LUSAKA – Citizens First leader Harry Kalaba has called on Members of Parliament to vote in the best interest of Zambia as the National Assembly prepares for a critical constitutional amendment decision today.
In a statement, Mr. Kalaba emphasized that lawmakers carry a responsibility that transcends party politics. He described the moment as historic, warning that the outcome will shape the country’s governance and democratic framework for generations to come.
“This is a defining moment for Zambia. What you decide will not only affect today but will leave a mark for future generations,” he said.
Mr. Kalaba urged MPs to weigh their decision carefully, stating that constitutions are long-term instruments designed to safeguard the nation, not political tools for short-term interests. “We must put the country before party. Our duty is to the people, not to political convenience,” he added.
He further called on parliamentarians to rise above partisan considerations and focus on the long-term stability and unity of Zambia, noting that the vote carries significance far beyond the walls of Parliament.
“History will remember those who stood on the right side. This is your chance to act with integrity, for the sake of national unity and democratic promise,” Mr. Kalaba stated. “Let conscience guide your choice. Let wisdom shape your action. Let the people’s interest be your compass.”
