Unpacking the Zimbabwe Independent Complaints Commission Bill
“An Act of Parliament must provide an
effective and
misconduct on the part of
members of the security services, and for
remedying any harm caused by such misconduct.”
The government was very reluctant to give life to this Constitutional provision. As a result, Veritas in 2015 took the government to the Constitutional Court for an order calling on the Government to enact legislation implementing section 210. On the 23rd September 2020 the Constitutional Court finally gave judgment in the case, giving the Government 45 days in which to gazette the requisite Bill. The Government did not meet that deadline, but on 27 November 2020 Bill H.B.5, 2020 titled Zimbabwe Independent Complaints Commission Bill was gazetted.
