Two Zanu PF MPs exchanged harsh words as parliamentarians toured Sable Chemicals.
“Why are there no women there? It is wrong. You should
address that first,” Biata Nyamupinga (Goromonzi West) told Sable Chemicals
chief executive officer, Bothwell Nyajeka.
Nyajeka tried to answer but Nyamupinga was not convinced forcing
Justice Wadyajena to intervene.
“This is not a women and gender committee, this is a Lands
and Agriculture Committee and we must stick to the reason we are here. We
should not bring confusion and chaos here. This is not the forum for such
issues, honourable members, let us be guided accordingly,” he said.
When it was time for introductions, Nyamupinga rekindled
the issue, saying; “My name is Honourable Biata Nyamupinga, I represent the
women and men of Goromonzi West.”
Wadyajena later hit back in his closing remarks, claiming
some MPs had been affected mentally by prospects of losing their seats in the
forthcoming polls, “hence their wayward behaviour”.
“Forgive some MPs, who misbehaved, it’s pressure from
constituencies. They may not make it back,” Wadyajena said.
