical thinking? You need it to understand what an argument is.
leave HH alone in this topic please.Has he commented on the topic.Be reasonable enough.Grow up! Hopefully you enjoyed the music he was playing on hotFM.
IT IS NOW CLEAR THAT EN IS WRONG. SHE HAS BEEN CAUGHT PANTS DOWN. EVEN IF SHE WAS RIGHT, WHERE WAS SHE ALL THIS TIME? AND YOU PEOPLE SAID ECL SHOULD NOT CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF THAT DRAFT. YOU ARE SHOOTING YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT.
Fellow Zambians, you are still debating that chikopo of a so called woman politician?
Anyway, the good thing is that it has exposed all those nincompoops who demanded that the constitution should go to referendum without further debate as it was what the people wrote down. I mean the Grand coalition and their alliance partners including opposition parties like uPMD and their underfive who just oppose anything as long as it aligns them to where they think the votes are rather than standing on the strong foundation of truth and integrity like their colleague Edgar Lungu.
