Zimbabwe should take back land from those who cannot use it-MP says

We do not want to come into this august House and be legislators who are going to oversee a sinking thing just because some people are greed. I hope we will definitely do that.  It is not an attack on anybody but it is a pure appeal to say let us all be sincere with this land issue because this is where the economy lies.  Once we are sincere about it, if we are given land and we use it, then we are good to go.

Finally Mr. Speaker Sir, I hope that on command agriculture, if ever there is anybody who has decided to be devil enough to take inputs and corruptly sell them, definitely they must be brought to book this time so that people know that our system has got teeth.  Talking, threatening people and doing nothing will cause people to continue doing wrong things.  At the same time, it is the Government that is going to be blamed.  I hope if ever there is anybody who is doing anything of that kind, they must know that they will face the music and let them be exemplary.  We mean business because this is about the nation’s survival.  The nation will never survive as long as agriculture is not intact.  Mr. Speaker Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk about these issues.  I hope that we are all going to look at these issues not on partisan or ethnic lines but on reality because we are Zimbabweans.  It is our country and we need it to survive and we can only do that if we have one vision and the vision that is being propelled by His. Excellency, the President of Zimbabwe.  I thank you.
