A leading civil society organization has said President Michael Sata’s silence on the constitution is fuelling speculation.
And the Technical Committee on the Constitution is set to meet tomorrow to forge the way forward on the constitution.
Foundation for Democratic Process Executive Director MacDonald Chipenzi said there had been no attempt by government to dispel rumours that a 10 member committee has been formed to validate the draft constitution with the Technical Committee refusing to sign the draft constitution following government’s diverting from the original plan.
Chipenzi said government needed to clarify on its intentions to form a ten member committee to take over the constitution making process.
“We want to challenge government on revelations that they intend to form a 10 member committee to validate the draft constitution and also on reports that government intends to extend the duration,” he said.
Chipenzi also demanded that the details of the meeting between President Sata and the Technical Committee be made public.
Meanwhile, the Technical Committee is set to meet tomorrow to decide on their next step following government’s order that they print only 10 copies for the President alone.
