Parliamentary Portfolio and Thematic Committee meetings resumed on Monday 23rd June after a three week break. The Senate and the National Assembly will resume sitting next week, on Tuesday 1st July.
The committee meetings listed below will be open to the public on Monday 30th June.
Open meetings on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday will be notified in a separate bulletin to be circulated as soon as possible.
Members of the public may attend these meetings, but as observers only, not as participants, i.e. they may listen but not speak. The meetings are at Parliament in Harare. If attending, please use the entrance on Kwame Nkrumah Ave between 2nd and 3rd Streets. Please note that IDs must be produced.
The above details are based on the latest information from Parliament. But, as there are sometimes last-minute changes to the meetings schedule, persons wishing to attend should avoid disappointment by checking with the relevant committee clerk [see names below] that the meeting is still on and open to the public.
