D-Day for Copac draft
Takunda Maodza Herald Reporter
ZANU-PF’S Politburo meets today to finalise its audit of the draft Constitution that will determine whether the party endorses or rejects the document.
At its last meeting, the Politburo raised questions on why people’s views were not properly captured in the draft.
It also noted that the document deviated from what was captured during the outreach programme.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Cde Rugare Gumbo yesterday said his party will come up with a final position at today’s meeting.
“We look forward to finalising on the document. There is no reason why we will not finalise it today,” he said.
Cde Gumbo said Zanu-PF members who were part of the Constitution-making process at Copac level had overlooked some of the critical issues, hence the need for the Politburo to digest these and see how they maybe incorporated in the final document.
“They overlooked some of the critical issues, which Politburo felt needed to be re-emphasised to reflect the views of the people,” he said.
Zanu-PF is revisiting the document chapter-by-chapter and sentence-by-sentence to ensure that what was captured during the outreach exercise is included in the final document.
The party has dismissed reports in some sections of the media that it is divided over the draft Constitution.
