The committee will hold meetings on Monday in Harare and at Gweru Civic Centre, while the following day, they will have meetings at Holiday Inn in Bulawayo and Queens Hall in Mutare.
“The Portfolio Committee on Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs will hold public consultations on the Attorney General’s Office Amendment Bill and the National Prosecuting Authority Amendment Bill from the 13th to the 14th of July 2020,” reads a notice published by Clerk of Parliament, Mr Kennedy Chokuda.
“The committee will be divided into two teams and will cover various places.”
