Parly demands meeting with ‘misled’ Mugabe

OPPOSITION MPs yesterday demanded an audience with President Robert Mugabe to discuss government decay, saying the Zanu PF leader was being misled over the true state of the nation by his divided Cabinet.

The call was made by opposition MPs, Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga (Proportional Representation — MDC) and James Maridadi (Mabvuku-Tafara — MDC-T), as they were cheered on by Zanu PF legislators, who blasted Cabinet ministers for misleading Mugabe.

“We respectfully want the President to come to Parliament to meet with MPs without the Executive and we are going to be respectful, and if we do not respect him, we will respect his office,” Maridadi said, as the 10 ministers, who were present in the House sat stone-faced.
