Opposition accuses ZANU PF of fast-tracking Constitutional Amendment Bill as Mudenda rejects calls to delay debate

Zimbabwe's opposition parties are accusing the ruling ZANU PF party of rushing through the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, despite opposition objections. Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda has rejected calls to delay the debate on the contentious bill, allowing the motion by Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi to proceed. This move has intensified political tensions as critics argue that the fast-track process undermines proper scrutiny and public engagement, raising concerns about potential implications for democratic governance in Zimbabwe.
