No going back on the constitution: Youth will positively participate
at the 2nd All Stakeholders Conference
MDC
Youth Assembly
October
18, 2012
The Youth Assembly
is geared to participate at the second All Stakeholders conference
as the nation is set to witness a historic process where the sons
and daughters of Zimbabwe are going to be given feedback on what
has transpired thus far since the constitutional
outreach.
The historical
constitution making process has reached crucial stages with the
population set to stamp their signatures on the document through
the subsequent referendum, setting the ground hopefully for a peaceful,
free and fare plebiscite.
The Youth Assembly
would like to reiterate that there is no going back on this process
and has scaled up and spread its wings wider in the Vote YES campaign
dubbed "My Voice is In, My Vote is Yes." It is the Assembly's
great concern that the constitution making process, as dictated
by Article 6 has dragged for over two years while the sons and daughters
of Zimbabwe await.
It is however
commendable that against all odds, the process has managed to leap
from stage to stage and now the draft constitution is in the hands
of the people. The process which started over three years ago with
the setting up of the Select Committee (Copac), led to the convening
of the first All Stakeholders Conference-which Zanu PF frantically
tried to derail in vain, the public consultation process, the drafting,
and is now at the stage of tabling the draft to the second all stakeholders
conference set for the 21st to the 23rd of October.
The people's
process has reached a no-going-back stage and it is the demand of
the Youth Assembly that the people's will be respected, that
the remaining stages be expedited timeously as the nation moves
closer to the completion of the transition to a new democratic Zimbabwe.
The Assembly would like to warn any other parties and/or any terror
group that harbor any intentions of derailing the freedom train
to desist from that and honor the people's will.
