Said Ziyambi: > If these laws are left unattended, not only does it open a flood-gate of constitutional cases, but it also adversely affects the operations of Government and the State, to the detriment of the people. More so, it will tarnish the international image of the country. > The effort to give effect to the constitutional provisions must be welcomed. Section 61 of the Constitution provides for freedom of expression and freedom of the media, which was not guaranteed in the previous Constitution. The Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) has been the bone of contention between the government and independent media. Ziyambi revealed that AIPPA was repealed and replaced by the Freedom of Information Bill, the Zimbabwe Media Commission Bill and the Protection of Personal Information/Data Protection Bill. *Related:* *Magistrates Set To Take Oath Of Office* *ZANU PF Mulls Scraping ‘Running Mate’ Clause Ahead Of 2023 Elections* *Govt Pushing For Law To Keep Military Out Of Politics* More: The Herald itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
