Скачать или смотреть Zimbabwe MPs Ordered to Stop 'Unnecessary' Trips: Parliament Empty!

Zimbabwe's Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda, has ordered MPs to halt 'unnecessary' portfolio committee trips after noticing a significant number of empty seats during parliamentary sittings.
This directive comes after concerns were raised about MPs prioritizing committee trips over parliamentary attendance, leaving constituents unrepresented. Chief Whip Pupurai Togarepi highlighted that some committees were traveling without proper authorization.
Mudenda emphasized that MPs' primary duty is to be present in Parliament to represent their constituents' voices. He stated that no committees should travel unless absolutely necessary, putting attendance first.
Some observers have noted that MPs have recently been demanding higher allowances, and these trips provide additional income.
