Farai Dziva| An MDC Official has has scoffed at the ruling made by National Assembly Speaker, Advocate Jacob Mudenda on MDC MPs’ allowances.

Mudenda indicated that Parliament would withhold sitting allowances for MDC MPs after they walked out while President Emmerson Mnangagwa was delivering his State of the Nation Address (SONA).

MDC secretary-general, Chalton Hwende, said :

The Speaker of Parliament thinks that the MDC Alliance MPs are deployed to Parliament to get allowances?

He is wrong, we are there to represent the 2.6 million voters who voted for Nelson Chamisa.

Our Parliamentary agenda is to ensure that those votes are made to count.”
