By A Correspondent- MDC Alliance Secretary General Chalton Hwende has been asked to surrender his diplomatic passport after MDC T recalled him from parliament. The matter came to light on Twitter after Zanu PF posted the following letter to Hwende from the parliament clerk:
Dear Mr Hwende
RE: RETRIEVAL OF DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT
As you maybe aware, His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa gracefully extended the facility for all Members of Parliament to hold Diplomatic Passports in September 2019.
