Biti’s CDF slams ‘insufficient’ CAB3 meetings

The Constitution Defenders Forum (CDF) has condemned the government’s public consultations on the Constitutional Amendment No 3 Bill (CAB3), which began yesterday, describing the four-day timeline and limited number of meeting venues as grossly inadequate for a matter of national importance.

The public meetings, organised by the Parliament of Zimbabwe, are scheduled to run until April 2.

In a statement, CDF national spokesperson Jacob Rukweza said the time frame and number of venues would not allow millions of citizens, including over six million registered voters, to adequately express their views on the proposed constitutional changes.
