THE National Democratic Focus (NDF) has called for patience and understanding among stakeholders involved in the Constitution-making process.
NDF president, Ben Mwila said in Lusaka yesterday that his party was impressed that there was understanding among stakeholders regarding the need for a new Constitution before 2011 elections.
The party is also in favour of holding an indaba as it was a sure way of fostering peace and unity in the face of the current impasse over the roadmap to adopt the Constitution.
Mr Mwila, who is Nchelenge member of Parliament said the indaba should be able to discuss the roadmaps provided by the Government and the civil society organisations.
Mr Mwila said Zambia had come a long way in developing the Constitution that would stand the test of time and it was imperative that stakeholders came to round table discussions to reach consensus.
He said Zambians had managed to resolve several complicated matters in the past and was certain that a lasting solution to the Constitution process would be found.
He said stakeholders should work together so that the peace that the country continued to enjoy was not disturbed.
“These differences are capable of being harmonised. Let us summon the will and determination and the patriotism to do so,†Mr Mwila said.
The NDF had carried Constitution consultations among its members in six provinces where the majority supported the enactment of the Constitution through a Constituent Assembly as recommended by the Constitution Review Commission (CRC).
“We should rekindle the spirit that characterised our return to multi-party politics in the early 90s. There were differences between the Government and the opposition but a serious crisis was prevented through the church brokered talks.
We were able to achieve compromise which paved way for the immediate desired amendments to the constitution,†Mr Mwila said.

He has too much wealth beating every Zambian politicians a match to the Tom Mtine, Sardanis and Sables of this country. He is in millions dollar value.He is expressing his mind rather than than blind solidarity time has proven. How can normal and worthwhile political leaders forfeit their right of decision and policy power to non mandated interest Groups? Its pathetic, no wonder some of these parties are truly buttocks never transforming to the front.
