Addressing the media Wednesday, PRAZ acting chief executive officer, Clever Ruswa said a number of sections within the PPDPA which were inconsistent with the Constitution have been targeted for amendment.
“The PPDPA is one of the key deliverables of the Second Republic. It is therefore imperative to align the legislation to the requirements of the Constitution of Zimbabwe based on recommendations borne on gaps identified during the implementation,” he said.
