OYV urges urgent convention on Bill of Rights referendum

Operation Young Vote (OYV) has observed the need for stakeholders to urgently convene and chat the way forward with regards the referendum on the bill of rights.

OYV Executive Director, Guess Nyirenda says his organization has welcomed and is in agreement with President Edgar Lungu’s stance that the country has no money at the moment to hold another referendum.

Mr. Nyirenda says what his organization wants is an assurance backed with an action plan that the nation will in due course hold another referendum and not simply making mere pronouncements.

He says President Lungu’s sincerity that government has no money for the holding of a referendum soon is appreciated.

Mr. Nyirenda says this is the more reason why the government should call for an urgent stakeholders meeting where these matters pertaining to the holding of a referendum must be agreed upon.
