			<description><![CDATA[I completely agree with the person, group that wrote this constitution, because it has the elements that make a constitution, why wasting time on things that are straight forward. If i was given chance to elect someone to choose i would quickly pick on linyungandambo to form the government, because they are communicating sense to the general public. Where are other activists groups why don't they educate the people as well? Rt. Hon. Afumba please just go ahead to form the government. Some people now are thinking the Litunga has power, but power is in the people, so let the people form government and now the Litunga will have power, now after elections the Litunga will ask the majority in the house of commons to form government.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Bo Mutimbwa Luseso, Thank you for your kind compliments. We will do our best to cover all that make news about and around Barotseland. On the powers of the Litunga, please, refer to the Transitional Constitutional document which states: PART IV article 4.1 Head of State (i) The “Ngocana Molyetu” - King - shall forever be the Head of State. article 4.2 Powers reserved to the Ngocana and his heirs (i) The Ngocana is the repository of all land, and it is through him that one may or can indissolubly acquire land in Barotseland according to custom. (ii) The Ngocana and his Privy Council may be consulted from time to time in case there is something they consider important for the smooth running of the country.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This time we have to be very careful, i think bo Maurice and Naha ya luna are taking a different view, lets look at what is deficient at the document not just hate the author. I agree nibo Mashwelo. We are still under bondage and now we are looking for ways to free ourselves from this bondage. To me this thinking is very strategic it takes us to the right direction, cause we moving towards qualifying to be a state and this one of the requirements. Let us patch it up where it is deficient and adopt it. A comprehensive one will be written after elections. This is purely temporal. What is have miised out are the powers of the Litunga, Lord chancellor and his council. Most of the important things are there, lets be supportive to each other. I really thank ba Barotse Post for bringing up a paper that talks about issues surrounding Barotseland, atleast even us here in Caprivi we are being updated of what is happening that side. We have been receiving literature for Linyungandambo here, those people are speaking sense and its unfortunate to find that you don't see them to be assets, they have been fighting for a long time, and they informed people even in difficult times, but they didn't fear to educate the people, now when all seems achievable then you condemn them, lets be supportive to each other. Us Caprivians want you to be independent.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The constitution initially supposed to define three major things: 1. Define a territory, 2. Define a citizen, and 3. Define the national language. All these three main issues are covered in this transitional constitution and hence i completely have no problem to recommend it for approval. Then after elections the member of parliament and the general populous will improve this one to come up with a permanent one. At this stage it is practically impossible to involve everyone in making it, we are still at war, and time will come when everyone will make a party in it. Thanks to Linyungandambo for the wonderful job you have done, many people are still politicking but you busy doing the right thing, and if everyone thought like yourselves i think by now we would have already secured our nation.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with the views of the author above. If this "Barotseland transitional constitution" is a Linyungandambo product, then in noway can it be said to be Barotseland's transitional constitution. It is simply a suggestion from our activist group on how our constitution should look like, and it should be regarded as such - a suggestion. I'm aware that this document posted on this website as our country's transitional constitution existed as far back as february 2012 on Barotseland.inf o, long before BNC's declaration for self-determinat ion. This brings to the fore that there's no consensus in it. To me it appears to be a hurried imposition, which lacks authenticity, legitimacy and authority. At no time since the Martch 27 declaration did we hear that Linyungandambo have been designated the official voice for Barotseland, neither have we been told that it is Linyungandambo who are going to form Barotseland's interim government. But how come an Administrator General has been appointed? Who nominated Mr. Afumba Mombotwa (Linyungandambo National Chairman) to that portifolio? Was that decision made at the BNC? If not then, it is wrong even for the editors of this publication to make us believe that we have a transitional constitution in place when they know that it is only a suggestion from one of our activist movements. I stand to be corrected. But I think the Ngambela is the official voice for Barotseland. And if the Ngambela has not told us that an administrator general, who is to be the commander-in-ch ief of the armed forces in transition (at least according to Linyungandambo suggested constitution), then any communication that does not come through the office of the Ngambela, or that does not come in the name of BNC, is to be regarded as an opinion, to which every person is entitled to. All our activist movements: BFM, Linyungandambo, MOREBA, BNYL and all the citizens of Barotseland are free to make suggestions, submissions and proposals regarding the governance sytem of Barotseland, but no one person or grouping will assume the know-it-all role. In my first comment to the legal corner I urged all our activist organisations to speak one voice, to engage in consultation and work together for a common purpose. I said it and I will still say it again: No one orgganisation should think they are the trendsetters and others should just follow the agenda they have set. Halusebezeni hamoho. We only have one enemy - that should be all of us's preoccupation. Maurice Pelekelo]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[With due respect to linyungandambo and all barotse activists, this constitution is a hushed up thing and in its current form is a danger to barotseland, either in transition or permanent.there are many stakeholders in barotseland and only one group came up with this constitution and have already appointed an admnstrator general. That's wrong. The ngambela has already mentioned that preparations are underway for barotseland to prepare her own constitution. That constitution is not this one. Please this is a good try, but it is an insult to take the people of barotseland for granted by putting a constitution for them without out consulting them. The constitution of barotseland is coming, and it will take time for people to submit and finally make it into a law. By the way the admnstrator general can never be the commander in chief in barotseland. That is the role of a head of state. Both the prime minster and ministers, chief justice and constitutional officers shall be sworn in by the Litunga who is head of state. There is no way we can thrust power in an administrator general or prime minister without guidelines on how he,she will be watched.again, we say, barotseland has a governnance system, that we refuse to throw down the gutter. Those who would want to venture into barotseland politics must know that their role will be minimum and second to the that of the Litunga, chiefs and indunas, who are custodians of barotse culture and life. And lets not argue about it]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is always difficult to make changes to a constitution when already in power kono i agree that something must be put in place prior to a proper constitution. Like someone narrated on FB we need to visit our people in Lukona,Imusho,N angili etc to effectively participate in the process otherwise we risk collecting views only from those with Internet and other technological advantage.

			<description><![CDATA[I am sure this is a Temperal thing once we cross the Bridge, It shall be done in a proper way. On the other hand I want to agree with bo Makweti in that I would also support dual ctizenship. This is the only way Barotseland will move forward. Remember that we have to start everything from almost scruch and the most experienced of Barotseland citizens are actually in the diaspora, these will be a major source of funding for the new Barotseland if we disciminate against these then we are just repeating exactly what the lusaka government has been doing. No one is more Barotzish than the other whether you are in Mongu or UK lubana ba poho yensu kaufela. Lets keep debating thats what democracy is all about.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[#2 Bo Mubita you are correct. I can imagine how difficult to try to consult with everybody before our independence. Of course in a free independent Barotseland it will be possible to have a wider consultation and in put from every one to come up with a more comprehensive constitution. This should help us cross over into independence]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The part stating that no Dual citizenship whatsoever will be entertained in Barotseland is Myopic,Archaic and Selfish thinking. However,i take it that these are current dreams of the persons or people who have taken it upon themselves to garner a so-called constitution without approved channels. Whilst we fight for our land,be ready for a more ferocious fight from progressive people like me as we can not afford to lose the benefits of dual citizenship which is espoused by countries like Australia,Brita in,Canada,South Africa,Nigeria, Ghana to name but a few.]]></description>
