MP says ministers should be charged for attending a cabinet meeting instead of Parliament

HON. MUTSEYAMI: Thank you Mr. Speaker Sir. Mine is on a progressive aspect with regard to the issue. I propose that all those Cabinet Ministers who are attending Cabinet today must be charged with contempt of Parliament and that process – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.]- that process must be done anytime soon in accordance with our Constitution.

THE HON. SPEAKER: Order, order. Hon. Mutseyami, when your Chief Whip has spoken and when the Vice President of your party has spoken, you cannot speak. – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

THE HON. SPEAKER:  Order, order.  Hon. Gonese, Chief whip and Hon. Chamisa, Vice President of the MDC Party, had spoken already and in terms of protocol, Hon. Mutseyami, you are not supposed to speak.

HON. MUTSEYAMI:  It is alright Mr. Speaker Sir.  I withdraw my statement as a backbencher.
