MDC-T MPs threaten legal action

MDC-T MPs yesterday threatened legal action if their Zanu-PF counterparts pass the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Debt Assumption Bill without publishing names of beneficiaries of the farm implements scheme.

The opposition MPs raised concern with the Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda after Parliamentary Legal Committee chaired by Mudzi South MP Jonathan Samukange produced a non-adverse report on the RBZ Debt Assumption Bill.

They suspected Samukange created the report as a way of gratitude to Zanu-PF for re-admitting him into its structures.

A non-adverse report on a Bill means that its provisions are in tandem with the Constitution.
