MDC has no plans to write its own constitution
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
September
03 , 2012
Contrary to the statement attributed to the Deputy National Organising
Secretary, Hon Abednico Bhebhe, the MDC has no plans of writing
its own constitution draft.
The national
council of the MDC which is the highest decision making body in
between congresses, has resolved to endorse the current constitution
draft
produced by the Parliamentary select Committee.
In doing so,
the party was guided by two important considerations. The first
was its respect of the people's views as expressed
during the outreach process. The second one was the MDC's
respect of the negotiations it entered into in good faith. The draft
constitution has to be taken to the people of Zimbabwe for their
approval or disapproval.
The position
of the Party is that it is the people of Zimbabwe who should decide
from time to time what constitution they want. Should the people
demand changes to the current draft when the MDC is in power, the
MDC will obey the people. This is what Hon Bhebhe intended to communicate.
The MDC will
never draft its own draft constitution like what Zanu PF has done.
Any constitution or amendment to the constitution must come from
the people of Zimbabwe.
