We keep hearing popup statements that Bill 7 is going back to Parliament.
Sounds like the nation is being primed to expect the Bill’s retabling.
All I know is that, for that to happen without the promised meaningful consultation of citizens on what they want to see in their Constitution, President Hichilema would have to be prepared to go completley against his word.
If Bill 7 goes back to Parliament without the consultative steps the President categorically promised to multiple groups that he, himself, invited to State House, he would have to not be believed when he speaks to the nation.
Beyond the face to face baritone promise made to a room full of people, deferment of Bill 7until full consultation was announced, on the Kateks’ behalf, on the famous Orange Headed Paper,
Maybe the President’s people should read the second paragraph of the statement below, then give it to the President to re-read it.
Together they should then have a one agenda meeting – What did we promise the nation? If they can still force Bill 7 through after that, ninshi batidoba.
What a huge risk to take – to lose the gravitas of your word, as leader.
The question would be why? What magic is in Bill 7 that the President do that to himself?
Despite me not supporting some of the current government stands, I think think they have done some positive things to deserve another term, but biil 7 is really a terminal cancer. I wonder why people choose suicide. I would be frightened to vote for people who want bill 7.
Bill 7 is DEAD and buried. Whoever tries to resurrect it will be buried as well.
Bill 7 is absolutely marvelous and fantastic.
We want it as yesterday. CDF increase to K40 million has to develop even the bigger otherwise vast constituencies.
If Malawi which is smaller than Zambia can have more tha 200 constituencies what more Zambia which is bohger than Malawi to only have 156 constituencies.
The confusion in tbe 14 days when there’s a presidential election partition let it be specific and clearly stated.
Resigning after nomination which forces new nomination dates and days and deferring the election which can be perpetual.

Increase of CDF in constituencies. Developmwn to bigger constituencies should also be seen as in small ones but without delimitation nothing will hsppen – this is indirect segregation .
Bill 7 is still alive and living. We want to assoiate with it
