Following the issue of a revised schedule of committee meetings by Parliament, there are now two more meetings open to members of the public tomorrow, Thursday 3rd June. The full list of open meetings for Thursday appears below.
Members of the public may attend these meetings as observers only, not as participants. [See note at the end of this bulletin on public attendance and participation at different types of committee meetings.]
Note: This bulletin is based on the information provided by Parliament late on 31st May. Last-minute changes are, however, possible. So, if you wish to attend any of these meetings, Veritas recommends that you avoid possible disappointment by first checking with the relevant committee clerk that the meeting is still on and open to the public. Parliaments telephone numbers are Harare 700181 or 252936-55.

Not open to the public: Portfolio and thematic committee meetings in which the committees are doing private business e.g. setting workplans, deliberating on reports and findings, or drafting reports for Parliament, or when the committees make field visits. [Veritas does not list these in these bulletins.]
Open to the public to attend as observers only: Portfolio and thematic committee meetings where oral evidence is being heard. [As listed above.] If attending, please use the Kwame Nkrumah Ave entrance to Parliament. IDs must be produced.
Stakeholders by invitation: At some committee meetings stakeholders [and those who notify Parliament that they consider themselves stakeholders and are accepted as such] are invited to make oral or written representations and ask questions. [These meetings will be highlighted in these bulletins.]
Public Hearings: When committees call for public hearings, members of the public are free to submit oral or written representations, ask questions and generally participate. [Veritas sends out separate notices of these public hearings.]
Note: Zimbabweans in the Diaspora can send in written submissions to stakeholders meetings if they consider themselves stakeholders, and to public hearings, by emailing their submissions to clerk@parlzim.gov.zw
