President Edgar Lungu has been praised for distancing himself from the maneuvers to defer the 2016 general elections to 2022.
The Southern African Center for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) by allowing the courts to make ruling on the matter, President has shown to the nation that there was no involvement of the high authorities in the maneuvers to have the general elections deferred.
Executive Director Boniface Cheembe says his organization does trust that the Courts will in the same vein do what is right thing in terms of presiding over the matter.

Mr. Cheembe has told Qfm News in an interview that what SACCORD however believes is that Zambia has more important issues that need to be addressed and therefore need not be distracted.
He says his organization thinks that the country needs to make progress in the many issues that have been of public debate such as the Public Order Act and the constitution making process.
Mr. Cheembe has advised that the country needs to start planning for the long run as opposed to being stack with the same issues.
He explains that this means that the Zambia should now start making strides in reducing high poverty levels and unemployment among other issues affecting the people of Zambia.
