Ndulo, ‘Bill 10 and Constitutional Dictatorship in Zambia’ Bill 10, if Enacted, Will Install a Constitutional Dictatorship and Undermine Democracy in Zambia Muna Ndulo (William Nelson Cromwell Professor of International and Comparative Law, Cornell Law School) Zambia has made several attempts to elaborate a democratic constitution that promotes good governance, inclusiveness, citizen participation, accountability, and the separation of powers between the three arms of government-parliament, the judiciary, and the executive. Success has been elusive largely because the processes used have been inappropriate for consensus building. The latest attempt, the Constitution Amendment Bill No. 10 of 2019, which came out of a ruling party dominated constitutional conference, is presently before parliament.
