Former Higher Education deputy minister and ex-Magunje legislator Godfrey Gandawa strongly criticizes the Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill, claiming it is designed to strengthen state control. According to allafrica.com, Gandawa said the bill lacked legitimacy because Parliament bypassed genuine public consultation in favour of a predetermined outcome. He also rejected the reported claim that more than 500,000 submissions supported the bill while just over 2,000 opposed it, asserting that the numbers are false. These claims are based solely on reporting by allafrica.com. Other details about the bill and its parliamentary process are not included in the provided facts.
