COMPROMISED PF MPs BACKING RUSHED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT WILL BE DECAMPAIGNED – HON MUNDUBILE WARNS.
LUSAKA………Friday, 14th March, 2025 (Smart Eagles).
Mporokoso Member of Parliament Brian Mundubile has urged Citizens to reject attempts to amend the Constitution in the rushed manner the UPND are proposing.
Speaking at a Press Briefing in Lusaka today, Hon Mundubile said the process must be subjected to a wide consultation upon which it must be agreed on the provisions that need to be amended.
He said the process must be put away, a new consultative process must be initiated, one that should be accompanied by accountability and dialogue.
He said the PF MPs under Tonse Alliance will therefore not support the rushed constitutional Amendment at this time.
Hon Mundubile has also warned that compromised PF MPs that will support the UPND’s rushed constitutional amendments will be decampaigned in their constituencies.
“In cases where some MPs are compromised, the Party will partner with the Church and the people and move in their constituencies to tell the people that they have been betrayed by their representatives who accepted a flawed Constitutional Amendment Process.
We will go flat out and decampaign them. We will not sit back and watch the UPND violate the Constitution Amendment Processes,” he said.
Hon Mundibile has since urged President Hakainde Hichilema to direct his energies towards reducing the High Cost of Living.
“My advice to the UPND is that instead of spending so much time on this process, they must ensure that they reduce the High cost of Living. We feel if President Hakainde Hichilema went back to his friends who had promised to give him $25 billion, he can reduce the cost of energy, fuel, dollar and many other things.
It will be very difficult for the Zambians to give him a second chance if he fails to bring down the exchange rate, cost of mealie meal, fertiliser, if he continues with selective application of the law and many other governance ills that we are witnessing today, it will be an uphill battle for Mr Hichilema to win 2026 because Zambians are interested to go back to a country where they feel free,” he said
