Zimbabwe’s newly elected Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators are scheduled to be sworn in on Thursday, marking the beginning of the tenth parliament since the country gained independence.
The announcement was made by Kennedy Chokuda, the Clerk of Parliament, through an extraordinary gazette. According to the notice, 279 MPs and 90 Senators are expected to take their oath of office. Chokuda said:
<blockquote>
It is hereby notified that, in terms of section 128 (1) of the Constitution, the day and time for Member of Parliament before the Clerk of Parliament in the form set out in the Third Schedule to the Constitution shall be – (a) ten o’clock in the morning on Thursday, the 7th of September, 2023, for Members of the National Assembly; and (b) half past two o’clock in the afternoon on Thursday, the 7th of September, 2023, for Members of the Senate; at the Parliament Building, Harare.
</blockquote>
The swearing-in ceremony follows the harmonized elections that took place on August 23 of this year. The ruling party, ZANU PF, secured 136 electable seats, while the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) won 73 seats. However, the actual number of MPs being sworn in will be slightly higher, as there are legislators from both parties appointed to the parliament under the proportional representation system. ZANU PF will have 176 legislators taking their oath, and the CCC will have 103.
In the Senate, ZANU PF has 33 senators, and the CCC has 27. Additionally, 18 chiefs and two representatives of people with disabilities will join the 60 senators from the two political parties. The country’s tenth parliament will be without a lawmaker from the MDC party for the first time in over 23 years.

Zimbabwe's New MPs And Senators Will Be Sworn In On Thursday

In a statement, Zanu-PF Chief Whip Pupurai Togarepi said the party’s legislators  have resolved to forgo luxury vehicles.
Togarepi said they also resolved to forego other privileges that come with being a legislator to allow Government direct more resources towards more pressing needs facing the country. Togarepi also called on striking doctors and other civil servants to be patient as Government implements painful policies to turn around the economy. Said Togarepi:
<blockquote>As Zanu-PF parliamentarians we are alive to these genuine concerns raised by doctors but also aware of Government’s fiscal position and we implore the doctors to negotiate in good faith, and with Zimbabwe and the sick people in our hospitals at heart. To play our part, however, small or little, we are ready to forgo the luxury vehicles that come with our parliamentary positions as we are representatives of less privileged people whose only access to health is public hospitals. We, as an arm of Government and also as the ruling party are ready to lead by example and make sure we put our hands together in order to rebuild Zimbabwe</blockquote>

UPDATED: Zanu-PF MPs Resolve To Forego Luxury Vehicles

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called on public servants, including legislators, to tighten their belts and stop making outrageous demands as the country goes through a lean restructuring spell.
This comes as legislators from both the MDC and Zanu-PF tabled a list of demands to Treasury that include an increase in their budget allocation as well as latest Land Cruiser vehicles among other things. Said Mnangagwa:
<blockquote>As we restructure, reform and rebuild our economy, cutting expenditure plays an important role. I wish to remind all public servants that we must lead by example, and serve the people with modesty and humility. The sacrifices we make today are the foundations of a better tomorrow.</blockquote>

Parliament Secures Hotel Accommodation For MPs

Zanu PF secretary for legal affairs, Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana told NewsDay that President Mnangagwa will select ministers after the swearing in of legislators next week.
Mangwana said government is currently being run by Mnangagwa and his two deputies, Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi. Said Mangwana:
<blockquote>I understand that swearing-in of MPs-elect will be done next week. After the swearing-in of legislators and the election of the Speaker of the National Assembly and his deputy and the Senate President and the deputy, then the President will select his Cabinet from the MPs and the five that he is allowed by law to select outside Parliament.</blockquote>

