THE ruling Zanu PF and the MDC continue to butt heads over Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 2, with opposition legislators arguing that this will give a sitting president too much power if approved.
Speaking in the Senate on Tuesday during a heated debate over the Bill — which seeks to introduce at least 27 amendments to the Constitution, including dropping the presidential election running mate clause — Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, pictured, and Zanu PF senators argued that the country’s leader needed to be empowered to make key decisions.
