While Zanu PF senator praised President Robert Mugabe for being a good leader during his tenure as the chairman of Sadc and African Union, MDC-T Senator Morgan Komichi lamented the period as the most stressful one for Zimbabweans in that the country spent a lot of time without a leader while he was globe trotting.
Speaking in parliament Komichi said he wanted to speak on behalf of those that were aggrieved by the chairmanship of President Mugabe.
"I am going to be a lone voice. I am going to speak about what displeased me that which this country suffered when he was on this wowed tours of Africa," he said.
"Zimbabwe, as a country was left without a leader because most of the time, he spent outside the borders in Africa. He left the country when it was in serious problems. There was a large vacuum. We know that in this country there are no Cabinet meetings that take place during his absence."
Komichi said the country's business took a back seat during this period.
"This is witnessed by a lot of jobs that were lost, companies were closed, and people lost their jobs when the President was at the African Union. Workers were chased away. He ran back to try and save the situation but failed to salvage the situation to save these people," he said.
