STATEMENT ON THE RECALLING FROM PARLIAMENT

Good Afternoon Marondera

Today as expected I have been recalled from Parliament by ThokoZANU Khupe.

The announcement was done by the Speaker of Parliament Adv Jacob Mudenda.

Firstly allow me to pay gratitude to the people of Marondera for the hope and trust you bestowed in me to represent your interests in the Parliament of Zimbabwe; it has been an absolute privilege.

Cdes and Friends, the crisis in Zimbabwe is not about person political or personal benefit; it is about the economic emancipation of the people of our great country and Marondera Central is no exception. In Parliament I have debated and taught on many issues that concern us as a town and indeed the Country. I will continue to fight for these issues as long as ZANU Pf continues to drive this country into the doldrums of extreme poverty.

Marondera!! It has never been about me personally but about us as a community. We desire a government that will listen to the needs of its people; a government that will adequately protect and pay its civil servants from teachers, police, soliders and the whole fraternity. It would have been easy to submit to Khupe and remain in Parliament; BUT make no mistake, it was never about me but about you the good and gracious people of Marondera Central.

I was elected under the able leadership of President Nelson Chamisa who I wholeheartedly believe will deliver this country to the land of milk and honey that we beseech. I remain and stand by President Nelson Chamisa.

Marondera Central; our very voice that you proclaimed in 2018 has been beaten BUT it will never be silenced. In the two years I have had a lot happen to me including the merciless shooting at my house. I have never shaken and I will continue to be that voice. They may remove me from the Parliament building but they can never remove me from the hearts and people of Marondera.

Cdes and friends, we live to fight another day.

Aluta Continua

Chamisa Chete Chete

God bless Zimbabwe
God bless Marondera

I thank you

The People’s MP
