This section mandates the creation of specific legislation to enforce transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in Zimbabwe's public service. It essentially requires Parliament to establish a comprehensive legal framework that goes beyond mere constitutional principles, ensuring that public officials are held to clear standards through asset disclosures, ethical codes, governance requirements, and disciplinary measures. This creates a practical enforcement mechanism for the anti-corruption and good governance principles outlined in Chapter 9.
