Mliswa kicked out of Parliament after claiming Justice Minister Ziyambi visits n’angas seeking favours

THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (HON. ZIYAMBI): Madam Speaker, he must withdraw his words or he must go out.

HON. T. MLISWA: No, you are not the Chair to say that. You went there.

THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (HON. ZIYAMBI): Can you withdraw.

HON. T. MLISWA: I have evidence and I can show you the evidence of the person he went to and it is in my phone.

THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (HON. ZIYAMBI): Can you withdraw. This is abuse of Parliament Madam Speaker.

HON. T. MLISWA: I have evidence.

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: No, this is not the platform Hon. Mliswa. You are actually abusing me, you are not abusing him.

HON. T. MLISWA: I have evidence and I can show it to you.

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: No, I do not want to see that.

Hon. Mliswa, leave the House.

HON. T. MLISWA: Iwewe regera nyaya yokuenda kun’anga uchitsvaka mafavours. You have been doing this for a very long time. You cannot send me outside when he was there. He cannot do that. He went to a witch-doctor and I have evidence.

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: No, this is not Mashonaland West. No Hon. Mliswa.

HON. T. MLISWA: You were supposed to ask for evidence not to chuck me out of the House unless if he is using the same spell on you again. Ndizvo zvaanoita, mishonga yake yaanoita and ndakuexpoza.

Hon. Mliswa was escorted out of the House by the Serjeant-at-Arms.

THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (HON. ZIYAMBI):   Madam Speaker I think this is unbecoming behavior in the House and I propose that action must be taken. It is not the first time. On several occasions he causes commotion in the House, he does not respect anyone and I believe that he is abusing his presence in the House, particularly on Wednesdays to abuse the House. I think it is high time that the Hon. Member is investigated by Parliament. He has been abusing Ministers, fellow MPs and everyone else and I do not know why we have been lenient with him. He does not respect the rules of this House and he does whatever he wants and abuses everyone. I believe that as Parliament, we must investigate his behavior. He has been doing this for a very long time and these incidences are well documented. I plead with you Madam Speaker that an investigation be done on his conduct in this august House. He is a shame to this House.

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: I have noted your concerns Hon. Minister. I will give a ruling tomorrow. Thank you.
