CRIMINAL PENALTIES AMENDMENT BILL, 2001 
MEMORANDUM 
Many statutes give courts power to impose fines upo.n persons who are gUilty of 
criminal offences and other offences such as contempt of court. As a rule the statutes 
specify the maximum (and sometimes the minimum) amount of the tines by reference to 
specific sums of money; thus a statute will commonly provide that any person who contra­
venes a particular statutory provision will be gUilty of an offence and liable to a fine not 
exceeding a specified sum of money, the amount varying according to the gravity of the 
offence concerned. 
Over the years the value of money has declined and many of the fines prescribed in 
our older statutes have become unrealistic. This is particularly so where the statutes pre­
scribe a term of imprisonment that may be imposed in addition to or as an alternative to the 
fine. In many cases the fines do not represent a reasonable alternative to the period of 
imprisonment that may be imposed. For example, section 29 (1) of the Armorial Bearings. 
Names, Uniforms and Badges Act [Chapter 10:01] permits a court to impose a maximum 
fine of $400 or imprisonment for up to two years for certain contraventions of the Act. 
Four hundred dollars is no longer a realistic alternative to two years' imprisonment. 
Up to now the only way to increase these unrealistic fines has been for Parliament to 
amend each statute in which they appear. The purpose of this Bill is to provide a simpler 
alternative. 
This Bill will permit the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs to pub­
lish a notice in the Gazette setting out a standard scale of tines in which he will prescribe 
levels of fines and their corresponding monetary amounts. Thus a fine of level 1 on the 
standard scale may correspond to an amount of $250, a fine of level 2 may correspond to 
$500, and so on. 
Initially it is proposed thatthe various levels and their corresponding monetary amounts 
will be as follows: 
Level

3 
4 
5 
6 
7 
8 
9

Future statutes, when prescribing fines for offences, will not specify the monetary 
amounts of the fines but instead will prescribe the level of the fines: for instance, a statute 
may empower a court to impose a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. If the 
value of money changes the Minister will have pov,;er to alter the monetary amounts pre­
scribed in the standard scale. and may even add new levels of fines. Any such amendment 
to the standard scale will automatically increase the courts' power to impose fines. where 
the fines are expressed as levels on the scale. For example, where a statute allows a court 
to impose a tine not exceeding level I on the standard scale. the court will ,initially have 
power to impose a fine of up to $250. If the Minister were to amend the standard scale so 
that level I represents $500, the court would have power to impose a fine of up to $500 
under the statute concerned. Any increase in the monetary amounts in the standard scale 
will not affect the penalties to which persons are liable for offences committed before the 
date of commencement of the increase. In other words, increases in monetary amounts 
will not have retrospective effect. Decreases in monetary amounts, on the other hand, will 
have the dIect of reducing the penalties for offences committed before decreases came 
into effect: this will give effect to article 15.1 of the International Covenant on Civil and 
Political Rights, to which Zimbabwe is a party. 
The standard scale of fines will be brought into effect through clause 3 of the Bill. 
which will insert a new section in the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act [Chapter 
9:07] empowering the Minister to publish a scale of fines in the Gazette and to amend the 
scale from time to time when necessary. Clause 2 of the Bill will make a consequential 
amendment to the Interptetation Act [Chapter 1:01]. The Bill's schedule will amend the 
penalty provisions of a large number of statutes by deleting references to specific sums of 
money that may be imposed by way of fines and substituting them with references to 
appropriate levels on the standard scale. In addition, the opportunity has been taken to 
increase the penalties for certain offences where it was felt that existing penalties (both fine 
and imprisonment) were no longer adequate. IPIN/lIZWE/EI 1
