I agree that a document like a national constitution should not have been led by politicians more-so political parties in government, it's like asking me to write my own employment contract, how can I be sincere more-so when I already have a bad track record of leadership be it within the political party or government.<br /><br />We live in a very technologically advance era, public consultations could have been recorded, broadcast and even simultaneously shared on internet web pages as the consultation process took place.<br /><br />How much of the constitution jargon does the average member of public understand? Was there sufficient information campaigns to educate the public about the various clauses within the constitutional frame work? What guarantee do we have that most of the public sentiments from consultation will be contained in the draft? Why do the political leaders in government have to approve the draft first? What process do they follow in order to approve such a draft, do they consult their party structures? How about all the other unrepresented parties and public groups, do they not have a right to also have a say on the draft before a referendum?<br /><br />I guess the real question is do we have a document that we can safely say has met most of the demands of our society and can be a guide to developing a new democratic dispensation?<br /><br />Takura please read the draft even if you think the whole process was flawed, amendments can always be made through parliament in any case should a Yes Vote be the outcome.Bantu Power aka "Voice of Freedom"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05559670062534683939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223755292927731712.post-7754369936183680022012-07-25T22:33:50.691-07:002012-07-25T22:33:50.691-07:00When a party like zpf have a "bargaining tool...When a party like zpf have a "bargaining tool" in the shape and form of the "security forces" and sadc and AU's tacit approval, what does one expect the two or three mdc's to do?Jongwe Rachemberahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007364696226383179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223755292927731712.post-6233667381200104142012-07-25T09:46:43.001-07:002012-07-25T09:46:43.001-07:00This is tragic.
