SANGWA CALLS FOR PERMANENT WITHDRAWAL OF BILL 7.
Constitutional Lawyer John Sangwa says while the deferral of the constitution amendment Bill number 7 of 2025 by President Hakainde Hichilema to allow further consultation is welcome, the bill should be withdrawn permanently without compromise.
Mr. Sangwa claims that the deferral does not answer the constitutional violations already committed by advancing the bill and does not resolve the breach of public trust that its process represents.
Speaking during a Public Forum on the Constitutional Reform Process, Mr. Sangwa warned against applying double standards stating that the same way Bill 10 was rejected under President Lungu for undermining constitutionalism, Bill 7 should be rejected.
He argues that Bill 7 proposes sweeping changes that undermine democratic safeguards, silence voters and centralize power.
Mr. Sangwa has since charged that the Bill seeks among other goals to strip voters of power by allowing political parties and not citizens to fill parliamentary vacancies which he says is a direct attack on electoral sovereignty and voter choice.
Meanwhile, Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) President Lungusani Zulu says the deferral of the bill by President Hichilema is commendable and a positive development.
Mr. Zulu says the move presents citizens a great opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions on any reforms to the supreme law of the country, but urged that the consultations should be based on genuine, broad-based stakeholder consensus.
Is this their first time on a plane? Yah ubututu bwa muZambia!!! Even educated people are primitive….
Are you back from where you had gone to bury your fellow lawyer by the name of Edgar Chagwa Lungu. I see you now both SC on a pĺane in black, posing with full of happiness from the late lawyer ECL who deceived one of his his clients because of being greed of cash, that legacy had followed him through out up to his last full stop on earth.
Moreover, you were one of the lawyers who represented His Excillency President of the Republic of Zambia President HAKAINDE President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA in the 2016 presidential and general election case but you didn’t finish deffending your client HH in opposition by then because Lungu and his crooked cartel dribbled you on the 14 days of hearing and disposing ofg the case the case when the issue of holidays and week-ends if at all was part of the hindarance pause of the 14 days. That case up to now was not properly cleared – it is still in suspence. This issue or case id very alive in your eard and mind- you know it but when we want to correct the wrong, so that next time the same cannot intangle us by be repeating itself, you surprisingly, teist your tongue like a vulture? a lawyer lecturer, an institutional memory can fall like satan to be a voice mouse of PF thugs to ask for the withdrawal completely of bill 7 even comparing it with the evil bill 10 of PF. Are you really normal and at your oldself? to think so low like that? Why are you acting exactly like the evil fallen sunk PF TITANIC. Who together with Makabi Zulu is helmently refusing to have the remains of Lungu to be buried in Zambia when during KKs funeral they as PF and the likes of Lubinda and others defended the government position?. Surely what type of you people the so called lawyers being a let down to yourselves. Mundeke notu ma pictures- kwena kwangala-uko.
ZAMBIA UNDER HH SHALL PROSPER NO MATTER WHAT THE DEVIL WILL TRY BY ALL MEANS BUT THE LIGHT SHINES AND DARKNESS WILL UNDER SO WHATEVER DISAPEAR.
Late lawyer ECL who pretentiously anounced to the nation and put on national calender October 18 to be a holiday and a day for repentance and reconciliation but just like the way he signed the 2016 amendment constitution while sleeping yet it was intentional to blind the people, even the 18th day in october, a person even on his death bed still could not forgive HH whom he persecuted let alone reconcilliation. Amano yabukuluku – a snake pretending to be a dove. Amano yachabe.
Even you Sangwa who with the then right mind of being a renown lawyer, who guided the nation during the eligibilty of late Lungu case could fell in a club of evil dead crooks even when you are established in terms of everything including cash apart from being a Christian or is it, the birds of same furthers fly together.
Repent and return to your old ways.
