The ruling PF has cautioned Zambians against being mislead on the review of the amendments that were made to the Republican Constitution in 2016.
PF Deputy Spokesperson Frank Bwalya is urging people in the Country to be wary that it is not true that the PF led government has embarked on another Constitution review process.
Mr. Bwalya says the nation needs to know that the process that is to be brought before Parliament is in fact the amendment of the clauses that are in conflict with other clauses in the Constitution.
In an interview with QTV News Mr. Bwalya explains that what will therefore take place is a kind of aligning and cleaning up of lacunas that have been identified in the national document.
Mr. Bwalya note that these are the same inconsistency that the people of Zambia already know exist in the Country’s supreme law.
He states that it is for this reason that the ruling PF holds the view that there is no need to use the route of a Constitution review commission in amending some clauses in the Constitution.
Mr Lacuna ..hahaha..politics yachabe one has to learn some street law words now from priest hood
The only “LACUNA” these idyots are talking about is trying to sneak in Chagwa’s third term.
That is a straightforward lie from PF. The Constitution is being reviewed and amended from Chagwa’s bedroom without consulting Zambians.
As long as you maintain 50%+1,no deputy ministers, speaker shud act in the case of a petition to the Presidential polls. Any changes that includes any of these will be regarded as a review
useless PF cadre this bwalya boy. He is a corrupt little creep who will have his day soon. You cannot continue to cheat people. The law is been abused by lungu. Opposition is been persecuted. Journalists like mmembe are been targetted and to make things worse their families are been targetted. I tell you people zambia has never experienced this level of arbitrary rule in all my years in this beloved country. We must have really annoyed the Gods for us to be cursed with the PF government. Anyway nature shall deal with lungu and friends. There is a reason we have death and life.
Oooooh Constitution again! Forget it, Zambians only like the idea of it basically as a cover for debate and to accuse the gov’t for political gain. That 50%+1 is great stuff!
How do u “clean up” the constitution without already reviewing it….or did the clause just jump out by themselves..of course there is review..please commonsense
Is the Constitution for PF? So why is a Party spokesman giving information instead of the government spokesperson?
This is Chagwa’s personal Constitution.
Lombe, nice which explains why the nation is so divided. We are back to the party and it’s government. Party cadres making announcements and taking over institutions of governance. They are even being told to take over our plots, markets and bus stations.
Antichrist JackArse Bwalya,
Amendment of the ARTICLES, and NOT Clauses you uneducated son of many fathers, of the Constitution it is same as review of the Constitution.
5TUPIDITY RULES OK IN PF
According to Lungu and PF the offending Constitutional clauses are all Election related. Lungu regrets very much for signing the Amended Constitution with a Petition Clause and especially the clause requiring the Incumbent President Elect resigning and surrendering his Executive Powers to the Speaker of Parliament to Act as President after the Petition is filed with Concourt and allow the Hearing and disposal of the Petition. The requirement that the Court must Hear, determine the Petition based on evidence provided is a killer punch to Lungu’s case. The Court should have declared Lungu the Winner of the 2016 Election but could not do so becoz the Petition Hearing Process was blocked by Lungu thru his Concourt Judge Friends. As a result Lungu was not democratically, lawfully and…
