Bill Watch 65/2019 Progress on Bills, but Not on Budget 1 December 2019 on the constitutionality of the amendments. A noteworthy change is that the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission [ZACC] and the National Prosecuting Authority will no longer be able to apply to the High Court for Unexplained Wealth Orders [UWOs]. This leaves the Commissioner of Police and the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority [ZIMRA] as the only authorities with power to apply for UWOs. When the PLC report – expected to be non-adverse – is received next week, the House will be able to approve it and transmit it to the Senate. Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Bill This Bill was also tabled on the 28th November, given its First Reading and referred to the PLC for its report on the Bill’s constitutionality. Ministerial Statement on the Status of the Health Care System in Zimbabwe Question Time on Wednesday 27th November was followed by a Ministerial Statement [link] by the Minister of Minister of Health and Child Care, which MPs have been expecting for some time. MPs sought clarification on a number of points, to which the Minister responded. He then left the Chamber – before a second group of MPs waiting to put more requests for clarification could do so. This caused Opposition MPs to rise to their feet in protest, causing the disorder that led to an early adjournment.
