Copac gets $1 million for thematic committee stage

Copac has received $1 million from Treasury towards completion of the thematic committee stage of the constitution-making process, which stalled early this month due to financial constraints.

Co-chairperson Edward Mkhosi (MDC-N) yesterday confirmed the Parliamentary constitution-making body was in dire need of extra funding to complete the thematic committee stage.

“The thematic committee stage has stalled due to lack of funding and we are in the process of holding meetings to discuss the supplementary budget that we need to complete the process,” said Mkhosi.
