United Party for National Development Vice President Canicius Banda says by declaring that there is no need for a new constitution, the Patriotic Front has crossed the political point of no return.
Dr Banda said the PF had taken the Zambian public for a ride after promising to deliver a new constitution in 90 days.
President Michael Sata on Saturday said the current Zambian constitution was okay and only needed minor amendments.
“From 90 days, we were then told later [to wait]; and now it is not at all. The lie on the Republican Constitution has now run its full cycle,” said Banda.
“In case you had doubts about the PF [Zambia's ruling party] being full of deception, now you know. Republican President Michael Sata has put the last nail in the PF’s coffin by stating that there is NO need for a new republican constitution.”
He said, “With those words of his even hardcore PF members must now know that the end of the PF’s reign is now near. The unthinkable has happened. A mortal sin has now been committed by the PF. They have crossed the political point-of-no-return. “
Banda likened the PF to snakes for lying to the Zambian public about delivering a new constitution.
“The revelation is now complete. We have ‘snakes’ in power. They must go! And our reign must now dawn. The dawn of freedom and truth. The dawn of a new nation, one with fresh and unadulterated blood! “ he said.
“On the flipside, had there been political will and respect for truth, we just might have had a new republican constitution in 90 days! But then we were told that those promises were mere ‘proverbs’. Whoever told the PF that proverbs were synonymous with lies! Proverbs are wise sayings. So what wisdom is there in a ruling party deceiving citizens?”
