Zambian civil society groups intend to start a nation-wide media campaign to discredit legislators from the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy who voted against a law to form a constituent assembly for adopting the country's fourth national constitution. “We are coming up with what we call a 'shame' list, which is basically a list of the 65 Members of Parliament who rejected the constituent assembly motion demanded by the people,” declared Oasis Forum chairman Reverend Japheth Ndhlovu. The Oasis Forum, an influential civil society group, also led the fight that defeated former president Frederick Chiluba's bid for a third term.
