8. Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement 9. Parliament of Zimbabwe 10. Zimbabwe Electoral Commission Despite the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act, most public institutions scored badly. This could be a reflection of possible unawareness of the provisions of the new law or simply a reluctance to comply with the new law. There is a need to escalate training and awareness programmes to familiarise both citizens and public institutions with the new law. In that regard, the most secretive public institution for 2021 was the Lupane Local Board while the most open public institution was the Parliament of Zimbabwe and therefore the winner of the MISA Golden Key Award. Meanwhile, the enactment of Statutory Instrument 229 of 2021 as Freedom of Information (General) Regulations 2021, if complied with should go a long way in enhancing access to information as well as speedily dealing with information requests made by members of the public. These regulations obligate entities to publish information on their institutions within six (6) months from the date when the regulations were enacted, and for those that were or will be established post the enactment of the regulations, within six (6) months from the date of establishment of the entity. Information to be published includes their functions, departments and agencies, operating hours and business addresses, among others. A description of the nature or subject of the information that the entity holds should also be included. Entities also have a duty to appoint information officers who will handle information requests and such information officers shall have several functions which include keeping a register of and tracking all applications. 17
