The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) has described the on
going constitutional making process as a sham which may not produce a
people driven constitution in the stipulated time frame.
This follows revelations that the Technical committee has written to
the Ministry of Justice requesting more time and more allocation of
funds to complete its work.
YALI president Andrew Ntewewe noted that to this effect his
organization has joined hands with the Oasis Forum to ensure that a
Private Member’s Bill is passed in Parliament to ensure that the
constitutional making process and the contents of the new constitution are protected by a legal framework.
Mr. Ntewewe said that if the current constitutional making process
continues without a legal frame it will continue to gobble colossal sums
of public funds which can be used for other developmental projects.
Mr. Ntewewe further observed that without a new constitution the
country will continue having stunted national development due to
policies in the current constitution that do not effectively support
such progress.
The YALI president was speaking in an interview with Qfm.
