 Vice president in Nongiweina Friday morning lost her queen parliament while reacting to queries over the dead built-in wondering how those who never supported the bill treat their women in their homes. The UPNDMPs have done a disservice to the women of this country. The countries that have put women at the forefront such as Rwanda here in Africa and countries like Sweden have seen substantial development in running their countries. But here in Zambia, especially in the political party that wants to take over from PF, which they will not do, they seem to relish into suppressing women. I don't want to take it further to know how their women are treated in their homes. How are the vice presidents? They are sold. I do not think we should go there. The vice president of the UPND called cowards for not sitting in parliament to debate and vote for the bill which still maintains was progressive. We should have heard the reasons why some MPs were opposing the bill, not just to keep quiet and to be told don't participate. That is a democratic UPND that does not even talk about what they think is wrong in the building but only keeping away from the house. That is the cowardice of the highest order. But a leader of the opposition, Jack Mwimbo, consort of the vice president, saying her statements are a sign of mourning, but reminded her and the PF on the main times they have short done progressive motions in parliament, including a motion raised by Kapirin Pwenshi, a member of parliament, Stanley Kakubo, to reinstate new allowances. Your honor, the vice president, have noted that you have not stopped mourning over the demise of Bill 10. Your honor, the vice president, your party, your finger on the leader of opposition, your honor, the vice president, your party in 2011 defeated the motion that was moved by the MMD that included proportional representation by walking out of this house. Again, Mr. Speaker, in 2015 the PF on the floor of this house amended and removed the clothes that was proposing for proportional representation on the basis that all women should be free to contest. That is in the handset. Why are you summarizing now because of the obnoxious Bill 10 that contained so many bad clothes that led it to its defeat? And also, your honor, the vice president, we gave you members of the UPND to vote with you. We still failed. So you are the ones who failed the people of Zambia by not coming up with a constitution. The Bill 10 debate dominated the vice president's question time. The PF several claimed they had the numbers telling the nation once the bill was brought in the house it was going to go through without any difficulties. Others even vowed to move naked on the streets of Zambia if the bill failed to pass beyond second reading. That is in the past now, but the present is not. The same people are now accusing themselves of tempering with the system because those who were against the bill were absent from parliament. We had the numbers. We had the numbers and we still have the numbers. If we have to go back for Iran, Bill 10 will go through. If the system is not tempered with to show for example that the PF were 84, when we were not 84 we were 83. So that shows you, that shows you that somebody tempered with the system to make sure that Bill 10 does not go through. The speaker on the other hand maintains that there was no system failure as being claimed. Indeed, as the members say, uwa wa taburakawe pecho simply translated he who falls is never sure of excuses.
