OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT;
Dear Mr. President,
I’m writing to express my deep concern regarding your recent statement in parliament suggesting that our constitution has lacunas that could potentially allow us to go eight years without elections.
However, I’m strongly believe that the current issues facing our nation are not rooted in the constitution itself, but rather in the maladministration of your office.
The escalating cost of living, which has risen drastically over the past three years, is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention.
Furthermore, the frequent power outages, including the recent two-day blackout, have severely impacted businesses that rely heavily on electricity.
These are the real lacunas that need to be addressed, i urge you to prioritize the welfare of our citizens and focus on finding solutions to these critical problems.
The constitution, while imperfect, has provisions that ensure basic human rights and freedoms. It is not the constitution that is failing us, but rather the implementation of its principles.
In fact, constitutional experts suggest that a country’s constitution is not intended to be a human rights document, but rather a framework for governance.
Therefore, instead of blaming the constitution, we should focus on building a human rights culture in our governance system and society.
Implore you to reconsider your stance, for whatever reasons best known to yourself and work towards creating a more equitable society, where the rights of all citizens are protected and upheld.
Because that statement shows clearly that you are preparing the minds of the people on how far you’re willing to go, to prolong the team of your office.
There is wisdom, to respect the will and wishes of the people cause we own this country collectively it’s not a personal to order.
Sincerely,
Abraham Simpamba
Together We Can

The writer seem to be confusing himself, on one hand he underplays the importance of the constitution with regards with regards to human rights and on the other hand proposing for enhancing of human rights forgeting the very human rights are drawn from the very constitution, part 3 in particular. In other words, one can’t talk about human rights without the constitution because it’s the constitution which specify the very rights. Furthermore, constitution reforms and economic development are not mutual exclusive. In other words, they can be done simultaneously.
