Punguza Mizigo has already won referendum race

The Building Bridges Initiative can now pack their bags and go home. The ‘Punguza Mizigo’ people have already won the race to the referendum. They are the champions of this political long distance race, and they will receive their gold medal by July next year. I say this for many reasons.

First and most importantly, Punguza Mizigo did intensive training and preparation. They did their homework. Their Constitutional Amendment Bill was carefully crafted not to fail. Each hurdle presented by Article 251 of the Constitution is met with an irresistible proposal in the Punguza Mizigo Bill.
