STATEMENT ON THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE TASKED TO CONSULT THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
The fact that the terms of reference of the Technical Committee appointed to consult the people of Zambia and make amendments to the Constitution have not been released suggests that the terms of reference may not be in the best interests of Zambians. The duties of the Technical Committee are public, and therefore the terms of reference and the proceedings of the Technical Committee must be open to public scrutiny.
It is also worth nothing that the Constitutional provisions under which the Technical Committee has been appointed, being Articles 92(2)(f) and 92(2)(j) do not give the President with the powers to create this kind of committee. All previous Constitutional Commissions and Technical Committees have in the past been created under the Inquiries Act which prescribes the powers of a Commission or Technical Committee to undertake an exercise such as a constitutional review process.
Without being properly constituted by a prescribed law, that is the Inquiries Act, the creation of the Technical Committee is illegal. The fact that the terms of reference are being withheld from the public adds to the disquiet that the process may lead to undesirable results. I would urge all well-meaning Technical Committee members to consider resigning if indeed their mandate does not meet the needs and will of the people of Zambia.

For a Young 23 year old English footballer to be vilified, bullied, embarrassed and totally strip down at a time when you’re meant to be celebrating a transfer worth £55 million. Yes a young kid with a dream about to secure a £55 million dream move to a club of his desire leaving a rival at that to be treated in this manner via section of the Arsenal fan base is an utter disgrace. Just put yourself in his shoes for one minute just put yourself in his parents shoes for one minute and just think of how that feeling must be. I’ll say it again, at a time as a player as a human as a family you should be celebrating. I just hope the people that are closest to him are around him and supporting him in the way that he needs right now.
It’s fine for fans to disagree with signings or decisions made at their football club but the way some fans have publicly voiced their opinions and those who have gone a step further in publicly joining a petition for this player not to be signed by their football club is beyond me. I have never seen anything like this before, and I hope I don’t ever again. Like I said earlier just imagine this was your best friend, one of your family members, your brother, son…then tell me how would you feel if they were on the receiving end of this vulgar behaviour ???
By the way, This isn’t aimed at all Arsenal fans it’s just a small section who have become very loud unfortunately.
I just hope the transfer goes through and Noni Madueke
rams all of this negativity back down the throats of these impostors.
Whatever happens from here good luck Noni.

He has ACTED! DECISIVELY! Go argue with a wall!
National Police Commissioner please suspend SIBIYA with IMMEDIATE effect! Or else, he will undermine this commission.
Return all dockets of the Political Task Team Unit and let them make their arrests!
Danko!
So @realDonaldTrump says political warfare in court rooms only happens in 3rd world Countries and banana republics. Guess America is not so great after all.
