Section 130: Powers and functions of Senate and National Assembly
Constitution of Zimbabwe
(1) Except as provided in the Fifth Schedule, in the exercise of their legislative authority both the Senate and the National Assembly have power to initiate, prepare, consider or reject any legislation.
(2) In addition to their functions under this Constitution, the Senate and the National Assembly may exercise any further functions conferred or imposed on them under any law.
This section establishes the fundamental principle of bicameralism in Zimbabwe's legislative process. It ensures both houses have equal power to affect legislation, creating a system of checks and balances. The reference to "any further functions" allows Parliament's responsibilities to evolve through ordinary legislation without requiring constitutional amendments.
