The bill seeks to establish a regulatory authority, to be named the Postal and Telecommunications Authority Board, which will regulate and licence postal and telecommunications service providers. The board will be composed of five to seven members appointed by the president after consultation with the minister of information. The bill grants the president authority to order any telecommunications service provider to act as he directs, and stipulates that the provider is not allowed to reveal that it is in receipt of such an order or is carrying out the actions specified in the order. The bill holds no requirement for any such order to be determined by a court of law. The penalty for any breach of the Act is Z$200,000 (approx. US$5,260) or two years' imprisonment, or both. The bill reads: "If, in the opinion of the president, it is necessary in the interests of national security or the maintenance of law and order, he may give direction that any communication... shall be intercepted or monitored in a manner specified in the direction; or any... service... shall be suspended in respect of a person named in the direction". Concerns have been raised that the president, as sole appointee of board members, will exercise his authority to enlist the services of friends and party faithfuls. Overall, the intended piece of legislation is viewed as draconian in that it violates any concepts of freedom of speech, freedom of communication and guarantees of privacy. The bill also intends to amend the Broadcasting Act, provide the repeal of the Postal and Telecommunications Services Act and the Radio Communication Services Act.
