A Zanu PF Matabeleland South legislator Ross Mpofu has boasted that they are living a luxurious life as they roll on latest wheels.
In disjointed speech in Parliament on Tuesday, Mpofu said 91 year old President Robert Mugabe should rule for ever.
"We are better off because we drive Ford Rangers and other latest models but some people died during the liberation struggle," she said.
Mpofu said she wished the country was still at war saying some legislators are lazy.
"Madam Speaker, when I look at some people who come to play here in Parliament, I wish it was during the war.
"These people should be made to run so that they jump out of the windows. We should be representing people out there. We are not here to discriminate each other.
"We are not here to play. If you want to play, why do you not just go home and play.
"We must be here to see how we can remove sanctions and improve the economy of our country.
"Madam Speaker, people fought for this country and I am saying that the President should have many more years to live.
"When it comes to education, the President gave us computers all over. He did not discriminate according to parties when he distributed those computers. Our education system has improved more than any other country. He is an elderly person and he has a vision".
