*THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order Hon. Members, let me appeal to Hon. Chinotimba that we are debating on the report – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – Order, can we have order please. Hon. Members to my left please do not help me, I want to speak to Hon. Chinotimba.
Hon. Chinotimba, you can refer to other issues but concentrate on the report, not what has been spoken by someone.
*HON. CHINOTIMBA: Thank you Madam Speaker. I am articulating the issue of corruption. I am not out of order, let me speak. Yesterday, the House of the then Prime Minister which he is staying, millions were stolen but no one was prosecuted. So, what we are saying is that the issue of corruption which was talked by Hon. Mpariwa – I am not supporting corruption. Everyone who is involved in corruption should be prosecuted. Even those who steal should be prosecuted because it is not the President who steals – [HON. CHIBAYA: Inaudible interjections.] –
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, Hon. Chibaya.
HON. MARIDADI: On a point of order Madam Speaker.
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: What is your point of order?
HON. MARIDADI: I find it amiss Hon. Speaker that Hon. Kasukuwere, Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing should stand from his position to go and tell Hon. Chinotimba what to say. It is not acceptable. Hon. Minister, you cannot do that. We do not want thugary in this House and the Minister is resorting to thugary and it is not honourable – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, Hon. Maridadi, you are out of order. Why Hon. Kasukuwere is sitting on the front bench where Ministers are supposed to sit. So, how can you complain?
HON. NDEBELE: On a point of order Madam Speaker.
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: What is your point of order?
HON. NDEBELE: If you continue in this way you will make the situation ungovernable.
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Which way?
HON. NDEBELE: This is Parliament; we are not in a ZANU PF caucus here.
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Which way I want to understand?
HON. NDEBELE: No, no, I have problems with your rulings, we will start singing right now – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –
