Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) Leader Hakainde Hichilema has appealed to Members of Parliament to move a motion in parliament urging government to come up with a clear road map for the constitution making process.
And the UPND leader has maintained that there is a leadership vacuum in the country.
Addressing a media briefing in Lusaka this morning, Mr. Hichilema says it will be unacceptable to hold the 2016 general elections using the current outdated constitution.
Mr. Hichilema has accused new PF Secretary General Edgar Lungu of following in the footsteps of his predecessor Wynter Kabimba with regards the constitution making process.
The UPND leader says the PF government should stop speculating on the release of the final draft constitution but rather act on their promises.
And Mr. Hichilema says the country is in an emergency situation with regards the happenings at the University of Zambia (UNZA) main campus.
He says it is unfortunate that over 17, 000 students applied for admission at UNZA but only 14, 000 qualified and out of that only 6,000 were admitted and regrettably only 2,000 were awarded bursaries.
Mr. Hichilema states that government has up to now not given an appropriate response regarding the awarding of the bursaries to students.
Mr. Hichilema, who called for a moment of silence during the briefing for the first year student who committed suicide after being denied a bursary, says the blood of the student is on the heads of the PF leaders.
