The PAD’s petition contends that the charter amendment bill is unconstitutional since it seeks to repeal the Constitution.
It further charges that the 36-member Cabinet, 305 MPs and 76 senators have wrongfully endorsed the bill because they only have the mandate to amend the charter.
Under the Constitution, should there be cause to suspect any attempts to tear up the charter, the attorney general is obliged to seek the Constitution Court injunction to suspend the unconstitutional legislative process.
Those involved in the charter repeal will subsequently face the legal proceedings which can lead to impeachement, ban from holding office and party dissolution.
