Why do I say so? Madam Speaker, some of these Land Officers are also now utilising land redistribution as a political tool in order to utilise it as a spring board for their own political aspirations and power grabing. I am alive to the fact that in my Constituency in Chegutu West, there was a Land Officer by the name of Kunonga who was transferred to Kadoma, but as we speak Madam Speaker, his wife is the one who is heading the Lands Department in Chegutu. This man we are talking about has got an appetite for a political position wherever, because he was once in Chegutu wanting a position of an MP but was transferred, but now who has been Christened and installed in Chegutu is his wife. We have not done justice to issues of incest and in issues of corruption. We have just transferred a problem and we have created another one in Chegutu West in particular.
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Can you put off that.
HON. NDUNA: At some point, between 2013 and 2016, I called not for relocation of Land Officers. I said there was a Land Officer who was in Chegutu who has now been transferred to Chiredzi.

HON. NDUNA: Thank you Madam Speaker and thank you for allowing me to continue. The …

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Hon. Member, you cannot cross the floor like that. I think you know the rules.
HON. NDUNA: If you can allow me to continue.
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order Hon. Members.
HON. NDUNA: Madam Speaker, the National Assembly and Parliament in particular is not only an arena to display oratory prowess and public speaking prowess, but it is an arena to also bring to bare and bring to the open some of the corruption activities that are carried out in our Constituencies. I am reliably informed that the relocation of one Mr. Kunonga to Kadoma has not done good. He is still parceling and selling land in Kadoma. So, the sooner the Minister sees that we have such corruption infested …
THE DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order Hon. Member. Please can you take your sit? We cannot keep on speaking about a particular person who is not able to come here and explain on his behalf. Honestly, I think about the staff of the Ministry of Lands, that one you can go to the Ministry so that it is solved.
