Give clear constitutional roadmap – UPND asks Lungu

Mapani Moono

The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has called on President Lungu to clearly indicate when the people of Zambia will see a new republican constitution.

UPND Chairperson for Rural Development Mapani Moono says the people are still waiting to hear from the Head of State as to whether the country will have a new constitution before the general elections or not.

Mr. Moono says President Lungu during campaigns ahead of January 20^th Presidential by-elections made it clear that he will not hesitate to deliver a new constitution before the next general elections.

Mr. Moono says President Lungu should take advantage of this month’s address to parliament to give his clear position regarding the constitution so that people should know what is coming ahead of them.

And Mr. Moono has asked President Lungu to show leadership and give clear direction where he is taking the country to.

He says agriculture, economy, mining, health and education policies being implemented by the PF are not inspiring confidence in the minds of the people and thus the need for him to clearly indicate how he will address challenges in these sectors.

He adds that President Lungu should also show political will in creating employment opportunities not just mare pronouncements without action but that he should fulfill his promises of creating jobs for young people.
