The British government has voiced its concerns over the constitutional impasse between the government and the Technical Committee on the Constitution saying the matter should be resolved speedily.
Deputy High Commissioner to Zambia Shaun Melbourne said the constitution making process had dragged for too long and needed to be resolved amicably.
“We have noticed that this process has come a long way and hope that the matter should be resolved in the not too distant future,” Melbourne said.
“There is need for dialogue between the involved parties and ensure that the process is people driven. We are confident that an amicable solution will be reached to ensure that this matter is at least brought to an end.”
The Technical Committee on the Constitution has refused to sign the draft constitution after government ordered that only 10 copies be printed.
Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba ordered the Technical Committee not to simultaneously release the document to the public as laid down in the terms of reference.
