Committee through with draft constitution

Douglas Mwonzora said drafters were now consolidating the second draft.
“We finished our part yesterday (Wednesday) and the drafters are now drawing up what we can call the second draft. This is the draft which we will hand over to the management committee for presentation to the three principals to the Global Political Agreement. This is a process we expect to be done next week,” he said.
Copac, he said, was already planning processes, which will lead to the Second All Stakeholders Conference.
“The management committee has made progress in resolving the outstanding issues except on a few things but we are hopeful there will be consensus soon.
“This does not stop us from making plans as we move towards the referendum,” said Mr Mwonzora.
He said parties were still to reach consensus on the devolution of power, a provision that will see some key Government functions being transferred to regional and provincial structures.
Co-chairperson Mr Edward Mkhosi expressed hope the draft will reach the principals by Thursday next week.
