Movement for Democratic Change leader Welshman Ncube has attacked Tsholotsho North MP Jonathan Moyo for opposing devolution of power in the new constitution, saying he is going against popular sentiments in Matabeleland.
Moyo has been in the forefront of criticising the draft constitution produced by Parliament's Constitution Select Committee (Copac) claiming ordinary people's views were ignored.
Ncube, whose party has already endorsed the draft, told a weekend rally at St Joseph's in Matobo that Moyo was fighting hard for President Robert Mugabe to retain his excessive powers in the new constitution.
"We agreed to have devolution that would restore power back to Parliament, but Zanu-PF, through Mugabe, says that would divide the country," he said.
"They are the ones on the forefront, people like Jonathan Moyo. Why do you want to have one person retaining so much power?."
