By Own Correspondent- Speaker of Parliament Advocate Jacob Mudenda has said that the government is committed to accelerating the law-making process.

The advocate was speaking after meeting with British Ambassador to Zimbabwe Ms. Melanie Robinson.

Speaking to the state media, Adv Mudenda said:

We had fruitful discussions. We explained the law-making process. We had to explain that because we got the impression from our exchange that the process was a bit slow.

We reassured the ambassador that we will accelerate the process, but without compromising the quality of our legislative process which must comply with Sections 149 and 141 of the Constitution. I am quite sure that the Bills that have come from the Executive are receiving the greatest attention from Parliament.

That is why we had to meet today (Friday), which is unusual, so that we expedite the law-making process. We believe that when it comes to the electoral reforms in refining our electoral law, we should be in a position in the next two or three months to refine that piece of legislation.

He said that despite the need to quicken the process, consultation of the citizenry is equally important.-StateMedia
