The Oasis Forum says the Patriotic Front government is cheating itself if it thinks that Zambians will give up on their demand for a new constitution.
Group spokesperson Father Cleopas Lungu said there will be no backing out on the constitution as Zambians had been duped for a long time.
He said President Michael Sata had no choice but to listen on the constitution.
“We will not give up on this fight until President Sata and his PF government listen to our demands. This is not a PF constitution, it is a people’s document and our view is that it must be people driven,” Fr Lungu said.
“No one has a right to hide it from the people. We are going to pressure government to release the draft constitution so that Zambians can have the document that has eluded them for a long time.”
President Sata, who had been a long time advocate of a people driven constitution, has u-turned on his promise and turned vicious critic of the constitution making process.
His government has refused to move since the Technical Committee on the constitution wound up their work in October, 2013.
