NGOCC REJECTS BILL NO. 7

The Non-Governmental Gender Organisations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC) has firmly rejected the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Bill No. 7 of 2025, citing deep concerns over both the content and the opaque nature of the reform process.



The Chairperson Beauty Katebe says while they acknowledge certain positive elements within the Bill, such as efforts to curb by-election costs and improve legal clarity, NGOCC has condemned the overall process as lacking the transparency, inclusivity, and consultation it had anticipated.



She says of particular concern is the Bill’s failure to guarantee adequate representation for women, youth, and persons with disabilities groups that remain significantly underrepresented.



NGOCC has since called on the government to halt the current process and re-engage in a genuinely participatory and equitable constitutional reform.



Earlier NGOCC had supported the constitution amendments a position that they have now u-turned.

  1. There is well meaning person that would support bill 7. This is a personal project of Hakainde and his people so that they can suppress the rest of the country for as long as Hakainde is alive. These people have no interest in Zambia, just themselves. DO NOT BE FOOLED. DO NOT BE A FOOL.

    Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.

    God bless Captain Ibrahim Traore.

    VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

  2. Only a Tribal Fool sees other Zambians as “Them” and “Us”. For me I see no Tribe, all Zambians are my Brothers and Sisters. And a Politician will never pitch me or set me against my fellow Zambian. When I see a Politician, I see a Politician and I give no damn which part of Zambia he comes from. The Politicians who steal do so for themselves and their families and friends and never for their Tribe.

    • Well said…
      I just wonder why the Zambian Observer moderators have never barred the tribal fool for spreading his bigtory?
