Jane Mlambo| Firebrand Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa has rallied his counterparts in the National Assembly to reject the 2019 budget until government curtail unnecessary spending.

Mliswa who has been unequivocal in his stance against corruption said government of Zimbabwe was over the years exceeding budgets without consulting or getting authority from parliament which in an ideal situation should provide checks and balances on the executive.

Parly needs to stamp its authority&not pass Govt budgets until Govt can curtail expenditure. 2017 Govt unlawfully exceeded budgets without consultation or authorisation. Why should they get more money when they’ve not addressed their situation&comply? We must stand for the people

Finance Minister, Mthuli Ncube is due to present the 2019 budget before the end of the year and it remains to be seen if Mliswa will succeed in rallying other parliamentarians from both Zanu PF and MDC to push through his idea.
