In respect of the foregoing, the Applicants will move for a
declaratory order that in terms of section 3 (2) (g), section 156 (a)
section 233 (d) and section 239 (a) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe
and section 3 of the Electoral Act, the First Respondent has a duty
to publish the criteria for screening and selecting persons seconded
to the First Respondent during an election, and for other electoral
processes such as registration of voters, and to publish the names
of such persons once they have been selected as well as the
government department from which they were seconded and their
role in the electoral process.
30.
I further contend that the reference to the Public Service
Commission in section 10 of the Electoral Act must be construed as
a reference the Civil Service Commission in terms of section 202 of
the Constitution of Zimbabwe read together with paragraph 11(1)(e)
of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of Zimbabwe. Therefore,
section 10 of the Electoral Act does not provide for the secondment
of members of the Security Services, which fall under their own
separate commissions.
31.
Therefore, the Applicants will move for a declaratory order that
members of the Security Services may not be seconded to the First
Respondent in terms of section 10 of the Electoral Act or any other
provision.
