Zimbabwe’s Parliamentary Portfolio Committees (PPCs) are specialist oversight panels established under both the country’s national constitution and legislative guidelines to investigate specific issues on delegated authority from the lower and upper houses of parliament.
Where do they derive their powers?
The powers of parliamentary committees are derived from the Constitution and Standing Orders and Rules of Parliament to consider and deal with all bills and statutory instruments. They monitor, investigate, and make recommendations relating to any aspect of the legislative programme, budget, policy or any other matter relevant to their assigned department.
