President Robert Mugabe is being misled by a gang of corrupt officials including Cabinet ministers, opposition legislators have said.
They are demanding a face to face meeting with the 92 year old Mugabe in parliament.
MDC-T Mabvuku-Tafara legislators James Maridadi made the call in parliament on Tuesday.
"We respectfully want the President to come to Parliament to meet with MPs without the Executive and we are going to be respectful, and if we do not respect him, we will respect his office," Maridadi said.
"If we speak to the President, I tell you, half of his Cabinet will not have jobs because they are corrupt, and if we do meet him, we, MPs, will give him the true picture of what is happening in the country".
Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga (Proportional Representation - MDC) said Mugabe's government is disjointed.
"What we have in this country is a President, who has been taken into captivity.
"Two days before he came, they were fixing potholes in Borrowdale pretending all was well, but opposition MPs will petition Mugabe to meet them behind closed doors,"she said.
