(1) There is a commission to be known as the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission consisting of—
(a) a chairperson appointed by the President after consultation with the Committee on
Standing Rules and Orders; and
(b) eight other members appointed by the President from a list of not fewer than twelve
nominees submitted by the Committee on Standing Rules and Orders.
(2) Members of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission must be chosen for their integrity and their knowledge of and experience in administration or the prosecution or investigation of crime or for their general suitability for appointment, and—
(a) at least one must be qualified to practise as a legal practitioner in Zimbabwe, and have
been so qualified for at least seven years;
(b) at least one must be qualified to practise as a public accountant or public auditor in
Zimbabwe, and have been so qualified for at least seven years; and

This section establishes Zimbabwe's primary anti-corruption body with a structure designed to ensure both independence and expertise. The appointment process involves both presidential authority and parliamentary oversight through the Committee on Standing Rules and Orders. The qualification requirements for commissioners ensure the Commission has professional expertise in law, finance, and criminal investigation—key skills needed to effectively combat corruption.
