MP urges Parliament to look into Mugabe's fitness

Parliament has been urged to look into the fitness of President Robert Mugabe to determine whether he should continue in office.

Chitungwiza North MP Godfrey Sithole (MDC-T) raised the issue in the National Assembly while contributing to debate on the Presidential speech yesterday.

Sithole said Mugabe should not have returned to work in January, adding he should have stayed on "holiday forever".

He said Mugabe and Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko had "upside down and vulgar priorities" where they preferred to enjoy luxuries while people suffered.

Sithole said they should take a leaf from Tanzanian President John Magufuli who has cut luxurious spending by government officials in order to solve people's problems.
