The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) says government should release the final draft constitution in order to end speculation that the document is being manipulated at the Ministry of Justice.
FODEP Executive Director, MacDonald Chipenzi, has told QFM News in an interview that there is no doubt now in the minds of right thinking citizens that the PF government is not comfortable with the contents of the final draft constitution.
Mr. Chipenzi states that after reading the contents of the final copy of the draft constitution, the PF government became uncomfortable with it, the reason why they are reluctant in releasing the document.
And Mr. Chipenzi has backed calls for Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba and his Permanent Secretary Joseph Akafumbo to resign for allegedly lying to the people initially that they never received the draft constitution when they had done so.
He says it is now difficult for the people of Zambia to trust Mr. Kabimba because he had allegedly lied to them.
