Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Dar es Salaam.<\/b><\/p>\n

Key opposition parties have expressed their determination to push demanding the writing of a new constitution this year in the belief that the document was the only guarantee to a better future for Tanzanians.<\/p>\n

In his New Year message letter sent to the media yesterday, ACT-Wazalendo party leader Zitto Kabwe said 2021 was a year of great tests but they are thankful the nation sailed through safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that 2022 will be a year of national reconciliation that will achieve the success of finding an Independent Electoral Commission that will facilitate the achievement of a new Constitution acceptable to all,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He said, however, that as a party they will use 2022 to strengthen the party in villages, wards and regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will launch #ACTKiganjani: A digital system for registering members and enabling members to raise various issues in their areas for use by senior officials,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

For his part, Chadema vice-chairman Tundu Lissu said 2022 would be the start of a new movement to demand a new constitution whose process was stalled.<\/p>\n

He said via an online address that party\u2019s Central Committee met digitally on December 28, 2021 with the aim of deliberating various issues and setting the party\u2019s agenda one of which was continued demand for a people\u2019s new constitution.<\/p>\n

He said they evaluated the country\u2019s history since the return of the multi-party political system in 1992, especially 30 years after Judge Nyalali\u2019s commission proposed the drafting of a new constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current Katiba will not solve our problems with the administrative and political system,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Mr Lissu said that despite the decision of the Political Party Council to saying that only a few things would be worked out in the current constitution, \u201cwe Chadema will not betray Tanzanians by participating in such a process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call for the re-introduction of a people\u2019s constitutional process that will unite the forces of political parties, various social groups, religious institutions, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations that support the demands of the new constitution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Lissu said the party has also resolved that its key leaders currently on asylum overseas would return to the country to continue with party work and pushing for the writing of a new constitution.<\/p>\n

He noted that the Central Committee discussed in detail his state of affairs and that of former Arusha Urban lawmaker Godbless Lema and resolved that they return home between March and April 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe committee decided to make all the arrangements for our return and the exact date of our return will be announced after the preparations are completed,\u201d said Lissu.<\/p>\n