Mnangagwa To Select Ministers After MPs Are Sworn In Next Week: Mangwana

Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Patrick Chinamasa has promised members of parliament (MPs) free cars. Chinamasa promised the legislators that he was going to change the Parliamentary Car Scheme from operating on a loan basis so that the MPs do not have to pay for the cars. In addition to the free cars, Chinamasa promised the MPs that they will also receive duty-free certificates which will allow them to import cars for themselves, although he stressed that the duty-free certificate will only be issued after two years. Unsurprisingly, the legislators greeted this news with jubilation.
Speaking in the National Assembly on Thursday, Chinamasa said:
<blockquote>With respect to Parliament budget, I have had to personally look into those issues and I want to give these guarantees. Firstly, there are two aspects which are the welfare of MPs and the need for resources to discharge their mandate. With respect to the welfare of MPs, I have committed myself and I want to repeat that when we started the Parliamentary Car Scheme, it was on a loan basis. I have since converted it to be a free car scheme, you will not be required to pay for that car.
I would like to carry that scheme to the next Parliament. We want to assure each Member of Parliament a free car.
However, there were also considerations about those vehicles, especially from rural constituencies that they normally do not last beyond two years.
For that, the only consideration is that we can allow a duty-free certificate for Members of Parliament to buy for themselves but that will be done in the third year of MPs life of Parliament. We agreed that those who suffer damage through accidents will be allowed free duty to replace the car that they had bought.
I do know as a Member of Parliament myself what it means to run a constituency, especially with respect to motor vehicles. A motor vehicle is the key issue and given our state of the roads, generally, their durability does not take us very far. So, it is a matter that I understand and I will do so clearly before Parliament dissolves.</blockquote>

MPs To Get Free Cars As Well As Duty-Free Certificates To Import Cars: Minister Chinamasa

Parliament was forced to adjourn early after legislators protested over unpaid allowances and promised iPads. The protest started after Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mabel Chinomona had announced that all legislators were obliged to attend the 2018 pre-budgetary seminar scheduled for Pandhari Lodge starting tomorrow (20 October).
Elias Mudzuri then proposed that the 2018 pre-budgetary seminar be moved to a day that is not Friday since it is constituency day and MPs want to attend to the issue of voter registration which has been giving people difficulties. Musikavanhu MP Prosper Mutseyami then raised a point of order saying that before MPs deliberate on the 2018 budget their welfare has to be looked into first. He then asked Chinomona why they had not received any of the items promised in the last budget. Said Mutseyami:
<blockquote>The Speaker also told us last year when we were going for Christmas that, each Member was going to get an Ipad and we are now facing the 2017 Christmas and no one has received these promised items.  We raise these issues which are related to the welfare of the Members of Parliament and we also said that those members who are responsible for writing these Hansards, the Hansard Reporters are in crowded offices.  Their offices are stuffy; they are unhealthy.  The Speaker promised us that he was going to look into the welfare of the office space of Hansard officers and the offices were going to be air conditioned or aerated but nothing to date has been done.  Definitely, when we go to our offices and we see the great things done by these workers, they are in unhealthy and unhygienic conditions.  Please sympathise with them.  Please respond to our requests.</blockquote>
In response, Chinomona said that the issue of iPads and the welfare of parliamentarians was being looked into by Parliament Administration. Zvishavane Ngezi legislator John Holder then said that MPs were now under siege from Chinomona who threatens to send them out every time they want to discuss issues to do with their welfare. Said Holder:
<blockquote>Hon. Members have not received Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and their allowances.  We need to go and secure our victories to come back to this august House.  The problem is that we are under siege where when we speak, we are told to sit down or be sent out.</blockquote>
Hurungwe West MP Keith Guzah sided with Holder and told Chinomona that they should not be told to keep quiet when they raise issues to do with their welfare. Said Guzah:
<blockquote>We do not want to be gagged by the Speaker of Parliament when we speak of issues that are key to our welfare here.  You must understand, when we go back to our constituencies back there, people are looking at us.  We are using resources from our pockets to sustain our constituents.  We should not be barred from speaking our hearts and minds out. </blockquote>
Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba advised the Deputy Speaker to invite the Minister of Finance and Economic Development to come and discuss the issue as the responsible minister. Zanu-PF Chief-whip Lovemore Matuke then proposed for the adjournment of the House because tempers were flaring. Said Matuke:
<blockquote>Before I propose the adjournment of the House, I think the Members are complaining because they are owed by Parliament.  They are not greedy because they also need to get their money that is owed to them by Parliament.  Furthermore they are entitled to Constituency Development Funds, they deserve it because it is their right.  So, because of the tempers that are in this House I do not think we can proceed with the debate.  I move that the debate do now adjourn.</blockquote>

