admininvolving the senior national soccer team in matches that were played in a number of Asian countries.
Kambuzuma representative Willas Madzimure (MDC-T) moved the motion two weeks ago.
In the motion, Madzimure moved that a Committee of the House be established to investigate and make recommendations on the role played by the Sports Commission and Zifa in the commission of the Asiagate scandal.
He also called for an investigation of the Ministry of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture.
The legislator also moved that all administrators implicated in the commission of corruption in soccer be referred to the police and the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Madzimure said the Asiagate scandal had tainted the image of the nation.
“It is quite clear that our football has been compromised to an extent were a lot of people have lost confidence in our athletes.
“It has cost Zimbabwe a lot of things and the national team is struggling to organise friendly matches to an extent were we are now paying people to play with us,” he said.
When he moved the motion, Madzimure said the long-term solution was for Parliament to enact legislation to specifically deal with corruption in sport as the current legal framework had loopholes.
He also proposed that those implicated in the scam, especially the masterminds, be banned from soccer for life.
A Zifa investigation into matches in Asia revealed that the majority of them could have been compromised and those implicated are set to stand before an Ethics Commission to be set-up by the association.
Fifa head of security, Chris Eaton, was in the country last week and commended Zifa in their efforts to weed out corruption in football and called for punishment to be meted out on those found guilty of throwing away matches.
A number of current national team players were implicated in the match-fixing scandal.
