Zimbabwe's former speaker of parliament is still an MP: Tomana

Zimbabwe Attorney General Johannes Tomana has told Clerk of Parliament Austin Zvoma that former speaker Lovemore Moyo, stripped of that office by a Supreme Court decision last week, should revert to his previous status as an ordinary member of parliament, allowing him to vote in the election of a new speaker.

Zvoma sought an opinion from Tomana on Moyo's status following the Supreme Court ruling for plaintiff Jonathan Moyo of President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF party. Moyo is a member of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change.
