Constitution Indaba Meaningless without Draft – Chanda Open Society Foundation says the proposed constitution indaba will be meaningless without the draft constitution. Executive Director Sunday Chanda who was once a sworn Patriotic Front cadre said everyone knew what needed to be done and holding an indaba was just a waste of time. Chanda said the indaba will only drag the process further. “There is no need for an indaba we all know where we are and why we are stuck. The President appointed a technical committee and the final draft constitution is there which has been stuck and now you want to go to the indaba and discuss what?” he said. “You cannot talk about an indaba on the constitution without having the draft constitution. Without looking at the contents what are you going to be discussing? So this indaba is not going to do anything.” The Southern African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) has set April, 30 as the day for the indaba that is not yet clear whether President Michael Sata will attend or not. Sixteen opposition political parties have written to President Sata asking him to convene an indaba over the stalled constitution making process. zambiareports/2014/04/23/constitution-indaba-meaningless-without-draft-chanda/
