Buhera South MP Joseph Chinotimba seem to be wanting the government of Zimbabwe to push for the compensation of women who were treated as slaves in Kuwait following their rescue from that country.
The government managed to fund the transportation of the women who got stuck in Kuwait where they were used as slaves.
Speaking in parliament, Chinotimba said his point of order was to ask if Kuwait Government can be made to do something because these young ladies were treated like slaves there.
"Can Parliament not do something so that we can demand payment for the slavery activities that these young ladies were subjected to? Is there no need to claim compensation from the Kuwait Government?" he said. "I once read an article where Britain was ordered to pay compensation for some people in Kenya for slavery. Our children were used as slaves and they were involved in evil deeds. Can something not be done about it. I am sorry that people do not appreciate what I am talking about."
Chinotimba said they do not appreciate the fact that people went through a lot of suffering, especially those that are on the other side.
