Tsvangirai chastises MDC-T MPs

MDC-TY president Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday chaired a stormy shadow cabinet meeting where he reportedly chastised his MP for demanding luxurious perks from an ailing economy.

The meeting took place in the shadow of a leaked MDC-T party caucus letter where the legislators were demanding Land Rover Discoveries and Jeep Cherokees and a steep upward review of their sitting allowances from the current $75 to $200.

The rebuke further exposed the growing fissures within the MDC-Ts top brass which reached fever pitch last week amid leadership renewal calls.
