Zanu-PF MPs walk out on police brutality motion again

Zanu-PF MPs once again walked out of the National Assembly dealing a body blow to a motion by Kuwadzana East MP Nelson Chamisa (MDC-T) to force Parliament to investigate rising cases of police brutality.

Chamisa on Tuesday sought leave of the House to move the motion for a third time after the ruling party's legislators refused to have it discussed by walking out on two previous occasions.

With all MDC-T lawmakers rising from their seats to support the adjournment of Parliament "on a definite matter of urgent public importance" in terms of Standing Order 59, Speaker Jacob Mudenda agreed to have the motion tabled.'
