COPAC resumes constitution making process
Crisis
in Zimbabwe Coalition
May 05, 2011
The Constitutional
Parliamentary Committee (COPAC) this week resumes the constitution
making process after almost two months of dormancy with the holding
of a two day Thematic Committee Training Workshop from the 3rd to
the 4th of May 2011. The training, attended by close to 600 people
from political parties and civic society organizations, was meant
to equip identified participants with requisite skills to work in
the 17 thematic committees for the next 15 days.
According to
an attendee, participants discussed the best way of identifying
key issues that citizens raised during the COPAC Outreach meetings
which ended more than two months ago and putting them into a draft
constitution.
The Coalition
hopes that political parties will put their differences aside and
prioritize national interest since the process is important in shaping
the future of Zimbabwe. The constitution making process is part
and parcel of the roadmap towards the holding of free and fair elections
and hence must be given due respect.
Below are the
17 thematic committees:
- Founding
Principles of the Constitution
- Arms of the
State (Principle of the Separation of Powers)
- Systems of
Government
- Bill of
Rights and Citizenship
- Women and
Gender Issues
- Youth
- The Disabled
- Media
- War Veterans
- Land, Natural
Resources and Empowerment
- Labour
- Elections,
Transitional Mechanisms and Independent Commissions
- Executive
Organs of the State (Public Service, Police, Defence, Prisons)
- Public Finance
- Traditional
Institutions and Customs
- Religion
- Rights of
minorities and Languages
