MDC-T leader PM Morgan Tsvangirai says he plans to review the role of the National Security Council and draft a code of conduct for security sector more professional once his party takes full control of government business after the elections.
Addressing party members at the launch of the MDC-T election manifesto in Marondera on Sunday, Tsvangirai said they pledge in the first 100 days, to review the policy and operational role of the National Security Council, which is provided for in the new Constitution.
Since the formation of the inclusive government five years ago, Tsvangirai has been lobbying for security reform and accusing top army and police officials of being partisan, but President Robert Mugabe has resisted the move describing it as part of the regime change criteria.
