By Own Correspondent| Former MDC T legislator for Harare West has unveiled a document dubbed “Report Of My 2013-2018 Parliament of Zimbabwe Term in National Assembly for Harare West” where she details her contributions as member of parliament for the past two terms.

Majome, who is standing as an independent in the forthcoming polls set to be held in 15 days, appealed to the electorate to give her a fresh mandate saying she “will work her hardest” to deliver as a representative of Harare westerners in the National House of Assembly.

Below is the full text of Majome’s report.

I hope I find you well. It is my pleasure to present to you the attached report which is my account to you as your Member of Parliament in the National Assembly for Harare West in the 2013-2018 term which will end on midnight of 29 July to pave way for the elections. The picture is from last year’s Parliamentof Zimbabwe opening.

It has always been important to me to, despite the absence of constituency offices, meeting venues and an administrative budget, constantly endeavour to account to you for my work for and in your name. As such I constantly communicate with you through my social media platforms, telephones and meetings at my law chambers, and in our communities, using contact details are at the end of this letter, and which I invite you to use.

From the outset I wish to thank you most sincerely for the honour of holding your mandate in the august House, and for interacting with me as that helps to make my representation authentic.

My report has a parliamentary part and a constituency part, and due to the volume of work done, represents only highlights of my representation of you. I invite those who can to see the Hansard on www.parlzim.gov.zw for my full Parliamentary contributions.

Among the accomplishments you and I should be proud of are that it is our constituency, through questions to ministers by me, which brought the constitutional State of The Nation Address, independent committee annual reports, and through my ZINARA motion, caused government to rethink the collection of car licence road maintenance revenue by ZINARA and restore it to councils which has in the meantime seen Treasury allocating money to reconstruct the following 13 roads in our constituency and others nationwide in the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme :
1.Elizabeth Windsor Road
2. Harare Drive (Kirkman Rd to Lomagundi Rd)
3. Good Hope Road
4. Belfast Road
5. Marlborough Drive
6. Gilchrist Road
7. Quendon Road
8. Bingley Drive
9. Ashdown Drive
10. Avonlea Drive
11. Tynwald North Road
12. Lorraine Drive
13. Suffolk Road.

In addition history will record that we in Harare West contributed to the removal from office of the former President Robert Mugabe by having its MP, namely myself, having the distinction of being one of the five MPs chosen from both houses, debate the motion to impeach him in terms of section 97 of the Constitution that ultimately pressurized him to resign.

It has been an honour to serve you. I will end by borrowing the meaning of a quotation by Julia Gillard Australian Prime Minister I hope that by this sample of my work it will show that “Can I say to the (Harare West) people there will be days I delight you, there may be days I disappoint you. On every day I will be working my absolute hardest for you’’

It has been an absolute honour to serve you, for which I thank you, and which I will be humbly seeking again, as an independent candidate at the end of my term.
