meeting resolutions
National Constitutional Assembly (NCA)
October
12, 2010
The National
Constitutional Assembly National Taskforce having met in Harare
on the 10th of October 2010 and deliberated on a wide range of issues
resolved;
1. That COPAC
be disbanded with immediate effect and pave way for an Independent
commission to start a fresh process that allows the participation
of all Zimbabweans.
2. That the
present government is only transitional and hence any elections
to be held should be conducted under a new people driven constitution
to ensure a free and fair poll
3. The NCA shall
continue to emphasize that constitutional reform is about the prosperity
of the people. Constitutional reform is not confined to political
issues. Accordingly, in order to raise awareness on this principle,
the NCA shall henceforth speak on social and economic issues, particularly
social and economic rights which a new constitution must address.
4. The national
leadership will embark on a nationwide tour revamping all structures
of the NCA to ensure that the structures actively pursue the NCA
programmes of rejecting COPAC and mobilizing the public for a massive
NO vote at the referendum.
5. The NCA
reiterates its rejection of the Kariba
Draft or any other negotiated constitutional document. Political
parties have no basis whatsoever to impose a constitution on the
people of Zimbabwe. It was noted that the Kariba Draft is an illegitimate
document crafted by a handful of political elites.
The NCA insist
that Zimbabweans must be given the right to determine the rules
to be put in the national constitution and it is not acceptable
for politicians to negotiate on their behalf.
