GOVERNMENT has dismissed preliminary reports by some observer missions alleging that Zimbabwe’s elections this week were compromised.
This comes after the SADC and European Union (EU) observer missions yesterday released preliminary reports that were strikingly similar, prompting the Government to believe they were sentiments of some of the candidates in the poll.
Addressing a Press briefing yesterday, Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said observer missions should stick to their mandate and not seek to tarnish the country’s image.
“When observers come to our country to observe elections, they have not come here to rewrite our laws,” he said.
“We have a Constitution that dictates what we are supposed to do, observers are there to follow whether our processes are within the confines of our laws.
