Maridadi asks Mphoko, do you eat or sleep at night when you hear so much corruption in government?

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: Hon. Holder, I will not allow you to continue in that way.  If you continue to shout, I will not hesitate to chase you out of this House.

HON. MARIDADI: ZINARA, when I hear the word ZINARA….

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: Hon. Maridadi, you are left with five minutes. – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –  Hon. Members on my right, this is a very important motion.

HON. MARIDADI: I am left with five minutes but I am being disturbed.  My recommendation Madam Speaker; the Portfolio Committee Chairperson has given timelines of what must be done.  Those timelines must be observed.  If this Parliament wants to be taken seriously by the people that we represent out there, heads in Government must roll.  The first head to roll in this Government is that of Mr. Munodawafa.  Concurrently, the head that must roll is that of Professor Gudyanga.  If it were me running the show, I would expect the Minister to come with the resignation of the Permanent Secretary.  He hands it over to the President and says Mr. President, here is the resignation letter from the Permanent Secretary and by the way, here is my resignation as well and they leave together.  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank you.
