WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH CAB3 AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS
A thread addressing 4 key questions 🧵🔥
1. At what stage is #CAB3 in the law-making process and what are the next steps in the legal process before it can become law?
No person forfeits their right to life, dignity or their status as a human being because they are alleged to have violated a law. This is a defining feature of our Constitution that sets us apart as a nation of due process and the rule of law.
We will not tolerate anyone using allegations related to any person’s nationality or immigration status to violate their inherent human dignity and our Constitution, or to inflict damage on our society. It simply cannot and will not stand.
"We want an electoral system the citizens can trust" – Hon. Chikombo
Hon. Chikombo delivered a passionate rejection of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (#CAB3) in Parliament, arguing that the proposed changes fail to address the real issues facing Zimbabwe's democracy.
According to Chikombo, the Bill does not eliminate electoral toxicity, heal national divisions, or strengthen reconciliation. Instead, he warned that it centralises power and takes decision-making further away from ordinary citizens.
"Election toxicity is not removed by extending terms, but by reforming power," he said.
He argued that Zimbabwe does not need fewer elections, it needs better elections that are free, credible, and trusted by the people.
In one of the most striking moments of his presentation, Chikombo said the Bill "transfers power from the citizens" and sends the message that "their vote is dangerous."

I am fully behind Julius shame. People make false accusations and expect to not be held accountable. You can differ with anyone without lying about them.
