CDF Demands Bill Hearings Suspension

The Constitution Defenders Forum (CDF) condemned the government’s public consultations on the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3). The forum, linked to Tendai Biti, labeled the ongoing hearings a 'complete farce' and demanded their immediate suspension.Supporters of the bill argue that the hearings provide a platform for public input, regardless of perceived imperfections. Opponents, including the CDF, counter that the process is insufficient and lacks genuine engagement.This strong political challenge directly questions the legitimacy of the entire constitutional amendment process. It could potentially escalate political tensions surrounding the bill's passage. A critical demand.
