Some of the pieces of legislation that the Code re-enacts and brings together include: the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act [Chapter 9:07]; the Customary Marriages Act [Chapter 5:07]; the Intellectual Property Tribunal Act [Chapter 26:08]; the Labour Act [Chapter 28:01]; the Miscellaneous Offences Act [Chapter 9:17]; the Police Act [Chapter 11:10]; the Preservation of Constitutional Government Act [Chapter 11:01]; the Public Order and Security Act [Chapter 11:17]; and the Road Traffic Act [Chapter 13:11]. However, this discussion will only focus on the re-enactments or additions that have been made on some sections of POSA, which have a bearing on the work of journalists and civil society organisations. Special focus will also be on how the changes, if any, affect such fundamental issues such as individuals’ constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of association and assembly, and freedom of expression, etc. In particular, this analysis will touch on Chapter III of the Code (sections 19 to 34), which outlines crimes against the state, and Chapter IV of the Code (sections 35 to 46), which outlines crimes against public order.
