BILL WATCH
PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES SERIES 13/2014
[14th March 2014]
Committee Meetings Open to the Public 17th to 20th March
Only one Parliamentary committee meeting will be open to the public during
the week commencing Monday 17th March:- 
Monday 17th March at 2 pm
Portfolio Committee: Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare
Oral evidence from Zimbabwe Urban Workers Council on challenges being faced
by its members and possible solutions.
Committee Room No 1
Chairperson: Hon Chikwama                    Clerk: Ms Masara
Members of the public may attend the meeting, but as observers only, not as
participants, i.e. they may listen but not speak.  The meeting is at
Parliament in Harare.  If attending, please use the entrance on Kwame
Nkrumah Ave between 2nd and 3rd Streets and note that IDs must be produced.
The above details are based on the latest information from Parliament.  But,
as there are sometimes last-minute changes to the meetings schedule, persons
wishing to attend should avoid disappointment by checking with the committee
clerk [Ms Masara] that the meeting is still on and open to the public.
Parliament's telephone numbers are Harare 700181 and 252940/1.
Reminder
Members of the public, including Zimbabweans in the Diaspora, can at any
time send written submissions to Parliamentary committees by email addressed
to  <mailto:clerk at parlzim.gov.zw> clerk at parlzim.gov.zw
What Other Committees Will be Doing 
All the other thematic and portfolio committees are also scheduled to meet
during the week, but for fact-finding visits or for closed meetings to which
the public will not be admitted.  For example: 
.        the Electoral Amendment Bill and the National Prosecuting Authority
Bill will be considered by the Portfolio Committee on Justice, Legal and
Parliamentary Affairs [soft copies of both Bills are available from the
addresses at the end of this bulletin].  The Electoral Amendment Bill has
had its First Reading in the Senate and received a non-adverse report from
the Parliamentary Legal Committee.  The Second Reading speech by the
Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs is listed for Tuesday
25th March.  [Bill Watches 11 and 12/2014 of 4th March summarised the
Electoral Amendment Bill, commented critically on its constitutionality and
noted omissions and areas needing further attention.]  
.        the Thematic Committee on HIV/AIDS will be considering its
itinerary for visits to ART Roll Out Centres and a brief from Zimbabwe
Lawyers for Human Rights on their intervention on HIV. 
.        the Portfolio Committee on Health and Child Care will be paying a
fact-finding visit to the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.
