The real reason Mliswa was expelled from Parliament on Tuesday

HON. T. MLISWA: No, she cannot do this, she cannot do this.

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: Why are we being abused like this?

Hon. T. Mliswa continued to debate after the microphones were switched off.

HON. T. MLISWA: Was Gukurahundi not an act of ZANU PF? – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: This is getting out of hand – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

HON. T. MLISWA: Unoda kuti ndidzingwe muParliament hausi Speaker. Hunzai mapurisa handisi kubuda nhasi, hunzai mapurisa endai munotora Leader of Government Business.  Gukurahundi was an act of ZANU PF.  Why do you want to support him?  It was an act of ZANU PF and those people who were involved in Gukurahundi, there must be a commission of inquiry, what they did was unpatriotic – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – Handisi kubuda nhasi huyai imika kuno uku. We cannot have a Parliament when one is honest wakudzingwa.  Ndinodzingirwa chii?  Madam Speaker, if the seat is too hot, do not sit there.  It is hot, I am telling you.  Ko ndinoburitsirwei? Gukurahundi haina kuitwa neZANU PF here? Hamuzvizivi here? – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –   Ndamboti First kana Second Republic here, chii chakunetsai. That is a fact murikundidzingira izvovo.  Ngaanotora mapurisa vambomhanyamhanya, handisi kubuda nhasi.  Chii chamungandiita, hapana mutemo unondidzinga muParliament.  Hatiwaste tax payers money tichiuya kuno muchindidzinga kuti ndadii, handibvume izvozvo ndirikuita basa renyika.  We are talking about the Patriotic Bill.  ZIPRA does not have its farms as of to date, is that patriotism?  Makati vatengesa mukati Gamatox Amai Mujuri vatengesa, E.D mukamudzinga mukati atengesa, haasi mapatriots here ivava? Is E.D. not patriotic, is Mai Mujuru not patriotic.  E.D. akadzingwa neZANU PF, is he not patriotic?  You want to bring your caucus Bills so that you settle your differences. We do not need this institution to come up with laws to settle personal scores, it is not for that.

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: We are suspending business of the House for the next 10 minutes.

Business was suspended at 1611 hours and resumed at 1614 hours.

HON.  NYAMUDEZA: On a point of order Madam Speaker.

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: What is your point of order?

HON. NYAMUDEZA:  Hon. Makoni spoke about Gukurahundi earlier on before Hon. T. Mliswa but the Hon. Member was not asked to leave Parliament.  It is surprising that Hon. T. Mliswa spoke about the same issue and he is now being asked to go out, why?

THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: You brought a good point.  Hon. T. Mliswa is not being chased because of the Gukurahundi issue. He is being asked to go out because he was insulting other political parties, that is unparliamentary – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – I advise the Hon. Member that if he did not hear him properly, I kindly request you to refer to the Hansard tomorrow.  Everything will be recorded accurately in the Hansard.  What we do in this House is done in an orderly manner.  Thank you.
