The Vision Network Foundation in Luapula Province has commended the Technical Committee on Constitutional Amendments for successfully engaging the members of the public on the entire process.
In an interview with the medis, Vision Network Foundation Executive Director, Maxwell Luchile, noted that the submissions, which were made by the general public to the technical committee, were inclusive.
“There has been no segregation as to who can come through and who cannot, provided you indicate your interest. And I also observed that enough time was given to different types of people so that they can express themselves fully,” he said.
Bishop Luchile further observed that the number of people who turned up to make submissions was overwhelming.
He said this was testimony of the importance people attach to the republican constitution.
“I can describe the event to be well attended as we had people from many walks of life, the clergy like myself, civil society, members of the community and professionals, let me just say different sectors from our community were represented at this important national event,” he said.
