President Lungu presented with constitution bills

President Edgar Lungu has been presented with the constitution of Zambia bill no.16 and the constitution amendment bill no.17 of 2015.

Clerk of the National Assembly Doris Mwiinga presented the documents to the president on behalf of the Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini.

And speaking after receiving the bills, President Lungu promised to sign the bills into law in the first week of January 2016.

He said he would have signed the bill immediately, but was unable to do so due to the petition he has received from Heritage party president Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda which he intends to study and reflect on.

President Lungu says he wants to give the people of Zambia what they want; adding that in a democracy one should do what the majority wants.
