The House of Assembly and the Senate have already adopted the motion on the draft document.
Mr Mkhosi, who is also the MP for Mangwe constituency, said the sticking issues such as devolution of power, dual citizenship, homosexuality and executive powers had been ironed out.
He said Copac was wrapping up its mandate and that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) would soon take over the holding of the referendum after the Principals to the Global Political Agreement announce dates for the plebiscite.
The chairperson of the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (Nango) Mr Effie Ncube, said the draft document was acceptable to many although it had some limitations.
“We are not fully happy with the draft, but we think it is a document that we can work with. It captures the fundamental concerns of the people although there is too much compromise on critical issues.
“As civic society we want a democratic constitution that upholds protection of fundamental human rights instruments to which Zimbabwe is a signatory,” said Mr Ncube.
“What we want now is a free and peaceful environment in the run up to the referendum. As civic society we have no obligation to campaign for a yes or no vote, but our role is to take the draft to the people and to make sure they understand its contents.”
