Parliament owes legislators millions of dollars in outstanding allowances accumulated over the tenure of the 7th Zimbabwe legislature.
Although the Clerk of Parliament Austin Zvoma could not give the exact figure, outgoing legislators, some re-elected in the July 31 vote, said they were owed sums of between $10 000 and $20 000 each.
On Monday Zvoma said Treasury should clear the outstanding sitting allowances in order to kick-start the new and bloated Parliament on a clean slate.
