Mliswa says Muchinguri-Kashiri should issue a ministerial statement on Rusununguko. Wadyajena should step down as chairman of the Lands portfolio committee

At this point in time, with immediate effect, he must step down. It is the best practice even if the rule is not there. He has no respect amongst his colleagues anymore and unfortunately, the blue eyed boy for vakuru in this Parliament has fallen. I am sure he will fall with many others too because these transactions are quite serious. I have evidence and I will be providing the evidence to ZACC in terms of saying as Parliament, we cannot push for corruption and expose Ministers but we are in the forefront of it.  People like Hon. Nduna were removed and so forth without evidence but here is the evidence and here are the allegations.

On another note Madam Speaker, the 200% which Government has reversed on reversing invoices is unacceptable. We need a ministerial statement on that. People in business borrowed money and when they borrowed money, suddenly it is 200%. That is unacceptable and we cannot go another phase again of making people poor. We need to respect business and we need to respect contracts signed and invoices given. You cannot reverse the invoice again. So we want a ministerial statement from the Minister of Finance, why they have decided to reverse the invoices and charge 200%. It is illegal.

I would like to stop by saying I thank you for your indulgence, pamwe pacho manditsiura mukati Hon. Mliswa, I will give you a chance to speak and so do not be angry. Asi kutsamwa kunobva kana musingatipe mukana wekutaura. Tinoboiler, vamwe tinokakamira, vamwe havakakame, saka hasha dzinobva dzawanda and hadzisi kungo tirigwa. Regerai nditaure nyange ndichikakamira, kana zvisina basa hazvina basa, ndizvo zvandinokumbira. Ndosaka ndakasarudzwa nevanhu kuti zvandataura zvine basa nezvisina basa vanongoteerera. When the term for voting comes, they will chuck me out. Ndinonzwa kana ndichivharwa nokuti kuzvipira hupenyu hwangu. To talk about soldiers, some of us cannot say it but my God protects me and there is nothing to fear but many of us cannot say it. So I also speak on behalf of the country. I am not pursuing Temba Mliswa’s agenda but I am pursuing the country’s problems. Thank you.

*THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Hon. Mliswa, you mentioned about a ministerial statement from the Minister of Defence. We will let her know through the Government Chief Whip. You also mentioned about Hon. Wadyajena, unfortunately I cannot comment on that issue since the matter is before the courts. You also mentioned the issue of 200% for loans. You kindly asked about a ministerial statement but I think since we are in the process of the Finance Bill, you can raise issues like that since they work hand-in-hand. You can bring those issues when the Bill is being debated.  – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections]
