The Zambia Centre for Interparty Dialogue (ZCID) has supported the constitution amendment bill number 10 of 2019.

ZCID Constitutional Committee chairperson Chilufya Tayali says 32 out of the 35 ZCID affiliates resolved to support the bill after a meeting that was held in Lusaka.

Mr. Tayali says other affiliates of the ZCID that did not take part in the meeting are at liberty to present their individual political party submission before the parliamentary select committee.

He says ZCID believes that Bill number 10 is a true reflection of the resolutions of the National Dialogue Forum (NDF)

Mr Tayali, who is also opposition Economic and Equity Party (EEP), the leader was speaking when he presented submissions before the Parliamentary select committee on the Constitution Bill number 10 of 2019.

And MMD president Felix Mutati has supported the re-introduction of deputy ministers.

Mr Mutati said this can be achieved if the government considers compressing the number of ministers in Cabinet

  1. True colours, and who is better placed to demonstrate this than Chilufya Tayali? Now we see why the ZCID failed to organise a national dialogue, actually deliberately “failed”. I mean the church had it’s own baggage, but this!!
    We confirm that NDF is just a PF scheme. Who trusts PF, raise your hands, NONE! And HH? Double NONE!!!

    • We thought that the Ethiopian girl has turned Tayali’s behavior, unfortunately he is going back to drink with ZCID.
      That Facebook marriage is over, that girl will have to look for a different Zambia. She is only interested in marrying a Zambian.

    • The real wonder is that there is an Organisation for which Mr Tayali is chairperson.

      You learn something every day I suppose

  2. WE ALL KNOW THEY WANT IT SO PF CAN MAKE THEM DEPUTY MINISTERS BECAUSE BILL TEN HAS ISSUES THAT DEMANDS CONCERN FOR EXAMPLE BORROWING WITH OUT PARLIAMENT APPROVAL MR MUTATI WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT REALLY AND WAS FINANCE MINISTER

    • and it wont be up to us the citizens to choose a president – MP’s will simply make a collaboration with other MPs to reach a majority and select a president from among themselves – meaning we cannot vote for the president we want ———— is this what the people of Zambia wish fpr – NO !

  3. ZCID is a PF appendage of Hungry Hyenas seeking to be employed as deputy monsters! What do you expect from chaps who can’t even pay their house rentals? ZCID and their friends can say all they want but the people have said NO to any NDF Chigololo on our Constitution! Which part of NO doesn’t PF understand? Please respect the wishes of the people or risk burning your fingers! If PF wants to exit fast from power, let them go ahead with Bill number 10! Ushumfwa patunono, pafingi takomfwe! When a ruling party is ripe for destruction, it usually becomes deaf! Instead of concentrating on fixing the economy, they are busy with peripheral issues! Hungry stomachs will sort you out soon! Continue being in denial about hunger in the country! Abash this Bill of savages!

  4. “And the MMD President Felix Mutati has supported the re-introduction of deputy mi nisters.Mr Mutati said this can be achieved if the considers compressing the number of ministers in cabinet.”

    The problem is not compressing the number of cabinet ministers but the obsession by ministers to serve dual roles of being a member of Legislature as well as Executive.If ministers were to be chosen outside Parliament,Permanent Secretaries will be their natural deputies afterall our Constitutional(Presidential) democracy is modelled on the US system whose cabinet is comprised of non-elected Secretaries and NOT congressmen/women and/or Senators.The moment we will refine our hybrid constitution to deal with the lacuna on the dual role of ministers i.e being members of Legislature and Executive…

    • based on both the American and the British system,the better.The President need not to worry about the loyalty of his/her MPs because Parliamentary Chief Whips are there to take care of that business.It has always worked in USA unlike the current set up which clearly conflicts the dual duties of being ministers/Mps.

    • Sharp Shooter – Very important submission. Almost every blogger here is fixated on Tayali forgetting the strange proposition by Mutati – leader of the third largest opposition. It is also important to note that some Ministries have more than one PS.

  5. PROBLEM IS A HUNGRY GUNDWANE’ -R@T LIKE KA TAYALI, IS A CORRUPT HIRED GUN, & NEEDS TO BOOTLICK PLUNDERERS FEDERATION, TO FEED THAT LADY HE IMPOTED FROM SELLASIE LAND!
    Africa will forever remain behind as Poverty + the Belly, & NOT reason, decides what National Policy will be!

  6. The constitution cannot be manipulated by anyone but when you have “wake away MPs” whenever important National matters are presented before them, can you blame anyone? PMs in UPND must fight to free themselves from the chains of bondage of HH because as things stand they are of no relevance to the people who voted for them for representation. Whats even more sad is that its our brothers and sisters from a section of Zambia that are suffering more than HH and their toothless MPs.

  7. You have to be brain dead to support PF, if we continue on this path we will be worse than Zimbabwe during Mugabe……lungu will be in power for ever that’s there long game
