\u201cNo Freedom, No Constitution\u201d: Chamisa Slams Constitutional Amendment Bill<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Tinashe Sambiri\u2013 Citizens leader Nelson Chamisa has raised alarm over the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill, warning that it threatens fundamental freedoms and undermines the country\u2019s democratic framework.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Chamisa stressed the centrality of civil liberties in any constitutional process, declaring, \u201cWithout freedom of speech, there is no constitution to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n
His remarks come amid growing debate over the Constitutional Amendment Bill, which seeks to extend the term of office of President Emmerson Mnangagwa beyond 2028. Critics argue that the move could erode democratic principles, while supporters maintain it is a lawful legislative process.<\/p>\n
Chamisa warned that restricting citizens\u2019 voices would render the constitution meaningless, emphasizing that public participation and open dialogue are essential in shaping the nation\u2019s future. <\/p>\n
\u201cA constitution must reflect the will of the people, expressed freely and without fear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The proposed amendments have sparked widespread discussion across the political divide, with observers closely monitoring developments as the debate over governance and constitutionalism intensifies.<\/p>\n
