By Own Correspondent| Zengeza West legislator and lawyer Job Sikhala who was yesterday barred from representing two parliamentarians facing allegations of demanding a $400 000 bribe from a local businessman has vowed to challenge the decision by parliament through the courts.

Sikhala was barred from representing Binga North member of parliament Prince Dubeko Sibanda and Magwegwe legislator Anele Ndebele after the committee set up by Parliament to investigate the matter ruled that there was conflict of interest due to his role as a Member of Parliament.

Ndebele and Sibanda are facing the allegations together with Temba Mliswa (Norton) and Zanu Pf’s Leonard Chikomba (Gokwe Kabuyuni)

The four were members of the now disbanded Mines and Energy Committee and are accused of demanding the bribe from James Ross Goddard of JRG Contracting (Pvt) Ltd as a “facilitation fee” to enable him secure a contract to mine coal at Hwange.
