Youths in Western Province have advocated for the amendment of the proposed draft constitution bill for sustainable Youth development in the province by reducing vast constituencies.
Western Provincial Youth leader, Etambuyu Etambuyu said some constituencies in Western Province are vast, hence the need for a delimitation process to take place in order for such constituencies to be reduced in order to develop them.
Mr Etambuyu said Nalikwanda Constituency has for years been lagging behind in terms of development due to its vastness and has since called on the people of Western Province to support the amendment process.
And Eugen Kapatiso thanked the Government for its unwavering support in taking development to all parts of the country that includes those that are found in the remotest areas.
Mr Kapatiso cited the rehabilitation works of the Mongu /Lusaka road currently underway as a major milestone to Western Province’s economic development.
Mr Kapatiso has since called for wisdom from above and also wished the Head of State good health in order for the nation to continue in its path of development.
He said the draft constitution amendment process ongoing is a sure way of bringing social economic transformation and development as it will create equitable distribution of government resources.
Mr Kapatiso, however, bemoaned the low participation of people who are physically challenged in the governance system of the country.
He has called on the government to consider having more representation of people with disabilities in decision making positions.
Meanwhile, the Technical Committee on constitution amendment, team leader for Western Province, Eva Jihila said once the proposed draft constitution amendment is done, will strengthen democratic governance system in Zambia.
Ms Jihila disclosed that the voices of the people in Western Province on the draft constitution amendment process will be heard through their submissions and has since called on the people in the Province to turn in large numbers and make submissions
