Own Correspondent|Buhera South MP Joseph Chinotimba has called for the arrest of MDC leader Nelson Chamisa for allegedly calling for renewed sanctions on the country.

Speaking on a point of privilege in parliament on Tuesday, Chinotimba accused the MDC President of destroying Zimbabwe by allegedly calling for sanctions in his recent foreign trips.

Full extract of Chinotimba’s debate in parliament.

On a point of privilege Madam Speaker,  I think we have come to a point where Parliament should do its job.  This country is now in tatters because of some people.  To be honest with you, a senior who was once a Parliamentarian left Zimbabwe and went to Germany, Britain and America to ensure that this country suffers economically. We have been quiet but it is now time that we come up with legislation with a mandatory sentence for people who go out of the country and advocate for sanctions that economically harm the nation to be arrested.    People are suffering and they are living in poverty yet they are the same people who are supposed to vote for them.  It is time that as authorities of this nation we interrogate these issues, especially countries like America
