REDUCE PRESIDENTIAL TERM TO FOUR YEARS INSTEAD OF INCREASING IT, SAYS LUBINDA HAABAZOKA.
Economist Dr. Lubinda Haabazoka has suggested that Zambia should consider reducing the presidential term from five years to four years instead of pursuing proposals to increase the presidential term limit.
Zambia has maintained a five-year presidential term since independence in 1964.
Dr. Haabazoka argues that rather than debating an extension of presidential terms, Zambians should consider a four-year presidential term as an alternative proposal.
He says the proposal should be put forward to see whether the ruling party would be willing to embrace it.
“Reduce Presidential terms to 4 years and remove term limits,” Dr. Haabazoka wrote.
