ZANU-PF to monitor MPs

The Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front is to monitor and evaluate the performance of its legislators from January next year.

Party chairman Simon Khaya Moyo said all ZANU-PF legislators will in January be required to submit reports on development projects they had embarked on over the past three months.
According to The Herald, Moyo the party will also go to the constituencies to check whether the contents of the reports were true.

He said the MPs should consult the people on the development projects they wanted and should desist from coming up with irrelevant projects.

“Your performance in the coming five years should be a clear indication that you are up to the task,” he said.

Several MPs were accused of abusing the constituency development fund in the last parliament.

Each MP was allocated $50 000, but some abused it with one ZANU-PF legislator alleged to have only used $696 for the constituency and pocketing the remainder.
