DICTATOR MUGABE EMBARRASSED BY TSVANGIRAI IN COURT PAPERS

MUGABE EMBARRASSED BY TSVANGIRAI IN COURT PAPERS AS DATE HE SET FOR NOMINATIONS DOESN'T EXIST ON THIS YEAR'S CALENDAR

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has found himself in an embarrassing gaffe as it emerged the date he set for the sitting of the electoral nomination court in Statutory Instrument 86 of 2013, does not exist on this year’s calendar.

The issue was yesterday raised by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in an application filed at the Constitutional Court (Concourt) seeking an extension of the July 31 election date.
Tsvangirai has accused Mugabe of not consulting him on matters concerning the Global Political Agreement (GPA) leading to the date boob.

“As stated earlier in this affidavit, the proclamation which followed the Presidential Regulations amending the Electoral Act also has serious legal challenges. Not only is the proclamation void or voidable because it was issued without consulting Cabinet and I as the Prime Minister in contravention of the Constitution, but also because even on the face of it, it is incurably defective,” Tsvangirai said.

“The proclamation is defective because it does not state the day or days on which the nomination court for President, the National Assembly and council will be held. Thursday the 28th of June is not a date which appears on any calendar.”

Tsvangirai further said the public and him included, as both a citizen and a Minister, had
a legitimate substantive and procedural expectation that Mugabe should have consulted Cabinet and otherwise acted fairly before he made the decision proclaiming a date for the elections and for the sitting of nomination courts. news-day
