Parliamentary Chief Whip Vernon Mwaanga says government will soon outline the way forward on the constitution making process.

Mr Mwaanga said it is irresponsible and mischievous for some Members of Parliament to suggest that government has abandoned the constitution making process.

He said this in parliament Tuesday evening in his contribution to debate on President Rupiah Banda’s speech to Parliament.

Mr Mwaanga also paid glowing tribute to some UPND, UNIP, FDD and PF Members of Parliament for their contribution towards the constitution making process.

And Deputy Minister of Community Development and Social Services Adons Mufalali said four thousand women have benefited from the Women Economic Empowerment Programme in the country.

Government had set aside five billion kwacha for the Women Economic Empowerment Programme.

And Minister of Home Affairs Mkhondo Lungu said the successful implementation of government programmes is as a result of the peace Zambia is enjoying.

I just wonder how old you are and whether you were brought in zambia or as an alien chap. Grow up, no wonder at your age you still strugglin bcoz of your manners. Respect older pipo, your destiny is not found in any political party, your destiny is in your hands. If you dont change that mindset, you will contnue to be where you are now, ten years from now. :-w

Cant this chiMwanga retire on health gounds? These people are losers so they dont give a damn about the entire nation, hence they cling on to power at all costs even if they expose their their funny looking heads in public. By the way, what is that bolt stuck in his ARV-riddled head?

ALL SAID. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE PRESIDENT DID NOT MAKE ANY REFERENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION MAKING PROCESS AFTER SPENDING BILLIONS OF TAX PAYERS MONEY AT HOME AND ABROAD IN FORM OF DONOR FUNDS. SO THERE WAS NO IRRESPONSIBLITY AND MISCHIEF BY OUR HONOURABLE MPS WHO ALLUDED TO THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE IN PARLIAMENT. MAY BE IT WAS IGNORED DELIBERATELY.

I guess the Kenyan constitution, the best in Africa, has left them thinking. There are probably re-thinking it altogether as it pales in comparison. Not a bad idea.
