On 31st January this year the then chairperson and all the eight members of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission resigned.
The Constitution gives Parliament’s Committee on Standing Rules and Orders [CSRO] the responsibility of advising the President on the appointment of the chairperson and other members of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission [ZACC] [Constitution, sections 254, and 237].
The new chairperson has already been appointed by the President after consultation with CSRO, as required by section 254 of the Constitution. She is Mrs Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo.
The procedure for the appointment of the eight Commission members is different. They must be appointed from a list of at least twelve nominees submitted to the President by the CSRO. The nomination procedure is the same as that laid down by section 237 of the Constitution for the CSRO’s nomination of persons for appointment to the five Chapter 12 Independent Commissions.
The CSRO has already completed the early steps in that process by publishing a public notice advertising the eight positions needing to be filled and inviting the President and members of the public to make nominations of qualified individuals [see Commissions Watch of 15th February]. Nomination documents were received for 133 candidates and the CSRO then published their names and invited the public not only to submit objections to the appointment of any of the candidates, but also to submit suggestions for questions to be put to candidates when they were interviewed [see Commissions Watch of 21st March].
Now the CSRO has published notices announcing that the next step in the process will take place on Friday 21st June at Parliament, when two interviewing teams will conduct public interviews of prospective candidates as required by section 237(1)(c) of the Constitution. The interviews will be conducted in the National Assembly chamber and the Senate chamber and will start at 9 am.
The short list of 38 candidates who will be interviewed has been compiled after what the notices describe as an “exhaustive analysis of the nominated candidates to decipher their suitability for consideration to serve on this Commission”. Their names and the times and venues of their interviews are set out in the following from the CSRO notice:
