National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) presidential candidate Lovemore Madhuku told The Herald, his party will write a “genuinely new, democratic and people-driven Constitution” if it gets into power.
He also said his party will focus on four areas namely; a clean government, quality education, a growing economy and a health framework. Madhuku said the 2013 Constitution making process was a Zanu-PF and MDC event. Said Madhuku:
If we succeed in our endeavours, this country will get a genuinely new, democratic and people-driven Constitution. The (2013 (Constitution-making) process was a defective process; the process was actually a Zanu-PF and MDC process which was then sold under the misleading notion that it was the people but we all know that the Constitution did not come from the people — it came from those two political parties and we can never be cheated. That is why we are standing alone as a party and the future will know that the generations of 2013 were cheated by the two political parties and the NCA is going on to the political stage to demolish that. So, we will certainly urge a new process that will repeal the current constitution. The current constitution cannot be a constitution: it is so much centred on one person — the President — and that cannot be a Constitution.
