Why we Reject Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3
We reject Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 because it does not strengthen our democracy, it weakens it!
We have grown up believing that every citizen must have an equal voice and that leadership must come from the will of the people. This Bill takes us in the opposite direction. It seeks to remove our right to directly elect the President and instead allows Parliament to choose on our behalf. It replaces one person, one vote with decisions made by a few.
We reject this Bill because it extends presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years, keeping leaders in power longer without returning to the people for a fresh mandate. No leader should benefit from changing the rules while already in office.
We reject this Bill because it avoids the referendum required by Section 328 of the Constitution. If these changes are truly in the national interest, then citizens themselves must be allowed to decide.
We reject this Bill because it concentrates more power in the hands of the President: more unelected Senators, more control over Parliament, more influence over the courts, and more control over elections. A democracy is strongest when power is shared and institutions remain independent.
We reject this Bill because it weakens the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, undermines the independence of the judiciary, and abolishes institutions that protect peace, accountability and gender equality. These institutions exist to serve the people, not those in power.
As a generation, as ordinary people, we cannot remain silent when our Constitution is being changed in ways that reduce our voice and our rights.
We, the citizens, reject this Bill in its entirety!
We demand two referendums on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3.
Nothing for the citizens without the citizens!
