Glen Norah Member of Parliament Webster Maondera said Zimbabweans did not want bond notes so legislators who were supporting the bill to introduce bond notes deserved to be killed by a firing squad because they were going against the will of the people.
Maondera who was given little time o talk because of numerous interjections said Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa should therefore go back to the drawing board and do some thorough homework.
“Mr. Speaker Sir, from the report that was given by the Committee that collected the views of the people, it looks like the majority of the people were against the bond notes,” he said.
“So if I could have my own way, those people who are supporting bond notes deserve to be killed by a firing squad because they are going against the will of the people of Zimbabwe.”
Full contribution:
HON. MAONDERA: Thank you Hon. Speaker. I represent a constituency and I have got the views of my constituents so, I have got every right to debate – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – I cannot proceed if you continue to make noise and you will delay yourselves.
Mr. Speaker Sir, from the report that was given by the Committee that collected the views of the people, it looks like the majority of the people were against the bond notes. So if I could have my own way, those people who are supporting bond notes deserve to be killed by a firing squad because they are going against the will of the people of Zimbabwe – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – Mr. Chairman, can I be protected?
HON. ZIYAMBI: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Sir. The Hon. Member is using unparliamentary language to the effect that he wants those members who are supporting the Bill to be put on a firing squad. It is uparliamnentary language which should not be allowed in a democratic society.
THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: Hon. Member, if you are short of facts there is no point of you standing up to debate. Let other people debate. Be factual.
HON. MAONDERA: I was saying it in a metaphorical way.
