Moyo vows to continue Parliament boycott

Zimbabwe’s Seventh Parliament is “dysfunctional”, Tsholotsho North MP Jonathan Moyo (Zanu PF) said on Tuesday as he defended his scant
attendances.

Moyo has been named along with more than two dozen other MPs — including Mines minister Obert Mpofu (Zanu PF), Heneri Dzinotyiweyi (MDC-T), Jameson Timba (MDC-T), Stan Mudenge (Zanu PF), Didymus Mutasa (Zanu PF) and Joel Gabbuza (MDC-T) — as top absconders from parliamentary meetings.

MPs who miss 21 consecutive parliamentary sittings without official leave can be expelled if half the legislature votes for the motion, according to parliamentary rules.
