Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba yesterday welcomed Movement for Democratic Change vice-president Nelson Chamisa as the pastor in the House and hoped that he is no longer going to talk nonsense in Parliament but will pray for Members of Parliament when they go out of order.
“He should preach so that we have peace in the country and he should not be involved in mischief,” Chinotimba said.
“I have stood up to just thank the Pastor that is in this House. We now have a Pastor who does not speak nonsense or who is stubborn because the Bible that I read says, if there is a person among us who is stubborn, the Pastor should pray for us and he should not move around with people who are lazy and stubborn.”

I have stood up to just thank the Pastor that is in this House. We now have a Pastor who does not speak nonsense or who is stubborn because the Bible that I read says, if there is a person among us who is stubborn, the Pastor should pray for us and he should not move around with people who are lazy and stubborn. Thank you Pastor.
*THE HON. SPEAKER: We have heard that. I think Hon. Chamisa has heard about it and we are all happy for him.
