CONSTITUTION MAKING AND HICHILEMA’S COMMITTEE OF PRAISE SINGERS
By Sishuwa Sishuwa
In addition to the likes of Felicity Kalunga (a recent PhD graduate in constitutional law from Cardiff University) and Landilani Banda (another recent PhD graduate in human rights law from the University of Pretoria), I wish the president had appointed genuine experts like O’Brien Kaaba, Muna Ndulo and many others who are well versed in these matters.
Talent is not randomly distributed; one has to search for it. Zambia is not short of men and women of integrity who are experts in constitution making. He has a wider pool to choose from and this wider pool, I must mention, excludes me.
Anyway, I suppose it’s all contrived. The president has no intention of doing the right thing and wants to have the last word. What a pity and a missed opportunity to show leadership on an important national subject where we all need to pull together!
It appears the motive of putting up this team is to show minimum compliance with the Constitutional Court ruling but use the ruling party’s/Praise Team’s numerical superiority on the committee to come up with a bill that would be similar to the one that was declared unconstitutional.
So the three independents are being used to legitimise a sham committee. I hope they can respectfully decline the appointment so that they do not ruin their professional reputation under the umbrella of collective (ir)responsibility.
I really wish the president would learn to actively listen and build consensus on certain national issues.

Sishua should respect the men and women appointed for this task. They all have what it takes. He mentions that the President should have included Muna Ndulo and Obrien Kaaba. Sishua was going to be the first one to cry that they are Tonga and tribalism. Anyway, what can you expect from this Sishua cadre? Does anyone respect what he writes!
This historian knows a lot about who is a good lawyer
At times the learned think they are the only ones who know !!!!
There are many out there who can do this assignment bo Sishuwa.
Don’t twist issues here…. talk what thought the president would do – Appoint his tribesmen and cousins…
If you feel you are too good, kindly call the president for a slot. It’s not too late yet. I am sure the president can accommodate you, but knowing you, you could have easily refused and thrown it back at the president. The problem with you sir is that you oppose everything coming from state house. You people have been crying for this, the moment you are given, again you change goal posts.
Move on do not listen to this full of himself. The president has a job
There comes ban educated young FOOL. Some of us are fed up of your baseless criticism. Kindly keep it to yourself sishuwa. It doesn’t add any value to society.
The incessant criticism from Dr. Sishuwa is disturbing. It’s like he is always crying wolf and risks being ignored even when he is onto something big.
Yes, Prof. Ndulo is a constitution expert but it is also important to give chance to others instead of the same names popping up all the time. Let’s see how the committee performs instead of hurling stones at them before they even have their first sitting.
Self overrated
