The pitfalls of a weak Legislature

THE ruling Zanu PF party has begun flexing its muscle in Parliament by shutting out key debates on national issues.

NewsDay reported yesterday that deputy Speaker of the National Assembly  Tsitsi Gezi on Tuesday blocked debate in the august House on Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party activists who were arrested on Sunday at their interim leader Jameson Timba’s house in Avondale, Harare.

 Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda last week blocked  debate in the National Assembly on President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rant against neighbouring Zambia during a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
