Technical committee on constitution is a dead project – Changala
By Mubanga Mubanga
Civil rights activist Brebner Changala says the technical committee that has been constituted to amend the constitution by President Hakainde Hichilema are a “brought in dead” project.
Speaking in an interview with Daily Revelation yesterday, Changala said the technical committee has been made to do an exercise that has been roundly condemned by the Zambian people.
“The technical committee that was appointed by the president, is a bid, it is a bid brought in dead. It has been made to do an exercise that has been roundly condemned, roundly rejected by society.
This bill, bill ten (7) has been declared unconstitutional by the constitutional court. So, the government through the executive wants to facade the people of Zambia,” Changala said. “But l want to remind them that the constitution is not for one individual, it is not for a political party.

Hakainde is a joke. A total joke.
He is Treating Zambians like Kids, or Imbeciles on his Constitutional Amendment Charade and Misadventures. Besides the terms of reference being a Camouflaged Illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7,
there’s simply no Time to handle this exercise. The man should have embarked on this in 2022.
This so called Technical Committee is supposed to receive submissions from Zambians in 10 days! This is an Impossibility..and no one in that Committee is principled enough to tell the appointing authority that this is a futile project. A Still Born Project.
Yesterday they were before some Chiefs , presented the Terms of Reference and asked them to make Submissions! You give the chiefs , and just a tiny fraction of them, a few minutes to read the terms, and ask them to make Submissions there and then??? And you call your self a Technical Committee on Constitutional Amendments?? Do you know how Chief Doms are run, how many Chiefs we have in our Provinces, and the geographical spread??
Today this committee is expected to be at the provincial center to receive submissions from the public. And tomorrow the exercise is done in the 4 provinces, and they go to some other areas!
How can one classify these useless Stunts masquerading as Consultations ?
This can not be far from Public Nuis*nce.
How fully grown Adults, educated for that matter can accept to be made to look foolish to the public by accepting to be on a Committee doomed for failure beats my mind.
This indeed is Public Nuis*nce!
But abena changala. I see why the Lord Jesus Christ said in Luke 9 v 61 said to that guy like you that let the dead burry their own dead.
The Constitution amendment bill 7i is very much alive
