Mount Darwin West MP Barnwell Seremwe (ZANU-PF) has pleaded with the president Robert Mugabe to ensure the construction of more hospitals and clinics in his constituency amid revelations people were traveling more than 20 killometres to access health facilities.
Speaking in parliament Seremwe said hailed Mugabe for good leadership.
"People from Mount Darwin West are very proud of what the President is doing for us. We have been without proper leadership for quite some time, but now that we have a new Member of Parliament, we say thank you to His Excellency, the President for making us choose such a leader," he said. "We are also very happy because my constituency did not have a road, but now we have a road. We are very much pleased by what His Excellency, the President is doing in the constituency."
He said the roads are good and there are no potholes.
"Travelling is now smooth. I also ask the President to look into our problem in health institutions. People travel long distances seeking for treatment up to 20 kilometres and this is forcing some people to die in their homes with no treatment," he said. "We also ask His Excellency to sanction the exhumation of Hon. Ndoda's remains from Bindura to be put at the Heroes Acre, a status which she deserves. We also support the War Veterans and all the fighters who fought for the Liberation of the country. We are solidly behind our party Zanu PF and we promise that whatever election is going to be held, there is going to be a 100% sweep of all the seats that will be contested for, just as we did when I was elected."
He said they also thank His Excellency and urge him to keep on working hard for his people.
"May I also direct my request to the Minister of Agriculture that Minister may you please give farming inputs to farmers on time instead of giving them after the onset of the rainy season," he said.
