Joanna Mamombe, a Harare West MP, strongly opposed the CAB3 Constitution Amendment Bill in Parliament, calling it a threat to democracy. She argued the bill weakens citizen rights and centralizes power in the Executive. Mamombe highlighted the opposition from Harare West residents, who gathered in March 2026 to express their concerns. She criticized specific clauses that shift voter registration control and allow Parliament to elect the President. Mamombe warned that these changes could lead to corruption and undermine public trust. She emphasized that the Constitution is a social contract and should not be altered without public approval.
