Constitution Amendmend Bill No.3 Clause 8 Now Clause 9.The amendment proposes changing the life of Parliament from 5 years to 7 years.
Current rule, Parliament (the National Assembly and Senate) serves for 5 years before elections are held.
Proposed, Parliament would serve for 7 years instead of 5 years.
Even though another part of the Constitution normally limits how long elected officials stay in office, the Senate and National Assembly would continue serving under the new 7 year term if this amendment becomes law.
Constitution would be amended to extend the term of Parliament from 5 years to 7 years,and it adds a legal provision to ensure the Senate and National Assembly remain in office for that new term. #CA3 zvaendwaa!!

ZIMBABWE is edging closer to securing a landmark US$400 million investment for a 500MW floating solar power project on Lake Kariba, a development expected to boost electricity supplies, create thousands of jobs and accelerate the country’s transition to clean energy. #CA3.
#CA3 brings a triumph of parliamentary debate and public participation. These amendendments will improve governance and enhance accountability through technocrats reforms. #CA3BHOO
The constitution is clear on what constitutes a referendum a, CA3 did not activate the requirements for one, to ask is simply put a political gimmick by the opposition.
Ca3 refines governance by retaining the Gender Commission expanding acting judge eligibility and establishing a Supreme Court president. It extends census cycle to 14 years. Integrates technical experts into delimitation and grants ZEC oversight over parly presidential elections
The president exercised his power under Section 110(2)(c) of the Constitution. Demonstrating adherence to constitutional boundaries, transparency through public gazetting and respect for the separation of powers by leaving legislative decisions to Parliament. CA3
Th public consultations showed the unparalleled desire of a progressive bill in which everyone agreed bar a few critics who just oppose for the sake of it. CA3BHOO
CA3 strengthens national stability through these changes, by tasking ZEC with Parliamentary presidential elections. CA3 offers clear undisputed succession path. These pro government reforms eliminate legal ambiguities and ensure smooth power transitions.
One cannot demand a referendum because one feels entitled to it. The law doesn't work on entitlements, asking for a referendum is tantamount to constitutional vandalism. CA3 its a done deal.
