Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Mabel Chinomona has spent more than two years staying at Rainbow Towers hotel on tax payer's account.
Its the same hotel where Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko is residing.
"She has been staying in a hotel since her election as Deputy Speaker in 2013, two years ago," an insider revealed.
"Her bill should be running into millions. She has made this place her home."
Chinomoma insists she did not put up at the hotel daily, but only when she was on Parliament business.
"Indeed as a presiding officer of Parliament, I must have a government house, but I do not have one.
"It's not as if I am staying here every day, only when I am on Parliament business do I put up in a hotel like any other MP.
"It could be that I have been asked to attend or preside over a seminar so I have to stay in a hotel."
