Senior Chief Nsokolo of the Mambwe people in Mbala in Northern Province has lamented the lack of sensitisation programmes in his chiefdom among his more than 30,000 subjects as the extended 60 days given for submissions by members of the public to the constitution making process draws to an end soon.
In a statement released to the media, Senior Chief Nsokolo said that he was deeply disappointed that while most parts of the country have received copies of the draft constitution, currently under review, his subjects, including his Chiefs, among others, Mwamba, Mfwambo, Kela, Kowa, Mphande, Chivuta, Penza, among other traditional leaders under his authority have not received copies of the draft constitution, let alone sensitisation programmes being undertaken in his area.
The Chief has since appealed to the Technical Committee Tasked to Undertake the Constitution Review Process by President Michael Sata, to treat the omission as a matter of urgency and expedite the sending of copies and personnel to his Chiefdom to enable the subjects participate in this national matter so that all their views, together with many other Zambians are included for final consideration by the Technical Committee.
The Chief further said that it is his fervent hope that the people of Nsokolo chiefdom, indeed all others in Mbala are not excluded from this important exercise as the constitutional making process is a human and birth-right for all.
Chief Nsokolo should complain to his member of Parliament who l think is MMD, for not doing is job.Â
He is complaining and he is drinking beer.
Mr matipa what does being MMD has to do with not doing you job?
Tukapite Kumwitu ku Mbala,,,Mpanga yaMambwe!!!
