Come Out Clean on Draft Constitution – Fr Chiti Constitution making coalition chairperson Father Leonard Chiti has pleaded with the Patriotic Front government to come out clean on the constitution. Father Chiti said he understood that looking at the leaked draft document the government is nervous about the progressive clauses that could spread power across the national spectrum. He said the people were curious about the document President Michael Sata had and were looking forward to compare with the leaked one. “We are urging them to come out clean on the issue of the draft constitution. We now understand that they are nervous because we have seen what clauses the document contains and we are able to compare once they release the one they have that was handed by the Technical Committee,” Fr Chiti said. Pressure has continued to mount on President Sata to state what happened to the 10 draft constitution copies that the Technical Committee handed over to him. Attempts to deny that they never received the document have since been universally rebutted and the government seemed stuck with how to proceed on the matter. The PF had promised to deliver a people driven constitution in 90 days once in power but have clocked more than two years without delivering. zambiareports/2014/01/18/come-out-clean-on-draft-constitution-fr-citi/
