Chinotimba’s contribution on corruption turns Parliament into a circus

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Hon. Member, there should be a reason.  Because this is not his motion, his time cannot be extended.

*HON. CHINOTIMBA:  Thank you Madam Speaker.  I wanted to talk about NSSA, that during Hon. Mpariwa’s term people got loans and got houses.  Those people who bought houses are no longer with NSSA because of corruption.  The Bible that I read says, “do not see the small speck that is in someone’s eyes and not focus on the log that is in your eye.”  What I am saying is that this should be looked into and we should start from the root cause.

I heard Hon. Mliswa saying that the GNU was worse, which means that the people in this country.  Have faith in President Mugabe.  You are going to see all of them falling down.  They are not going to win.  As they spoke here, they were talking about money.  They are the ones who want to build our nation, but they corrupt our nation so that our country suffers. So, how do we progress as a nation?

Our money that we are using, they went to where it is printed and said, do not print it and this is corruption.  So, what I am saying is, if we can say all the people that I have talked about from both sides, all those people who stole at that time, the money that he used to build his house – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – but you have eaten into my time because of point of orders, but what I have said is that we do not want corruption in this country, whether it is the opposition or ZANU PF.  Corruption is corruption.

All those people who engage in corrupt activities should be prosecuted.  Even councils, when Kasukuwere is now prosecuting people, they should not be cry babies.  I thank you.
