Zambians do not want this Bill 10 and have given up-Nevers Mumba

Share

New Hope MMD President Nevers Mumba says many Zambians are surprised with the determination shown by the Patriotic Front government to pass the Constitution Amendment Bill number 10 of 2019 in parliament.

Dr Mumba says many Zambians do not have hope that the PF government will withdraw the Bill from Parliament despite the many calls from stakeholders to do so.

He said most people have resigned to the possibility of the PF ability to listen to them on the matter.

Dr Mumba said Zambians have now known that when it truly matters the most, the PF does not stand on the side of the people.

He said Zambians do not want this Bill and have given up because they believe that the PF will do what they want to and not what the people want.

Dr Mumba said the Bill has become impotent and if it goes to Parliament it will be a loss to the people as it will do so at the expense of peace and democracy.

He has said that the Bill instead of achieving peace for the Zambian people, it has become a possible weapon for destruction of democracy post 2021 general elections.

Dr Mumba said the reason why the PF are pushing the Bill is to showcase to the people that they have power.

He said the Bill is a dangerously divisive document that is not worth keeping in Parliament and has since urged President Lungu to withdraw the Bill from Parliament.

Dr Mumba said if God wants the PF to win the 2021 General elections, they will win even without Bill 10 but for now it should be withdrawn because their chances of winning are slim.

  1. Don’t add unwarranted spices to what he said, verbally he advised that if God wants them to win they can win even without Bill 10, if God wants them to lose they can lose even with Bill 10 is in effect. He never mentioned of little chances noooo.

  2. Even Mumbi Phiri was crying when Lubinda insulted his own Catholic bishops.
    There is no priest in Zambia who will offer holy communion to any PF MP over that Bill 10.

  3. These type of African politicians are a shame to Africa. This man wants to be a President of a democratic country BUT casts aspersions against Parliamentary processes to law making! We make laws through Parliament not talking to people on street corners! Parliamentarians debate proposed Bills in PARLIAMENT. Why withdraw a Bill when REPRESENTATIVES of the people called MP’s seat in PARLIAMENT to put the will of the people forward through debate and VOTE for or against the Bills on behalf of the people. IS THIS A FAKE STORY?? It’s too ridiculous to be true.

  4. If the people have given up IT MEANS THEY HAVE NOT AUTHORISED YOU TO OBJECT GO THE BILL. Grow up man. Go back to the pulpit

  5. Dr Mumba is just the salt and light that we need in our politics which have become dirt because of our politicians. Zambia desperately needs people like Dr Mumba to add flavour and morality, and remove the garbage (lies, insults, corruption, hate, tribal insinuations, etc) that have infiltrated our politics. God bless Zambia! Psalm 33:12

  7. There are 17 Million Zambians. How do the 17 Million come to agree and discuss important matters ???? Through their elected representatitves. In short Parliamentarians. In this case it not about PF or UPND or MMD Mps . Once an MP is elected he represents people in the constituency ..even those who did not vote for them. You have the right to present to your MPs to speak for you on Bill 10. In every constituency there is a constituence office…Call your MP and discuss with them how you want them to vote.

  8. The MMD mps don’t report to Nevers. This “new hope” MMD is a ego massager for Nevers. He’s dead scared of the upcoming convention as the key members of the party don’t even respect him. He’s speaking for himself here, he doesn’t even understand bill 10 or governance processes. We have leadership crisis in Zambia and Nevers is a vivid example of that sad reality.

  9. #8 what you are saying is what happens in a normal country, of which Zambia is not. Example, Tutwa had lied that he went through all of Kabwe and people supported the Bill. Also how was the Mung’omba Constitution Review done? Compare that with Bill 10…

    Zambia is a country not a segment of Chawama filled with its dogs. Imbwa shuku chawama

  11. The reason christianity has many denomination is because of interpretation,or misinterpretation of the Bible. Ala nikuvina mwamene wainvelela and then start a church. Talk about followers, they are numerous; they just follow for the sake of following. To explain the implication of Bill 10, I ask the church, just the way the explain heaven, sin or hell, to a thorough analysis and then give the members to digest and make a decision, which decision they will pass to their elected representatives in parliament. Mind you, God is good all the time and His Goodness is manifested in the bumper harvest, the peace that Zambian are enjoying and the hardwork of the men and women in Zambia, AND NOT the PESSIMISTS.
