MP blocked from querying Bona Mugabe’s appointments

Q &A

HON. SITHOLE:  My supplementary question to the Minister is emanating from Section 194(k) of the Constitution, which clearly states that ‘employment, training and advancement practices must be based on merit, ability, objectivity, fairness, equality of men and women and the inclusion of persons with disabilities.’  I would want to know the Government policy regarding the appointment of various persons in various boards.  I am saying this on the background of what we recently read in the media which related to nepotism, whereby the daughter of the President was appointed to sit on two boards and the son of the President also appointed as senior official in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development.

THE HON. SPEAKER:  Order, when we ask supplementary questions, they must be anchored on the primary question that was asked.  The primary question was exportation of labour and what you are raising now has nothing to do with exportation of labour.
