Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Owen Ncube says the ZANU-PF Midlands provincial leadership has thrown its weight behind Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which proposes extending the presidential term from five to seven years among other reforms.
Speaking during the handover of smartphones to Kwekwe district headmen, 41 Starlink kits to junior parliamentarian schools and bicycles together with non-communicable disease equipment to HIV support groups at Amaveni Hall, Ncube said the proposed legislation is central to advancing the country’s Vision 2030 agenda.
“The Midlands Province fully supports Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3 as part of broader reforms designed to strengthen governance and accelerate the attainment of Vision 2030,” Ncube said.
He said the amendment seeks to align the country’s governance framework with long-term development priorities under President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Ncube added that public participation would be crucial, urging communities to take part in upcoming consultations.
“I urge residents and stakeholders to participate in the consultations so that the reform process reflects the views of the people,” he said.
