Government ministries are delaying the re-alignment of laws with provisions of the new Constitution by failing to submit drafts to the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs to work on them for onward submission to Cabinet.This was said by Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs permanent secretary Mrs Virginia Mabhiza when she appeared before the Portfolio Committee on Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs yesterday.
"When the new Constitution was signed into law, it was envisaged all ministries would naturally and quickly identify all laws in their respective portfolios for review and also to formulate new policies, which will lead to enactment of new laws," she said.
