Justice Deputy Minister Keith Mukata has disclosed that the 50% plus one vote and the presidential running mate are some of the clauses government will take to parliament for amendment when the house resumes sitting next month.
Mr Mukata adds that government will also table the clause on having a fixed general election date among other clauses which do not need to be subjected to a referendum.

Mr. Mukata has to QFM News in an interview that government will be disclosing more clauses which will be taken to parliament for amendment as time goes by.
He has advised stakeholders to consult widely on other clauses they want government to take to Parliament for amendment.
Mr. Mukata says the amendment of the constitution is a continuous process which requires the inputs of relevant stakeholders.
He says his ministry is consulting widely with relevant stakeholders including the opposition political parties, adding that what government is doing is merely to provide leadership.
Mr. Mukata has however cautioned that taking the clauses to parliament does not mean they are guaranteed of being enacted, stating that parliament has the powers to reject or approve them.
