This is despite Chinamasa last week saying elections would be held by June 29, a point that was buttressed by President Robert Mugabe's Spokesperson George Charamba on Saturday.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka said the date for the next elections would not be decided by one party in the inclusive government.
Tamborinyoka told The Zimbabwean after their usual Monday meetings of GPA principals that his boss told Mugabe elections by June 29 would not be possible considering reforms to be made before the polls.
"Minister Chinamasa should work with Minister Matinenga to draw an election roadmap.
"The ministers will prepare timelines taking into account the legal requirements and the political reforms that need to be implemented before the principals come up with the date for elections," Tamborinyoka said.
After voting in a referendum to decide on a new constitution, Zimbabwe is now focusing on elections to end the four a coalition government between Zanu (PF) and the MDCs.
Tamborinyoka said Tsvangirai raised concern over the conduct of the police which he said had the potential to dent the image of the country and discredit the forthcoming polls.
"Mugabe agreed to meet police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri to look in to the conduct of the police ahead of elections," he said.
Tsvangirai's party has repeatedly accused the police of siding with Mugabe during past elections. Last week, three staffers in Tsvangirai's office were arrested for allegedly impersonating police while human rights lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa was arrested for reportedly obstructing the course of justice.
"The conduct of the police dents the image of the country and affects the credibility of the next elections. The behaviour of the police is not inspiring any confidence at all," Tamborinyoka said.
"It does not give the right impression when one the principals is being attacked and the State agents seem to have an agenda ahead of elections."
Tamborinyoka said the meeting also agreed that the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee must be allowed to fulfill its mandate and ensure that all agreed GPA issues are implemented.
It was also agreed that the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission be allowed to do its work without interference.
Last week, police and the High Court blocked a probe on Indigenisation minister Saviour Kasukuwere, Mines minister Obert Mpofu and Nicholas Goche, Transport and Infrastructure Development minister.
