Let me hasten to say, at the moment in our country, with regards to our currency – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – Madam Speaker, your protection please. Like I said earlier, the exchange rate is what is problematic at the moment. This is why you will discover that some Government departments will be operating as if they are digressing from Government policy. This is something that is happening at the moment as we seek to address the problem through the Monetary Policy Statement. By the time we issue the statement, there will be collective measures that will include any policies that may not be followed at the moment. I thank you.
HON. TSVANGIRAI: Thank you Madam Speaker. I realise that the Hon. Deputy Minister is not telling the truth. – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, order please may we have order in the House. Hon. Tsvangirai, you cannot put words in the Hon. Deputy Minister’s mouth for him to respond according to your expectations. It is wrong of you to say that the Hon. Deputy Minister is not telling the truth. Please withdraw that statement!
HON. TSVANGIRAI: Thank you Madam Speaker – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, order, may we have order in the House. Hon. Tsvangirai, you should first start by withdrawing your statement.
HON. TSVANGIRAI: Thank you Madam Speaker. My question is – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – I withdraw Madam Speaker.
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Thank you.
HON. TSVANGIRAI: My supplementary question is, when are we getting the Monetary Policy Statement because people can not afford to put food on the table, they cannot afford…
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, order, may you please stick to one language and stop code switching.
HON. TSVANGIRAI: My question is when are we going to receive the monetary policy because where we come from, people cannot afford to put food on the table? They cannot afford healthcare – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] – Madam Speaker can I be protected please?
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Hon. Tsvangirai, we want order in the House. If you want to quarrel you can go outside.
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Thank you.
