CHAPTER ONE FOUNDATION COMMENDS GOVERNMENT ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS COMMITTEE

CHAPTER ONE Foundation, Executive Director, Josiah Kalala has commended the Government for forming a technical committee to lead consultations on constitutional amendments.

Mr. Kalala states that the Government cannot manage this process alone, as its success depends on thorough consultation with all relevant bodies.

He explains that as a Civil Society Organisation, Chapter One believes in transparency and accountability, which must guide the entire consultation process.

Mr Kalala has further advised the committee to use this period to review past submissions from various stakeholders.

He adds that it is essential for understanding public concerns before any bills are potentially re-tabled in Parliament.

Given that the country is approaching elections in 2026, Mr. Kalala has urged the Government to take its time to avoid public misconceptions.
