Don’t Defer, Abandon Constitutional Proposed Amendments
Thursday, 26th June 2025
We wish to state that the decision by President Hakainde Hichilema to direct the Minister of Justice to defer Bill 7 comes after serious backlash and after wholesome rejection of the proposed constitutional amendments.
However, we must remain alert and not fall for this gimmick.
The proposed constitutional amendments must be abandoned as there is no adequate time to establish public consensus as general elections are near and sadly the process has been driven by the President and his UPND party instead of a process led by the people.
We wish to warn that the deferment is not well-intentioned and remain a trick up his sleeves as shown by similar gesture in the recent past.
Zambians must remember that President Hakainde Hichilema did the same to the Cyber Crimes and Cyber Security Bills purporting that they needed wide consultation only for the bills to be reintroduced and quickly passed as law without due regard to any public and stakeholders’ concerns.
We also wish to register serious concerns regarding the remarks made by the President when he met some civil society grouping where he alleged that he had noted that his policies and constitional proposals are vehemently met with serious and unjustified opposition because he is a “pariah ” and because he comes from a certain region.
These remarks were unfortunate and the victim-hood posture he assumes is dangerous as it is NOT based on the Truth.
The cyber laws, the proposed constitutional-making process and for example the sale of Mopani Copper Mines were opposed because they did not meet minimum public consultations, or publicly accepted processes and consultations.
The President must desist from making tribal or regional statements that serve only to divide the country or continue to polarise the divide, threatening national unity.

If it came from anyone else it would be note worth
for PF to have a chance the top smart Alicks have to go
The Problem with Emmanuel is lack of strategic thinking. Everything is wrong in his eyes. Also, Kwaliba Title ati: Ambassador Naimwe? Ubututu. Niwebo Mwamba alaaa. Same with those fools who are obsessed with the word Honourable. Hon their Nonsense.
Amaka ya mubiyo… Doesn’t even exist any more, why make small noises
Bally always plays a victim whenever his advances are rejected, he has been told time and again that bill mu7 was introduced at a wrong time, to top that women and youth had been the hook in the pond to sway the public into believing that if we allowed the bill to pass more women youths and five disabled members will be added to Parliament.
Look the current constitution doesn’t bar more women or youths in Parliament, matter of fact if bally wanted, he can choose all female or youths to stand as MPs.
We have rejects Bill mu7, let it slide
ECL will also rest better in SA
message approved
And this one is not “Ambassador”.
Anytime you see a piece by Emmanuel Mwamba, whatever the topic you just know it will be total nonsense. And indeed this one did not disappoint, it was nonsense
There is nothing good or bad HH can ever do that this Kola tribalistic bigot can ever agree with. Emmanuel Muamba is one of the most tribalistic skanks to ever hail from the Northern caucuses, he needs to be put down. For his Zambia only belongs to them, alone, to rule and plunder.
Ati ba ambassador, ambassador of faeces. Foesek ka notorious sexual pest wena!
Emmanuel Mwamba does have knowledge. However he does not have Wisdom.
A person can be knowledgeable without Wisdom. Thant is how Mwamba is. Wisdom is applied knowledge. Mwamba lacks that. So whatever he says let it pass you.
Which rabbit hole is Emmanuel operating from? Coward par excellence!
A failed politician like Emmanuel Mwamba & his bunch of thieves friends in the pf have no legitimacy to give advice to the ruling party
