OSF reiterates the need for President Sata not to ignore calls for new constitution

Open Society Foundation (OSF) has reiterated the need for President Michael Sata not to ignore calls for a new Constitution and reconciling with the Bemba Traditional Council.

Executive Director Sunday Chanda says the Patriotic Front (PF) Government must also not be perceived to be fighting the oneness and resolve of the Bemba-speaking people as they are like any other tribe in the Country.

Mr. Chanda has told Qfm news that the current attitude perceived on the PF government of burying their heads in the sand over such matters will come with a high price in 2016.

Mr. Chanda has urged the ruling PF to further accept that its political ground is not intact and that if attention is not paid to the cracks, the end result will be disastrous.
