Munacho-Mutezo
Loses Parly seat…Mutezo

Staff Reporter |Zanu PF has recalled former deputy Energy and Power Development Minister and Chimanimani west legislator Munacho Mutezo from parliament.
Mutezo has been on the firing line for allegedly siding with the ousted former vice President Joice Mujuru.
Mutezo’s ouster was endorsed by the party’s highest decision making body, the Politburo last week after getting recommendations by the Zanu PF disciplinary appeals and review committee of the Central Committee, which was chaired by Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko, to expel the legislator.
Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda this week officially announced Mutezo’s expulsion from Parliament.
“I would like to inform the House that on the 16th August 2016, I was notified by the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) that Mr. Munacho Mutezo, a Member of the National Assembly for Chimanimani Constituency had ceased to be a Member of ZANU PF. Therefore, he no longer represents the interest of the party in Parliament,” he said.
This means that Chimanimani west constituency is now vacant.

The expulsion of Eng Mutezo from Parliament comes after recently Zanu PF recalled Norton legislator Christopher Mutsvangwa.

  1. Expulsion after expulsion, is it solving the country’s political and economic crises?In countries with sound constitutional democracy,the head of state should had dissolved parliament and called for a snap general election to seek a new mandate from the electorate. Tsvangirai recalled his MPs and never participated in the by elections.If one looks at the number of MPs recalled since 2014 they constitute more than 3/4 of original elected MPs.This current parliament definitely lacks credibility and legitimacy.To confirm Zanu pf’s legitimacy in the face of economic crises,it has no option but to seek a new mandate from the electorate,no two ways about it.
