In an interview with VOA on Tuesday, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said Zimbabwe’s laws need no reform.
He said the laws were compliant with the guidelines of the African Union and the regional bloc Sadc and there is no need to change the legislation. Said Ziyambi:
Everything that they are complaining about is clearly covered within our constitution and our laws. Our constitution clearly stipulates that ZEC is an independent body not subject to the control of anyone. In so far as we are concerned, we believe that we should not just waste resources doing cosmetic changes to the legislation that are already materially covered by the existing legislation.
Regarding the prisoner and diaspora vote, Ziyambi said the government is awaiting a court decision that is expected later this month.
