65 districts submit views on constitution amendments – Kasune

Minister of Justice, Princess Kasune, says 65 districts across five provinces have so far made submissions to the Technical Committee on Constitution Amendments.

 The Minister notes that this reflects strong nationwide participation in the ongoing consultative process.

 Speaking during a media briefing in Lusaka today, Ms Kasune said the public response has been overwhelming, with the committee often working late into the night to accommodate the high number of submissions.

She stated that the submissions have come from a wide range of stakeholders, including traditional leaders, civil society organisations, students, and members of the public.

Ms Kasune highlighted that over 30 chiefs made submissions in North -Western Province, while 18 traditional leaders took part in Eastern Province.

She explained that the first phase of public sittings has so far covered Central, Northern, North -Western, Eastern, and Western Provinces, while the second phase will include Copperbelt, Muchinga, and Southern Provinces, before concluding in Lusaka by November 13, 2025.

Ms Kasune also revealed that to ensure no citizen is left behind, the committee will hold virtual sittings in all 116 districts, with council chambers designated as official submission centers.

She has since urged members of the public to continue taking part through the government’s online platform.
