Chinotimba angered by delay

BUHERA South Member of Parliament Honourable Joseph Chinotimba has lamented the delay on national economic development soon after harmonised elections.

Hon Chinotimba, who was among the MPs who were sworn in yesterday at Parliament building, said he is expecting the august house to amend the electoral law to enable it allow a party with more MPs to elect their President.

"I am happy that I return to Parliament but was not pleased with the delay of the inauguration of our President Mnangagwa when his party had managed to have majority seats in Parliament," said Chinotimba.

"Opposition parties were supposed to use common sense that even if Chamisa had won the Presidential elections he was not going to rule given that his party had only managed to have fewer MPs than those of the ruling party.

"Taking the election results to the Constitutional Court delayed nation progress as well as us to be sworn in for duty.

"I represent people. I stay with them and I tell you they were not happy with the delay in allowing President Mnangagwa to be in office for the good of our nation.

"Chamisa is my friend and at one time he quoted my English during his rallies hanzi ndavakumbotaura chirungu chavaChinotimba.

"He is my friend and we talk; there is no animosity between us but when it comes to development I stand with my constituency for the best.

"Coming back to my constituency, I am prepared to engage national parks authorities to help people do their business without fearing hyenas that are a threat to villagers.

"I will make sure the infrastructure is improved to allow development in communities for the betterment of our people in Buhera South.

"Ndine dzimwe shamwari dzangu dzeStudio 7 dzinotepfenyura dziri kumhiri kwemakungwa ndinoti kwavari Zimbabwe yanaka dzokai mushandire munyika menyu; we are now in a new dispensation led by President Mnangagwa who has people at heart," said Chinotimba.
