Own Correspondent| MDC-T President Thokozani Khupe was selected POLAD’s chairperson for the international re-engagement committee, while NCA leader Professor Lovemore Madhuku chairman of constitutional matters and legislative committee.

POLAD will also appoint the national healing, communication and publicity and monitoring and evaluation committees’ chairpersons and would soon have a spokesperson.

One of the POLAD members and MDC-T Bulawayo proportional representation MP, Ms Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga, said the group was yet to come up with a position on the proposed constitutional amendments.

She said POLAD would take advantage of cordial relations with Zanu PF in coming up with a position.

“The committees are clear about the outputs; the critical ones are going to be on the amendment of the Constitution and coming up with a POLAD position and beginning to engage with Government. We haven’t come up with our position but we have a technical committee that is going to look at those positions and proceed to then engage,” said Misihairabwi-Mushonga.

She said POLAD was also working on a shadow Bill for electoral reforms.

Misihairabwi-Mushonga said POLAD was keen on ensuring that governance issues were addressed and would be advising Government on a course of action after wider consultation on various issues.
