Twitter joke lights up Parliament after Jonathan Moyo walks in

Jonathan Moyo Higher Education minister yesterday turned up in the National Assembly and attracted interjections from opposition legislators who chanted "Twitter" at him.

Mabvuku-Tafara MP James Maridadi (MDC-T) asked Moyo to explain his statements on Twitter, alleging that Information ministry secretary George Charamba ordered the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation to remove Stem advertisements and to respond to reports of discord with the Primary and Secondary Education ministry over the programme.

Moyo simply said there was no contradiction between the two education ministries. He later angered MPs by ridiculing their questions and telling them what they should have asked him.

Nelson Chamisa told the minister not to extend his twitter stunts in the Parliament. Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda chided Moyo and asked him to address the MPs' concerns without provoking them.
