Speaking during a press
briefing, Mr. Mundubile said the PF fully supports the Oasis Forum’s position,
arguing that Bill 7 does not reflect the will or interests of the Zambian
people.
He warned that PF Members of
Parliament who choose to back the bill will face political consequences.
“PF MPs who support this
bill will be actively decampaigned,” he said, urging lawmakers to “search their
souls” before endorsing what he described as a measure that could undermine
Zambia’s democratic systems.
Mr. Mundubile also alleged
that some MPs may have received money in exchange for supporting Bill 7, and he
challenged them to return any such funds to the UPND government.
Meanwhile, a Consortium of
Eight Civil Society Organisations has announced plans to apply for a police
permit to hold a solidarity march to State House in support of the
constitutional amendment process.
Acting Consortium
Chairperson Solomon Ngoma said it was concerning that “the few who stayed away
from the submission process” are the ones now opposing the proposed amendments.
The contrasting positions
set the stage for heightened public debate and parallel demonstrations as
stakeholders continue to express sharply divided views on Bill 7 and the
broader constitutional reform efforts.
