M’membe a danger to constitutionalism

KABANDA CHULU
Lusaka
STATE House Chief Communication Specialist Clayson Hamasaka has urged Zambians not to listen to Socialist Party leader Fred M’membe because he will abolish the
Constitution and rule the country by decree in the unlikely event that he becomes president.
Mr Hamasaka said the Zambian Constitution is very clear in terms of the role and place of traditional leaders.
“We have noted with grave concern that a leader of the globally defunct socialist movement in Zambia is propagating an idea of appointing Zambian traditional leaders into roles not provided for under the current Constitution of our republic,” he said.
“Traditional leaders are important custodians of our national cultures, traditions and customs, and it is for this reason that the UPND government is investing heavily in the uplifting of their palaces, including improving their conditions and benefits and those of their support staff.”..https://enews.daily-mail.co.zm/
