Dr. MUMBA Backs Constitution Amendments

By Wilson Mulinda

MMD President NEVERS MUMBA says the proposed constitution amendments are aimed at addressing lapses that hinder and segregate some sections of society from participating in national development.

Dr. MUMBA, who is also UPND Alliance Member, says the move to amend some clauses in the constitution is out of honesty by President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA.

Speaking during a press briefing in Lusaka today, Dr. MUMBA said President HICHILEMA does not want to abuse his powers and extend his stay in office, but is asking that the right thing is done through constitution amendments.

Dr. MUMBA said following the release of the clauses to be amended, the opposition no longer have a reason to misinform the public.

Meanwhile, UPND Secretary General BATUKE IMENDA has challenged the opposition not to create illusions that President HICHILEMA is trying to extend his powers of appointing more numbers of nominated MPs.

Mr. IMENDA said it is important to give views based on credibility.
