The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has been cautioned to be mindful that while it governs the country, Zambians are still not at the mercy of politicians’ goodwill.
The Zambian Voice says while development in infrastructure, Education, Health and Agriculture embarked upon by the ruling PF is appreciated, people want the government to prioritize the Constitution so that no politician will hold them to ransom for what they deserve as citizens.
Executive Director Chilufya Tayali says this is especially that it has been 1, 022 days or 2 years, 9 months and 19 days that the country has continued without a new constitution despite the ruling PF promising in its 2011 campaigns to deliver a constitution within 90 days of its being into power.
Mr. Tayali says this is why his organization is thus demanding for the release of the final draft constitution and the enactment of a new constitution before 2016.
He was speaking this morning at media briefing in Lusaka.
And Mr Tayali has also expressed concern over President Michael Sata’s not being seen in public.
He says it is not right that the President can stay away from his people without an explanation.
