Tinotumira kwamuri inosvika. WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- Here are some of the changes that the Constitution Amendment Bill No.2 will bring when passed into law: The President will be allowed to appoint about seven people to Cabinet who are not legislators. Under the current law, he is only allowed about five. The running mate clause will go, allowing the President to choose his Vice Presidents after elections. Proportional Representation legislators in the National Assembly will have their seats extended by another 10 years. Judges of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court will now retire at 75, instead of at 70. Judges of higher courts will also be appointed by the President in consultation with the judicial service commission, instead of being subjected to public interviews as is the case now. MDC Alliance legislators among them Edwin Mushoriwa, Jasmine Toffa, Innocent Gonese and Daniel Molokele attempted to block the amendments during the Committee stage but were unsuccessful. In rejecting the running mates clause, Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi had this to say: > I had already indicated that – the functions are so narrow, you are just there to assist the President. He enunciated his vision and you are just there to run with his vision. > Why should we have somebody elected and waste taxpayers money on somebody who is there to run with somebody’s vision? I submit that let us proceed with this amendment which is very progressive. *More: Open Parly* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
