We have elements that are used to abuse of office and fail to realize its no longer the 1st republic.

A letter purportedly authored by retired generals and senior civil servants has been circulating. For the purposes of this response, I will take it at face value.

The central irony is impossible to miss.

Those claiming to defend constitutionalism reportedly approached President Mnangagwa and urged him to use executive authority to halt a lawful parliamentary process. They did not seek relief from the courts. They did not persuade Parliament. Instead, they allegedly asked one man to override constitutional procedures on their behalf.

Their own petition is the strongest argument against their position.

What is equally instructive is the reported response. President Mnangagwa declined to interfere. That is constitutional discipline. A President who refuses to intrude into matters properly before Parliament demonstrates respect for the separation of powers and the rule of law.

CAB3 has followed the path prescribed by law. It was lawfully gazetted. It underwent a mandatory 90-day public consultation process. It has now entered Parliament through its First Reading by Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi. Parliament will debate it. Parliament will vote on it. The constitutional process will take its course.

That is how constitutional governance works.

Press statements are not court orders. Open letters are not legal instruments. Retired rank does not confer veto power over Parliament. Zimbabwe is governed by institutions, procedures and laws - not by political ultimatums.

Those opposed to CAB3 are fully entitled to challenge it through the courts or any other lawful democratic avenue. What they cannot do is demand that the President suspend constitutional procedures simply because they dislike, or fear, the likely outcome.

The irony remains striking: those presenting themselves as guardians of constitutionalism sought an outcome that could only have been achieved through constitutional impropriety.

The process is moving. Parliament is moving. The Constitution is taking its course.

You and I know it will not be stopped by a letter.

[Robert Shingi Bhamu @BhamuRobert]

These voices will be respected by our Members of Parliament, CAB3 is for the people.

The notion that term extension is designed to benefit one individual is misguided. In fact, future Presidents will enjoy the same 7-year terms, and citizens will reap the benefits of the amendment. This move will pave the way for the prosperity of generations to come.

[Robert Shingi Bhamu @BhamuRobert]

1. Extending the electoral cycle will not solely benefit the current office holders. In reality, the current leadership will only gain a 2-year advantage, while future leaders will accumulate 4 years over two terms. #CAB3 #Bill3Bho #Zimbabwe #zipigwa #seiuchiramba #vision2030

[Robert Shingi Bhamu @BhamuRobert]

The electoral process, known for fostering toxicity, should not dominate our agenda. A 7-year cycle between elections would grant us the much-needed time to tackle pressing development needs.I support Constitution Amendment Bill number 3.
