I am going to post this one on a large forum for I
need some inside story from as many scholars out there as possible.
During my observation of the politics as it goes on
in Africa we have got some very new political menus that some of us the old
folks need a push up to understand what they mean. And my question is regarding
the menu which has just taken place in Rwanda. Rwanda as a state has gone
through a very expensive exercise to do some thing called " A Constitutional
Referendum" And my questions are actually very few:-
1) What is a Constitutional
referendum?
2) Who has a right to call for a Constitutional
Referendum?
3) How often is a Constitutional referendum called
in a Democratic/non-Democratic country?
4) How binding are the results of a Constitutional
referendum, for example Although the Government of Rwanda has done this
exercise, it is still very soon going to call for an election, so if this
election is called and the citizenry elects another government, are the
results of this referendum still binding or not?
I am going to leave it at that for now, I hope to
learn very extensively from all your input.
