Let Lungu serve two full terms – Kapata

Jean Kapata

Member of the Patriotic Front Central Committee Jean Kapata has suggested that President Edgar Lungu should be given chance to serve two full terms.

Ms Kapata says the current term that President Lungu is serving was not his but for late Republican President Michael Sata and that he is just finishing it through to 2016.

Ms Kapata, who is also Mandemvu PF Member of Parliament, says President Lungu should be given a chance to stand even in 2021 so as to serve two full terms and finished the one left by President Sata.

She says the current debate on President Lungu serving a full term now through to 2020 is unconstitutional and that people should not manipulate the constitution.

The Tourism and Arts Minister adds that the constitution is very clear on such issues and that it would be unfair for some people to start championing for some issues.
