ZLHR’s Preliminary Appraisal of The Judicial Service Act Chapter 7:18

On 18 June 2010, Statutory Instrument 114 of 2010, operationalised the Judicial Service Act Chapter 7:18. ZLHR welcomes this development given the fact that this law has come into force after 4 years from the date it was finalised by parliament. ZLHR however contends that any law regulating the affairs of the judiciary must reinforce the notion of independence, impartiality, accountability and transparency of this critical third facet of government.
