The increase in the number of murder cases in the country has irked Legislator Auxilia Mnangagwa the wife of Vice President Emmerson who questioned the deputy minister of Energy and Power Development Tsitsi Muzenda as to what his ministry was doing to ensure that there are enough streets lights in the cities.
"My question is directed to the Deputy Minister of Energy and Power Development. We observe that the number of people that are being murdered is now on the rise which is now putting pressure on our police force.
"What are you doing to ensure that we have street lights on our roads? The poles are there, but there is no light. May you look in that direction?" she said.
"Even if the question is not in your ambit, I have observed that the number of murders is on the rise because of the darkness, there are no street lights.
"May we have street lights so that we can have light? The poles are there. Whether you put solar powered light or whatever is the question I am asking. What are you going to do about it?"
Muzenda said if it is anything to do with street lights, they are under the purview of the municipality.
