By Own Correspondent| MDC legislator Job Sikhala’s bid to represent his colleagues facing a parliamentary probe following allegations of corruption yesterday hit a snag after the Privileges Committee of parliament ruled that he was conflicted.

However, Sikhala vowed to challenge the ruling at court arguing that his clients’ rights to fair and just representation by a legal practitioner of their choice had been violated.

The Priviledges Committee led by Chairperson Chief Fortune Charambira ruled that Sikhala could not represent Magwegwe constituency legislator Anele Ndebele and Binga North member of parliament Prince Dubeko Sibanda in a parliamentary hearing over $400k corruption allegations arguing that he was conflicted.

Charumbira said the committee resolved to excuse Sikhala since he was also a legislator who would debate parliamentary motions of findings by the committee on Sibanda and Ndebele.

However, Sikhala vowed to challenge the decision by parliament through the courts.

Said Sikhala:

“……they have reduced the hearing to a Zanu Pf kangaroo court where they have roped in my clients into their factional fights.

….They are also scared of my capacity to defend my clients because they know they have no case…

Test assured, I am going to take this case further. I am seeking recourse through the courts because it is a Constitutional violation….”