MPs protest over unpaid allowances and promised iPads, force Parliament to adjourn early

Legislators yesterday indicated that they want an increase in their perks. They said this while contributing to a motion on approving the Code of Conduct and Implementation Register, which was moved by Kuwadzana House of Assembly representative Advocate Nelson Chamisa.
Buhera West representative Oliver Mandipaka said authorities needed to revisit the perks that MPs get. Said Mandipaka:
<blockquote>It is high time the authorities revisit the perks that the MPs get because we can’t be asked to declare assets that we don’t have. It’s high time the executive revisit our perks because if you look at the perks that they get and the perks that we get, it’s unfair. We do a lot of work assisting the poor in the rural areas using our resources.</blockquote>
Chegutu West Member of Parliament Dexter Nduna said the issue of perks had forced MDC-T MP Tapiwa Mashakada to apply for the post of town clerk. Said Nduna:
<blockquote>I am trying to imagine Hon. Simon Khaya Moyo, Minister of Information and Publicity being ambitious to the extent of wanting to be a Town Clerk.  It does not occur but we are having Members of Parliament going that route because the grass seems greener on the other side of the fence.  That cannot be condoned and it can only not be condoned if we have the right perks and the right conditions, then gage and mark us against those values, not against the inheritance that I have got that I have brought to Parliament.</blockquote>
James Maridadi who is MP for Mabvuku Tafara asked for the creation of a  Parliamentary Services Commission to manage the salaries of parliamentarians. Said Maridadi:
<blockquote>We should have put in place a Parliamentary Services Commission. Employees of Parliament are not civil servants and that must be understood. Throughout the whole world, employees of Parliament are employees of Parliament. Employees of the Judiciary are employees of the Judiciary and they must be treated separately. Employees of Parliament are treated like Public Servants. The reason is because it is structural. Parliament does not control its own purse. The purse of Parliament is controlled by the Executive. Mr. Speaker, one who pays the piper calls the tune. If the Executive today decides that Parliament is going to get their salaries on the 6thof the following month, so be it because we have no structure which determines when we are going to get paid and which determines how much must be in our kit.</blockquote>
John Holder said that there was need for Parliamentarian’s allowances to be increased. Said Holder:
<blockquote>They need to look into what other countries around SADC are getting.  We were getting $75 sitting allowance per day yet Zambia was getting $455 – such a difference.  It is really sad. </blockquote>

MPs want an increase in allowances

Responding to questions after presenting a ministerial statement in Parliament last week, Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa said there is need to reduce the number of legislators so as to reduce the wage bill. Chinamasa gave examples of countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom with better economies and huge populations but fewer parliamentarians.
Said Chinamasa:
<blockquote>Again, Honourable Misihairabwi-Mushonga, I agree with you that we have to reduce the wage bill, but it is not an easy walk in the park. If I came to Parliament and said, for instance what we agreed in the new Constitution is not sustainable, let me be very frank with you; it is not sustainable. The size of this Parliament is not sustainable, but if I came and say let us amend, there will be populists’ sentiments. Yes, there is no way. Our population is 14 million and we have about 350 Members of Parliament. Japan with a population of 90 million has something of that size in Parliament. We do not have that size of economy like Japan or the UK. No, but I am saying it does not need to come from me. Nothing stops you from bringing a motion to say let us reduce the size of our Parliament. You have the power to change the Constitution. </blockquote>

Chinamasa calls for smaller parliament

Controversial Matebeleland South proportional representation MP, Priscilla Misihairabwi Mushonga has claimed that 76% of legislators are HIV positive. She said this while contributing to a motion she moved calling on the public service Ministry to state its position on cases of child prostitution.
Said Misihairabwi Mushonga:
<blockquote>Seventy-six percent of the people who are sitting in this House are living with HIV/AIDS and are taking ARVs but we are unable to…yes, very true. You are unable to take out a little bit of money and put it aside so that it can be used to take care of these children, it is sad Mr. Speaker.</blockquote>
Sarah Mahoka weighed in and said that legislators who infect their partners should be killed.
