Section 323: Commissions to report annually to Parliament
Constitution of Zimbabwe
(1) Every Commission must submit to Parliament, through the responsible Minister, an annual report describing fully its operations and activities, the report being submitted not later than the end of March in the year following the year to which the report relates.
(2) An Act of Parliament may require a Commission to submit further reports in addition to the annual report specified in subsection (1), and may prescribe the way in which such reports are to be submitted.
PART 2
G ENERAL
This section establishes accountability mechanisms between Commissions and Parliament in Zimbabwe. The key insight is that these annual reporting requirements create a formal oversight system, ensuring transparency in how Commissions function. The March deadline creates a regular cycle of accountability, while subsection (2) provides flexibility for Parliament to request additional information when necessary, enhancing democratic oversight of these constitutional bodies.
