CSOs call for referendum on Union before new law
2012
NOVEMBER
20th
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have said that avoiding referendum on the Union before gathering people’s views on the new Constitution would deny Tanzanians a mother law that they want.
The remarks were made recently in Dar es Salaam at the tenth conference that discusses the role of CSOs in the process of the new constitution making.
According to the CSOs, people should have been asked first whether they wanted the Union and if the answer is yes then what kind of format they will prefer. Speaking at the conference, retired Judge, Thomas Mihayo, said “A more than 50 percent consensus from Zanzibar representatives and 50 percent from the Union parliamentarians is required before the matter is forwarded for discussion in the Constitutional Assembly.
He added that in the new Constitution, the Union matter was a very important issue that needed wisdom to address, therefore, it would be better to deal with it first before embarking on other steps of the exercise, even before collection of views on the new mother law.
