Abstract

The views of the electorate are sought in a nationwide exercise. The government‐owned paper, The Herald , Harare (21/6) reported that the constitution‐making process had started countrywide with teams being deployed to various centres in the country’s 10 provinces to gather views to be put into the new constitution. On June 16th, the three principals in the inclusive government called for peace, tolerance and unity of purpose during the constitution‐making process. President Robert Mugabe , Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara had officially launched the outreach in Harare on that day. They urged the police to oversee the safety and security of those involved in the process. The outreach programme had been delayed by lack of financial resources. PANA reported that donors funding the exercise had said they would not try to influence the outcome, but they insisted that it was done transparently and without cheating. Several donor organisations and countries, including the United Nations Development Programme ( UNDP ), Swedish Development Programme, Britain, France and the US , have poured in over US$7m to fund the making of Zimbabwe’s new supreme law.
