By James-Gwati- Zanu PF has targeted the remaining MDC-Alliance lawmakers for mocking President Emmerson Mnangagwa in parliament.

According to the state media, a committee, chaired by lawyer and Mudzi South National Assembly member Jonathan Samkange (Zanu PF) has recommended that all the 118 sitting and former MDC Members of Parliament and senators who sang, remained seated or walked out when President Mnangagwa came to Parliament on five formal occasions should be found in contempt of Parliament, be fined $400 000 each and lose their diplomatic passports.

The report said two MPs, Zengeza West MP Mr Job Sikhala and former Mbizo MP Mr Settlement Chikwinya, should pay additional second fines of $800 000 for disrespecting the committee when it was carrying out its work as well as disrespecting the President.

According to the Zanu Pf report, if approved that would bring their fines to $1,2 million.

The state media said Parliament had the right to investigate charges of contempt of Parliament and can withdraw privileges, impose fines and, in the case of its members, suspend these members.
