Alex Magaisa said
(
about Didymus Mutasa
)
:
“There is a procedure to be followed when amending the constitution. That procedure exists for a good reason. It is so that the constitution is not amended at the mere whim of individuals or a faction,” “In the case of Zanu PF it is plain that the procedure was not followed and that this is a contravention of Zanu PF’s own constitution. So Mutasa has a right to seek redress so that the constitution is adhered to,”

(
about Didymus Mutasa
)
:
“In this case, involving his own party and Mutasa, he has taken on the role of judge in regard to the merits of Mutasa’s arguments, presumably against expulsion from Parliament. Quite how he justifies this totally different attitude and approach in this case is not altogether clear at present,”

Obert Gutu said
(
about Didymus Mutasa
)
:
"We're calling on them to impartially uphold the provisions of the constitution. We're saying if the Speaker could promptly accede to the request to recall Mutasa and Mliswa then on what basis should he then refuse to accede to the MDC request to recall the 18 rebel members of Parliament. The Mliswa and Mutasa case is similar to that of the MDC-T rebel MPs,"
