BUHERA South MP Joseph Chinotimba is changing the face of Parliament with his brand of comical debating punctuated with incoherent points.
He railed against corruption yesterday but triggersed howls of laughter in the process.
"I applaud President Mugabe for his calls against corruption. However, the biggest question is where is corruption found?
"It starts here and it is here. For example, if Zanu-PF MPs laugh at MDC MPs and MDC MPs laugh at Zanu-PF MPs, that is corruption," Chinotimba retorted, to wild cheers.
He managed to get MPs laughing when talking about poor roads.
"The people have even christened the poor roads with some names. First, they used to be called Kangai Road (after the then MP, the late Kumbirai Kangai), then the roads were named Tsvangirai Road (after MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai) and now they call them Chinotimba Road, due to the deplorable conditions.
"I am surprised when I travel and see on some roads they put tar on top of another tar, when gravel roads in my constituency are pathetic.
"Sometimes I wonder what type of a country Buhera is in the whole of the country called Zimbabwe," Chinotimba said, to even deafening laughter from the other MPs.
"Before I came here to speak, I received a call that hyenas are now a menace in my constituency," he added amid wild cheers.
"You laugh because the hyenas have not terrorised people in your constituency; that is why I said corruption starts here.
"This Parliament should decide what could be done with these animals. Of course the President said animals should not be killed."
