Professor of the Human rights law, at the University of Pretoria, Michelo Hansugule has charged that government’s failure to commit to constitution making in the 2011 budget is testimony that the document will not be ready for the 2011 tripartite elections.
Professor Hansungule said it is finally evident that government has no intention of persuing the constitution making process next year.
He said what the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) government has done is to make a public announcement that elections are more important that finalizing the constitution which should be a good democratic premise for development.
The Professor noted that the overall reformation of the constitution will never be done before the 2011 elections and the omission of its commitment in the 2011 national budget only shows that government is giving up on the matter.
Meanwhile Professor Hansungule has observed that the revised electoral code of conduct which empowers the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is a positive stride.
He said what is reassuring about the new code of conduct is that even without the new constitution in place, it can be enforced in totality.

The whole NCC was a scam to steal money.Levy was told but because of greed (MHSRIP) he was too stubborn with his digraced Nkunda.
How much taxpayers money was pumped in to pay the likes of Edwin Lifwekelo,Masupa & a horde of other opportunists.
POSTERITY WILL JUDGE WHAT TYPE OF LEADERS WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY. THOSE WHO RIGHTLY OPPOSED THE NCC WHERE CALLED ALL SORTS OF NAMES. IT IS A PITY THAT RB WHO WAS VICE PRESIDENT THEN AND KUNDA WHO WAS CHIEF ADVISOR AND MAIN PROPONENT OF THE NCC CAN NOW SIT QUIETLY AS IF NO FUNDS WERE WASTED ON THE NCC DOCUMENT WHICH IS ALREADY GATHERING DUST IN THE ARCHIVES. THIS NCC WAS IT ANOTHER WAY OF ENRICHING SOME FEW INDIVIDUALS? NOW THE ACC ACT IS BEING MUTILATED IN A SIMILAR FASHION. WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO? PARLIAMENT SHOULD BE STRENGTHENED TO CURB SOME OF THESE WHITE COLLAR CRIMES IN OUR MIDST.

This Prof. Michelo Handungule tals to much from outside in Pretoria. Why acnt he come back and lecture at UNza where he started from. He is busy building the interlectual capacity of South Africans instead of the Zambians. Bwela kumushi your time of talking from outside is over we need your briliant ideas here. We are heading towards general elections and has not hear from Prof. Chirwa, Chinsembu and the likes. Come and join hands with us not sitting on the fence. COME HOME AND JOIN HANDS WITH US.
Investigator,how can people come to Zambia with that rotten system in place.Why should i leave my comfortable life here & come and argue with William Banda & Dola Yasila.Yes our hearts are home thats the reason we are not quiet.In mature countries citizens vote even when they are outside their countries.
Professor Hansungule – the constitution making process is done. I thought they had a deadline of August 2010? If money had been allocated to this process for 2011 you were going to be the first one to cry murder. I have serious doubts about your intellect – sorry.
