He Wants a 7-year term, and Abolish 50%+1, Running Mate Clause
Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba Wrote;
President Hakainde Hichilema has been preaching about the so-called-need to amend the Constitution.
His call is not founded in sincerity or honesty.
It’s not about including or facilitating the delimitation of constituencies, remove lacunas or provide for proportional representation. He wants to;
1. 7-year presidential term- extend term limit from 5 years to 7 years.
2. Abolish presidential term limits.
3. He wants to remove 50%+1 and return to First Past the Post.
4. Abolish running mate clause.
5. Abolish Constitutional Court.
He has been seceretely meeting some Patriotic Front Members of Parliament to garner support and we are aware of his remarks to the caucus of party amd his MPs
We are aware how he pushed Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti to attempt to process amendments of “non-contentious” clauses of the Constitution.
We need to recognise that President Hichilema has fostered a tyranical rule and a dictatorship.
He has demonstrated clearly that he doesnt not respect the principle of seperation of powers, he has taken over the control of Parliament, the Judiciary and Electoral Commission of Zambia.
He has weaponised law enforcement agencies as tools of oppression against his critics and political opponents.
Allowing him to process constitutional amendments a year before elections, would be suicidal, and will make us surrender our collective will to him to help codify or enact a dictorship.
There are some things which one reads and wonders, which country is the writer talking about? I do not recognise this in Zambia at all. All opposition members who have had a brush with the law have committed crimes. Tell us Mr Mwamba. Where do you think Mr Edgar Lungu got the money he dished out to his family and friends? Point at one person who is incorrectly in prison right now.
Name the PF MPs who have been met secretly so that the Zambian people can interrogate them. I know that you were once an Intelligence agent yourself, but the train you travelled on moved on and the few friends who you know in thoses circles are lying to you, so be very careful.
Maybe you are talking to yourself.
You look like having nothing to tell the people. Anyway if yourselves wanted Bill 10, why should we not want Bill Anything and push the agenda.
The only reason you are affected is not really that changes to the constitution will reduce the democratic space. Your problem is that you dont want that to be done by HH but you want the constitution to be left like that so that you do the same changes yourself when you come to power in 2090. Your real problem is HH a Tonga, being president of Zambia. Lets face it. Emmanuel mwamba that is your real problem. As if you are the biggest Bemba petson, your agenda is to bring back a Bemba to be the president. Bemba Hegemony is your problem. Only a Bemba must rule Zambia according to you. This is your real problem. Instead of talking out yr real problem, you start beating about the bush, spewing lies after lies against HH. It wont help you. In 2090 when your Bemba prefered president takes over, you will be just quiet even if he becomes autocratic, despotic, violent and corupt. Just bcos he will be a Bemba. So we know your agenda. Your tuntrums hv nothing to do with bad governance at present but hv much to do with a Tonga being the president. Well push your agenda, only then will you know the substance that makes HH. CUT my both arms if you succeed with your hord of lies. Otherwise probability indicates 2090 as the possible nearest year for regime change. Weather you will be the incoming or a different party other than Pf is another thing to consider on yr part
Pathological liar.
Mwamba the PF presidential aspirant! The opposition camp is full of jokers.
This is speculation, guess work which is not based on facts, but on bitterness, malice and a calculated intention by Bwamba to manipulate the narrative in order to secure asylum in the USA. Bwamba is a fugitive from the law and has not one, but TWO arrest warrants hanging over his head. The one thing Bwamba has distinguished himself in doing is DEMONISING the current regime and HH. HH has a life and a solid means of income outside politics. He even gives away his monthly presidential salary to support students at our higher institutions of learning. He is there to serve, not to enrich himself.
So the narrative of 7 year term is an ill fitting fantasy fabricated by broke ass niggaz, thieves, career criminals, fugitives, liars and idiots who would have done a 7 year term heist had they themselves been in power. It does not fit in, it does not align with the simple fact that HH has an alternative career as a hugely successful cattle rancher. He has nothing to gain by extending the term of office.
Just come of your hiding and avail yourself for trial, your days of relevance are fast dwindling. UPND has the numbers to change the conditions if they saw wish but the president doesn’t want to do that, you are just hallucinating
Where is evidence mwamba?!??
Our man is self destructing in real time by going on a solo mission to amend the constitution. This is the battle he can’t win.
He is stirring a hornet’s nest.
Zambians do have red lines too. Assume they are docile as super cooled ice at your own peril.
And once you cross the Red Lines , you become garbage, only fit for the garbage dump.
First he said there were lacunae in the constitution which needed amending…then he talked about some delimitation of Constituencies….Now he is talking about proportional representation..and having agreed with Zambians to change the Constitution by 2026.
I don’t know what he will talk about next time..
Am finding the behavior of our man very worrying. In his own visions, hearing strange Voices may be where there are none, hallucinations and figments of the mind, he has agreed with Zambians to change the Constitution before 2026… actually meaning in 2025! This is jaw dropping.
May his handlers, if he has any, talk to him without delay so that he goes on vacation.. some rest just with family, may be have even some psychiatric evaluation . His behavior is very worrying. He seems to be off the rails.
One may be condemning some one, when he or she is just sick..
Strange times in our Land!
Even if HH needs to rule for 15 years there is no problem.at least he is better amongst you all jokers.mr mwamba you can not be a president not even a party leader.
Where is this Mwamba getting all these crazy ideas?! Right now, there is no opposition which can get even 5% if elections were held today. UPND would get 90% votes.
7 only not 10,if what Mwamba is saying it’s true why not 10. He is the best presido after KK .HH7 no size, rant for whatever you like some of you are used for doing nothing and getting paid for that. Now the playing level field has been made even, let’s complete bane.
