Gono divides Parly
Lloyd Gumbo Herald Reporter
THE Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Water, Lands and Resettlement is divided over the decision to inquire how the Reserve Bank distributed farm equipment and inputs under the farm mechanisation programme.
There are reports that some committee members want to settle personal scores by nailing Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr Gideon Gono.
This follows claims by committee chairperson Mr Moses Jiri (MDC-T) that his committee had been given approval by Parliament administration to probe Governor Gono.
Committee member and Zanu-PF legislator for Mhondoro-Ngezi Cde Bright Matonga said people were not supposed to abuse parliamentary privileges to settle personal scores.
He said some Zanu-PF legislators were going to protest against the inquiry because it was being done in bad faith.
However, Mr Jiri dismissed Cde Matonga’s claims saying parliamentary business had nothing to do with party politics and personal scores.
Cde Matonga said there was no clarification on why the committee wanted names of the beneficiaries.
“It appears that there are some members in the committee with ulterior motives who want to settle political and personal interests,” he said.
“We don’t want people to abuse parliamentary privileges by pursuing this when it is not in the interest of the committee.
“We are in the committee to represent Zanu-PF interests and the majority of Zanu-PF MPs are totally against abuse of parliamentary procedures by some people. We are going to protest against this.”
