CCZ petitions Parliament

 

Consumer protection laws were designed under United Nations guidelines to shield consumers against injustice and abuse. Handing over the petition to Parliament, CCZ executive director, Rosemary Siyachitema said existing consumer laws were weak and                      unclear.

“We are demanding that the Government approves the Consumer Protection Law into a Parliamentary Act because consumers are suffering under the weak consumer laws such as Small Claims Act and Consumer Contract Act, she said.
Ms Siyachitema said there was no reason for Government to continue delaying enactment of the law. — New Ziana.
