Africa-Press – Zambia. Some bitter souls over the collapse of Bill 10 have attributed the current debate on Article 52(6) on cancellation of nominations by ECZ on account of resignation, death and disqualification of a candidate to collapse of Bill 10.
For the sake of those who didn’t follow the provisions of the collapsed Bill 10, the Bill wanted to repeal whole article with the aim of fighting the eligibility clause which was Art 52(4) because they thought would disadvantage President EDGAR CHAGWA Lungu.
BILL 10 never intended to address the challenges found in Article 52(6) at all. Instead Bill 10 was more interested in ensuring that those in electable positions stay on in their Offices until election date which AUGUST 12
Bill 10 intended to introduced unexplained mixed member electoral system (MMES) and ensure ministers and Mps were back into councils. BILL 10 aimed at seeing to it that mayors/ chairpersons were elected by fellow Councilors than the residents.
With what I have highlighted where was the good of Bill 10? It was a luciferian document and shall remain so. Those still bitter with the collapse of Bill 10, kindly move on. What we need is genuine constitutional and legal reforms not matokoso ya Bill 10.
