ZURA attends to complaints against a supplier of regulated goods or services in relation to any matter connected with the supply, possible supply or proposed supply of goods or services. There is a dedicated unit, under Head of Legal Unit which receives and follow up complaints from consumers of regulated goods and services.

The major underlying policy on consumer complaints handling procedure centres on: o Consumer Protection - The need for service providers to provide reliable, quality and affordable goods or services; o Preference to amicable complaints settlement procedure as opposed to litigation; o Having a speedier, just and less bureaucratic complaints handling procedure.
