Chikwinya in trouble

The Member of Parliament for Mbizo Settlement Chikwinya is in trouble. He could be charged with contempt of Parliament for claiming that Speaker Jacob Mudenda had watered down the motion on good governance which was proposed by Kambuzuma legislator Willias Madzimure, the Speaker said today. Chikwinya seconded the motion. Mudenda said all amendments to Madzimure’s motion were agreed with him. Madzimure actually thanked Mudenda for seeing the motion through saying that the secretariat wanted to block it. Chikwinya was quite harsh on corrupt leaders especially those heading state enterprises. He said that since Zimbabwe had adopted a Look East policy it must follow the example of China and hang corrupt parastatal bosses because they were not only killing the organisations that they worked for the people as a whole. “Since we have now looked East Mr. Speaker, the Chinese, if I can take them into cognisance, have put capital punishment to corruption. If you are found being corrupt and working for a parastatal in China, you face capital punishment because you are not only killing the organisation which you are working for. You are killing the State and the State is the public,” he said.
