Mavambo Kusile Dawn (MKD) leader Simba Makoni said what Zimbabwe needed was a leadership which could respect the constitution because a supreme law under the same leadership of Zanu-PF and President Robert Mugabe would yield the same results of "anarchy."
Makoni branded Copac a waste of time and national resources, saying the party believes Zimbabwe's woes cannot be solved by a new governance charter.
He was speaking at a meeting organised by Zimbabwe Youth In Politics in Kwekwe last Friday.
"We all know a constitution which is good for our nation, this Copac is an excuse for people to earn allowances and make money. . . What we want is a leadership which can respect that constitution and a people who will not allow that document to be abused by a few individuals," said Makoni.
The MKD leader said the current constitution did not allow for violence or political meddling by uniformed forces yet this has been the case, a trend that is likely to continue even when a new constitution is operational.
