Kasukuwere continues to tread his unconstitutional path

The Statement  by the Local government  Minister Saviour Kasukuwere to the effect that he will allocate 1 500 hectares of State land per constituency exclusively for the use by Zanu PF youths  in housing development is as sickening as it is unconstitutional.

The comprehensive Bill of rights in our new Constitution not only makes housing for all a basic right, but also clearly forbids discrimination of any kind. We in the MDC are now putting Kasukuwere on notice that gone are the days in which he could trample on people’s rights with impunity. It is ironic that the gentleman purports to be studying law but seems to be missing his lectures.

In this regard, we will be filing a formal complaint with the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission seeking his censure and a binding pledge that he will allocate housing land on a non-partisan basis to all Zimbabwean youths without regard to colour, tribe, religion, and/or political affiliation.

 

Jameson Timba (Mr)
Shadow Minister for Local Government
