There is no law that allows for a president to rule for 8 or 9 years in Zambia without holding an Election.
By Lusaka Lawyer Celestine Mambula Mukandila
Hon Cornelius Mweetwa MP must stop misleading Zambians on the pretext of defending his Boss’s careless unfounded talk on constitutional lacunae.
This government has clearly lost focus on anything and everything, they would do well to try and deliver on their promises to ensure we have amongst other things;
- A stable economy
-A stable currency - A stable supply of electricity
- lower cost of living
- lower prices for petroleum products
- lower cost of mielie meal
- conducive mining environment for small scale miners
- conducive mining environments for artisanal miners
- conducive environment for learners in schools
- stable supply of medicines in hospitals
- and a more stable moral society. Et’al
We have a good constitution which only requires anyone aggrieved to challenge provisions they feel have got lacunae in the Constitutional Court.
If Hakainde Hichilema and his cronies feel that our Constitution has got lacunae, the best thing a responsible hegemonist would do is to subject such a provision before a competent court for interpretation rather than alarming Zambians.
Let’s respect the law, Zambia is a Democratic country and, we the people have given ourselves a Constitution which must be respected by those we elect into political office.
Pls sue on the Mopani issue before you can offer any advice. We are tired of people that make empty threats and want to offer advice that they can not uphold.
Ama Jokers panse
Upon, ati Mukandila, just all comedy. This school we go to sometimes makes one very disgruntled. Always arguing to suit the self not looking at the broader picture. Awe sure.
To all those saying elections can not be postponed. Please give a clear answer what would happens if a candidate dies, gets disqualified or withdraws as stipulated in article 52(6).
Furthermore, for all PF supporters, if the constitution does not have lacunas and is perfect as you are now claiming, what was the purpose of the failed bill 10? Should we then take it that PF wanted to add something fishy to the “perfect” constitution?
They can not respond to that cause they know the truth. Instead even people like Abyudi Shonga are not addressing the point that was being made but respond to what they think he said.
Perception or rather deflection. And project their owm understanding of the point raised.
