Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa has been ordered by the Principals to sit down with Finance Minister Tendai Biti & MDC President Welshman Ncube to craft a 'document by consensus', which will reflect the position of the government in its inclusive nature.
This will then be filed before the Constitutional Court. The latest development comes a day after Chinamasa unilaterally filed a court application requesting an extension of the July 31st poll date, without consulting the MDC parties in the coalition government.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka told SW Radio Africa that President Robert Mugabe, Tsvangirai and Ncube agreed that the new "application will replace whatever paper was written purportedly on behalf of government, because this is an inclusive government."
