Constitution bulletin day 84
Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights)
October 06, 2010

Outreach meetings will be temporarily stopped to allow the Members of Parliament to attend Parliament which opened today. The outreach exercise was scheduled to be finalised this weekend, but this disturbance may see the process overlapping into next week.

Meanwhile, the two MDC formations have called for negotiations to be made in the compilation of the new constitution, while Zanu PF insists on a people-driven constitution.

The MDC party's spokesperson, Mr Nelson Chamisa, is said to have defended his leader's position saying the outreach programme had failed to pass the legitimacy test. He added that COPAC outreach has failed to pass the credibility and legitimacy test, qualifying the process as people-driven.

However, Zanu PF negotiator to inter-party dialogue, Cde Patrick Chinamasa, yesterday dismissed the positions of the MDC formations saying his party was still committed to a people-driven constitution and would not comprimise.

To date 4,529 meetings have been conducted countrywide, with most provinces rounding up their meetings and Harare expected to finish the remaining meetings this weekend.
