Mr. Sangwa said he expected a sense of urgency in developing the country as opposed to wasting time on what he termed as \u2018nonsense\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get disappointed because we should be doing better. If you ask me, I am disappointed, yes. I expected better than what we are seeing. What is even worse is when you use Edgar (Lungu) as your yardstick of performance,\u201d Mr. Sangwa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is a tragedy. I am not a spring chicken. I am an old guy. My concept of time is not your concept of time but also the country is not young. You cannot be struggling to develop 58 years after independence. When are you going to develop? There is a sense of urgency so we should be dealing with constructive issues rather than the kind of nonsense that is going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the reference to the election saga in Kabushi and Kwacha Constituencies, Mr. Sangwa said the barring of candidates from standing in elections was unacceptable. He said institutions like the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) cannot use the law to legislate against those they perceive as bad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will always be people that will abuse things. It doesn\u2019t then mean a provision is bad because it is open to abuse. No. You want to bar [Bowman] Lusambo and [Joseph] Malanji, why? There is no reason. In the case of Lusambo, it was that he was involved in violence and everything else. They said \u2018we are nullifying you but does the law say he was disqualified? No. Did the court (Constitutional Court) say \u2018because your seat has been nullified, you cannot contest again?\u2019 The court never said that and in any case nobody went to court to ask the court to disqualify Lusambo, no. The issue was election to be nullified and the court pronounced on that. So we can\u2019t begin to put in other things which the court did not say,\u201d Sangwa said. \u201c\u2026you have your own Minister of Justice who comes and puts his own juvenile interpretation of the Constitution after a judgment. Who is he? Where does he derive the power to tell us what the Constitution should be? He is a civil servant. The eligibility issue is a party issue. You cannot use a government office to pass a party agenda. You can\u2019t and these are the same things we were condemning (former president) Lungu for and they are doing exactly the same thing if not worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sangwa said it was wrong for the Electoral Commission of Zambia to use bogus interpretation of law to bar people from exercising their democratic right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot prevent a candidate from taking part in an election through some bogus interpretation of the law on your own without the court pronouncing. You can\u2019t. What should have happened is Lusambo and Malanji should have been allowed to file their papers and their papers should have been accepted and then allow anybody who is not happy, who believes they shouldn\u2019t contest to challenge and go to court. In this case ECZ took a political stand. Instead of maintaining its neutrality, it now became an agent of UPND,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if the challenge succeeds or does not, you still have the voters \u2013 will still be able to cast their vote and tell you who they want and it happened with Lungu. We went to court\u2026but the people said \u2018we have the final say\u2019. We sorted him out through the ballot but nobody prevented him from putting his name on the ballot.\u201d Mr. Sangwa said Zambians must not attack courts, judges and the Constitution because of those that wanted to abuse the law for selfish reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven that same word lacuna, a lucuna presupposes that we know what the ideal constitution should be. It means we must judge our Constitution against another constitution. When you say there is a lucuna you are saying there is something missing. For example, how do I know there is a missing piece? Because science has proven that a normal human being has X number of teeth. A normal human being must have X number of ribs. Now the moment you have X less number of ribs it means there is something abnormal. Now tell me what is a normal constitution? Does anybody know what a normal constitution is? A constitution varies from country to country. So you can\u2019t say the constitution has lacuna. What lacuna? There is no such thing as a lacuna in the constitution. You take it the way it was drafted and you work with it,\u201d Mr. Sangwa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing we can do is to reach a stage where you say guys \u2018we don\u2019t think this Constitution is working for us\u2019 or you say \u2018we want to become a one party state\u2019. The question is this Constitution can it support one party-state? If you conclude that no it can\u2019t, then you change it so that it now supports a one-party-state. But you can\u2019t say it has a lacuna. If the constitution is silent on something that is what was intended. That is the way it is designed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added \u201cwe have to respect the Constitution because everyone will have his or her opinion as to what the Constitution should or not do.\u201d Mr. Sangwa warned: \u201cThe moment you depart from that you are breeding lawlessness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
