Send-off advice to Katiba Assembly

>It is now clear that the Constituent Assembly (CA) has decided to disrespect an advice from the Constitution review Commission (CRC) and opinion by large part of the public that it is better to spend time to argue and reach a consensus on various provisions of the draft constitution rather that deciding by voting.

The new constitution writing process records another milestone today with the onset of the Constituent Assembly.

There are simply too many lobby groups working against each other to further their own political and ideological ends.

>A fortnight ago, this writer highlighted that abiding by democratic tenets, including citizens’ participation is an important procedural limitation that inherently accompanies and binds the constituent power in a situation of a state with politically organised people.

Action should be taken to curb the monetary cost which the government incurs in running the CA, says Bomani.

The Tanzania Centre for Democracy (TCD) is keen on negotiating a deal that will see opposition parties return to the Constituent Assembly. The umbrella organisation brings together all 22 registered political parties.

As August nears, so is the resumption of the meeting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) in Tanzania’s fictitious capital, Dodoma.
